"I did my due diligence and received three proposals on the replacement of my crumbling asphalt layered garage floor and driveway apron. There was no doubt that Greg Pietig from Crosstown Concrete and Brick Paving was the only one who had a clear vision how the job should be done, taking into account every aspect of the work, and working with me to meet our needs. I was so impressed with the professionalism of the crew and, most importantly, the quality of the work. My 60+ year garage has never looked so good! I have received several unsolicited compliments from neighbors, all wanting the name of the company that did the work. I smile and tell them contact Greg at Crosstown Concrete and Brick Paving!"
"They were very helpful and responsive to all my questions about a broken section of the driveway. They didn't push services and recommended the best course given driveway condition. They also were flexible in scheduling and responsive throughout multiple back and forths as I had to cancel and reschedule."
"I called Alan to see if he was willing to provide an estimate. We have a retaining wall behind our house that is approximately 100 feet long by about 2 feet high. It is in between our house and a railroad track that borders a nice park. We had one estimate last week that came in at about $7,000 for the job - and this was from one of the well rated, less expensive Angie's List servicers. I have been been watching the wall for a couple of years and have been very reluctant to deal with it.
He looked around and said that if he were me he wouldn't replace the retaining wall at all - he'd simply regrade a little bit and slope the area toward the bottom, cover with straw, seed with shade resistant grass, and save myself a lot of money for something that probably didn't need to be a retaining wall in the first place (the previous owners put it in themselves to create a 3 foot X 100 foot garden along the back yard. He then explained where I could get the materials to do it myself. He would have been willing to put in a bid to build the wall if I wanted, but I assured him that what he described sounded great to me.
Visually we don't ever see this - neither does anybody else. His advice cost him some business but is very much appreciated. It's what I wanted to hear, but didn't even know to ask anybody about it because I hadn't considered it as an option. He's earned my business in the future. "

Box fill refers to the maximum number of conductors that can be contained within a wiring enclosure box, as well as the total volume of the components. Determining the allowable number of conductors in a box requires adding up the number of conductors, clamps, support fittings, devices and equipment, and equipment grounding conductors to make sure you’re within the allowable volume.
A 500-square-foot driveway can cost anywhere from $5,000 to $35,000, depending on the type of pavers you choose. Grass and concrete pavers are more affordable, while stone and cobblestone pavers are on the higher end of that price range. You’ll save some money by DIYing the installation, though we highly recommend sticking with a professional for this type of driveway installation.
A traditional driveway gate isn’t your only option when installing a barricade in front of your driveway. A security gate like a swing gate, double swing gate, bi-folding gate, vertical gate, or pivot gate could work just as well as your driveway gate—if not better for your home depending on which qualities you’re after. Like sliding driveway gates, many of these alternatives work with automatic features that simplify entering and exiting your property.
The best ways to increase the lifespan of your driveway are to carry out proper maintenance and get repairs done quickly. First, reseal your driveway every one to three years to protect it from the elements. If you start to notice significant cracks, hire a professional to diagnose the problem before it gets more serious. You can also use sand instead of salt when de-icing your driveway (since salt is corrosive) and clean your driveway annually using a pressure washer to keep it in tip-top shape.
If your driveway is cracked, you can repave it with a process called asphalt overlay. Overlay is more cost-effective than a full replacement but is better suited for minor cracks and issues. If you have major cracks or other problems like water pooling, asphalt overlay isn’t your best bet. Plus, paving over a cracked driveway only extends the lifetime by about 10 years, whereas replacing it would start the clock over completely to give you up to 30 years.
