"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."
"purchased a big deal for landscape plan and quote in May, 2014. Multiple attempts (phone calls) to get someone out to complete the review of project. Once they responded, very prompt but too late in season to begin project. Quote and plan was provided. "
"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!"
While the specific timeline for building a driveway can vary based on driveway length and local weather conditions, the average concrete driveway can require several days to lay down all of the different parts of the driveway. The curing process may require you to avoid using your driveway for a week following construction. Heavier vehicles should be kept off of a new concrete driveway for several weeks. Building a gravel driveway may take just one to two days in total.
It’s best to weigh the pros and cons of each material and decide on your priorities for your driveway. Gravel won’t be an appropriate choice if your driveway experiences heavy traffic. You’ll find that you need to level and top it off regularly, which could make the material a much more expensive option.
Yes, it is possible to pave over an existing driveway, but whether it's the right choice depends on several factors. If the underlying structure of your current driveway is still strong, concrete or asphalt resurfacing can be a cost-effective way to prolong its life. However, if your driveway has significant issues like potholes, deep cracks, or other inconsistencies, it is best to remove the old driveway and start from scratch. Key factors to consider include the current driveway's condition, the compatibility of the new material, the added thickness and height, and the necessary surface preparation.
Gravel is one of the few driveway materials that can handle rain the second it’s installed. Unlike asphalt, which needs days to set, or concrete, which requires weeks to cure, gravel is ready as soon as it’s compacted. It’s naturally permeable, allowing water to drain straight through—with no risk of pooling or surface damage. Gravel driveways are one of the most affordable, at $1 to $3 per square foot, and can also last upward of 100 years.
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.
