"We hired Concrete Images after taking bids from 2 other concrete contractors. They were the most competitive. We had a broken down asphalt walkway 490 feet long to replace along with several sidewalk repairs to be completed. Jim and his crew came in and finished the project in 4 days. Excellent workmanship and clean cut crew. I would use them again in a heartbeat. Jim Smith Director of Facilities St. Raphael Church and School Crystal, MN"

"As it pertains to professionalism, punctuality, quality, communication, and value John & Jerry Co was by far one of the best contractors that I’ve worked with. The asphalt driveway was replaced and it looks great. From scheduling and providing the free estimate, laying the base, to smoothing out the new asphalt, which was followed-up with meticulous clean up – all employees that I came in contact with were extremely professional and friendly. The crew was also very courteous to my neighbors and their properties. The project was top notch and turned out just as I had hoped. Need to also mention the job was completed ahead of scheduled. I highly recommend John & Jerry Co. as a contractor who can be counted on to do a great job."

"This was a great experience. If you don't want to bother to read the details, the takeaway is that Northland should be on the shortlist for your home fence project. Northland was one of four fence installation companies my wife and I contacted to request an estimate for our backyard fence. We were replacing a little over 70 feet of fencing in our backyard (both metal hurricane fence and wood privacy fence) with full privacy fencing. Northland's response was a formal estimate, including an overhead view of our property with the estimated fence outlined. It was the most professional response we received. The cost was well within range of the other three companies we contacted. Only Northland's vinyl fences came with a lifetime warranty. We went with Northland because of the lifetime guarantee and because we preferred the vinyl material. Every interaction with Northland throughout this process only confirmed that we had made the right decision. The sales team is quick to respond to every inquiry. I never felt rushed or pressured - indeed, to the contrary, they offered a free in-person consultation if we didn't have enough information to decide from the estimate. We had a lot of questions, and they were very patient, responsive, and helpful. The communication is terrific. They clearly spell out what you can expect from the process, from digging out your own property pins or identifying private utility lines (they provide resources for this) to the timeline of the work. They tell you when you're being moved from one area of service (sales, billing, installation teams) to another, and each group is responsive. At the time of our down payment (50% of the estimate), we were provided a definite date for the removal of our existing fence and the driving of our new fence posts, seven and a half weeks later. This is the only date we had to be available for the installation crew. The drive crew arrived earlier than their estimated window, and our consultation with the employee was about ten minutes. They quickly and quietly dismantled our fence, leaving most in a pile in our driveway for the haul crew to remove. My wife and I both work from home, but the work was done quietly enough that it didn't disturb either of us. The crew also dealt with multiple inquiries from nosy neighbors, which they handled with professionalism. The haul crew arrived about a week later to take our old fence materials. They didn't require us to be home for that part of the process. Work was completed in under a half hour. We were provided a three-week window during which time we could expect the installation crew to complete installation. It was just over two weeks before the crew arrived to complete work. The installation crew did not need to meet with us and began work as soon as they arrived, completing the work quietly and efficiently in a few hours. The fence looks fantastic. Our backyard is completely transformed. The white vinyl fence looks both modern and classic at the same time. The gates work wonderfully (and close automatically). We wanted our backyard to be quiet and private, but I didn't expect it to look this nice. I'm really impressed by the entire experience. Great job, Northland."

"Empire did tuckpointing on our brick as well as cleaned out all the cracks between concrete slabs on the drive way and re-caulked them. Great work and good to invest in proper driveway sealing to prevent erosion. The quality of the caulking and tuckpointing was excellent and you could tell these are seasoned professionals. Would use them again!"

Asphalt Driveways questions, answered by experts

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.

New asphalt typically needs 24 to 72 hours to dry before it can handle light foot traffic and careful driving. Although it may appear solid after a few days, the full curing process, where the asphalt reaches its peak strength, takes much longer—generally from 30 days to a year.

During this extended curing time, the surface remains relatively soft and can be damaged by heavy vehicles, sharp objects, or high temperatures. To protect your investment, it's best to avoid parking heavy machinery on the asphalt until it has fully cured.

The exact time required for drying and curing depends on several factors, including the weather, the specific asphalt mix, and its thickness. For the most accurate advice tailored to your situation, consult with your asphalt contractor.

When asphalt cures, it typically changes from a very dark black hue to a lighter, more matte gray color. Cured asphalt also won’t be tacky or sticky to the touch or emit any odors from the asphalt mix. Additionally, the surface of fully cured asphalt won’t deform under any pressure.

Think of the street as a way to capture all the elements on either side of the road, including the road—a street encompasses the homes or other buildings, the trees, and the road of a given area as defined by the beginning and end of the street on a map. A roadway, however, is the component of the street where cars travel.

Gravel is the cheapest way to extend a driveway. Gravel is an affordable, practical option that’s easy to install and perfect for DIY projects, helping you save on labor costs. It can be quickly spread and leveled to create extra driveway space without heavy preparation. While gravel doesn’t offer the same durability or finished look as concrete or asphalt, its low cost makes it ideal for budget-conscious homeowners who want a functional solution without overspending.
