"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!"
"Due to a family emergency, my husband and I decided to sell our house this year. We asked Justin to come over and walk through the house with us and give his opinion on things that should be done before putting it up for sale. He gave us a reasonable quote, and let us decide what we wanted him to do, and what we thought we could tackle ourselves. He knew our goal, and wanted to make sure we got what we wanted and were satisfied. Justin and his crew painted the main living areas of the inside of the house (walls and ceiling), remodeled the main floor bathroom, fixed and repainted some siding around the house, and poured a cement apron and re-sealed the driveway. He was always in contact with us on the progress of the projects (as we had already moved out). If we had questions or concerns, he would respond quickly. As many times as we contacted him, he was always very nice and professional."
While blacktop is a type of asphalt, the terms should not be used interchangeably, as not all asphalt qualifies as blacktop. The primary differences are in their composition, production process, and ideal applications. Blacktop contains more stone than other types of asphalt and is heated to a higher temperature during production—300°F or more—while hot-mix asphalt is heated to between 275°F and 300°F. The ratio of bitumen (a tar-like crude oil) is a key differentiator, though sources vary: some state blacktop has less bitumen, making it less durable, while others claim it has a higher ratio. Due to these differences, asphalt is generally more durable and better for high-traffic areas like highways and streets, while blacktop is more suitable for playgrounds and residential driveways. For a driveway project, it is best to consult a professional to determine the most appropriate material.
With proper maintenance, asphalt milling driveways can last 30 years or more. Over time, you’ll need to regularly sealcoat your driveway. You should also have your driveway inspected every few years and make any repairs as soon as they are necessary; this will prolong the lifespan of your driveway.
You should contact your driveway installer before winterizing a newly installed driveway. Winterizing it before the asphalt or concrete has fully cured can damage the driveway. But in many cases, you don't need to winterize a newly installed driveway anyway since it's likely freshly sealed and won't have much damage yet.
Regular sealing, crack filling, and professional inspections help extend pavement lifespan and prevent costly repairs.
By grading and compacting the base soil, ensuring proper drainage and stability.
