"They did a super job. Driveway looks excellent with the new crushed granite. I was having run off issues on 2 sides of my house. After being leveled that problem is gone. Landscape rock next to retaining wall gives a nice facelift. "
"They did a great job coating a weak area in my driveway near the sidewalk to the front door which should hold up for years to come. Other than a small area near my garage floor seem that didn't get freshly coated, Signature Seal Coating did a much better job than the company I used last time I sealed my drive."
"Wanted to wait to see how things settled/ weathered, prior to writing a review. They were very nice and professional, cleaned the edges of the driveway, and put a thin layer of sealant on. Looked great at first, but over time (six months ) wore down .... maybe it needs to be an annual thing, or they should put two coats on. "
"Before I made my selection to go with Genadek Landscaping I did my homework! I met with 6 different Landscapers, got estimates, read Angie's List Reviews, checked with the BBB. The reason for this is my particular project was difficult. I needed to replace a retaining wall that was about to fall down and hit my house. It was about 3 feet from house and 4 feet tall (so you do the math). Problem is that the retaining wall was holding back my neighbor's hill so I needed a Landscaper AND an Excavator. Enter Stan Genadek. From the moment I met with Stan Genadek I could tell that he and his team were different. Not only were they landscapers that understood soil dynamics, but they were also an excavators and could remove my retaining wall and build a new one the right way without damage to my house or my neighbor's hill. Also, they were able to do other things (example - remove my old window wells and put in new ones) whereas some other landscaping companies weren't comfortable doing all the work I wanted done. Also, I found Stan to be really pleasant to work with and could ask him any questions I had. Stan even game me some terrific additional ideas for my yard that I ended up using. Overall, comparing estimates I found Genadek Landscaping to be about middle of the road (in terms of price) they weren't the most expensive or the cheapest. But really seemed to have the expertise, so I booked my job in end of July and put my $100 down to reserve my place in line. I was told that the project would be about 10-12 weeks out due to how busy they get. So here's a warning, book EARLY!!! But it's definitely worth the wait, the work is top notch! The project started around the end of September and took about 3 weeks. The foreman's name was Mike and there was a 3 man crew. I was immediately impressed with the work! Very professional, great attitude, and daily check-ins and updates to let me know what was going on. I got all my questions answered on a daily basis and the crew cleaned up after themselves each day. I was really impressed with the work and could see that Mike and his crew truly cared about my house and my project and wanted it to be great. Mike would even take me aside with just random pieces of advice and comments about things I could do for maintenance and upkeep with my landscaping after they left (just as a courtesy). Once the project was completed we did a final walkthrough and went over every small detail before handing over my final check. I was very satisfied! I've already received a number of compliments from friends and neighbors on the work and will go back to Genadek landscaping in a heartbeat for any future jobs. Also, I have to say Stan was great to work with on the business-side of things throughout the process as well. I had Stan's email and cell number and whenever I left a message I'd get a quick response back and he was always pleasant to work with. Overall, I'm very happy and can't say enough great things about this company!"
Chip seal layers gravel and a liquid bitumen one at a time on-site, while asphalt directly pours a pre-combined mixture. Asphalt must be sealed, but it will last up to four times as long as chip seal driveways. Aesthetically, chip seal has a natural, rustic look compared to the traditional asphalt slab.
The answer to whether or not you need to get a permit before you start your driveway can vary widely based on local ordinances and the scope of your driveway ideas. In most urban and suburban areas, a permit is needed before building a new driveway to ensure that a homeowner is using safe materials and proper drainage practices while designing and constructing a new driveway. In some rural areas, a homeowner may not be required to apply for a permit. When building a new driveway on your own, always check with your local building department to see if you need to request a permit. When hiring a driveway contractor, verify that the right permits are being used before driveway construction begins.
An asphalt driveway should be at least 3 inches thick over a compacted gravel base. Areas with poor drainage should have a thicker stone base. To install a new asphalt driveway over an existing driveway, the new asphalt should be at least 2 inches thick and the existing driveway should be in relatively good condition.
Asphalt edging secures the sides of your driveway to prevent crumbling and cracking over time. Most driveways have edges with a 45-degree grading. This helps transfer some of the stress from the asphalt to the ground underneath. If your driveway doesn’t have proper edging, the pressure from your car may break down the edges over time.
A driveway's lifespan varies by material. Asphalt driveways typically last 15 to 30 years, while concrete driveways last longer, between 20 and 50 years. The longevity of any driveway is affected by factors like extreme temperatures, heavy traffic, and the quality of maintenance. Regular upkeep, such as filling cracks, resealing the surface, and ensuring proper drainage, can help extend its life. For gravel driveways, regrading to fill in uneven areas every year or two is recommended.
