"I live on an embankment on Rice Creek in New Brighton and I wanted to brick pave my entire backyard . Knowing it would be an expensive project I needed to find the right team to get the job done correctly and the way we envisioned it. We consulted with 7 different contractors to share our vision and get their ideas on how to get the most of our area. Most contractors gave me their idea and opinions that did not quite match the design I had in my mind. Tom was amazing from the beginning and really seemed to understand what I was looking for. I still remember when he said "you want your entire back yard paved. I can do that for you." I began to believe he knew what we wanted and how he was going to make it all happen. Long story short he started the project one month ahead of time and had it completed amazingly fast despite the challenges of the project. which included a huge retaining wall above Rice Creek and a firepit on the edge overlooking the creek. With the excellence and efficiency of the team I was confident I had found the right people to do this most cherished home improvement. I wish I could show pictures of the amazing job Tom and his team did for my family and me. For anyone out there looking for a project to be completed please do yourself a favor and have Tom with Maltese Contracting take a look at your job and vision. I am confident you will not be disappointed."

Paving Services questions, answered by experts

You’ll first need to install a base underneath your pavers for extra stability and drainage. Otherwise, the pavers can sink into the ground, and you’ll have to reinstall them. Use a base gravel layer of 4 to 6 inches for walkways and 10 to 12 inches for driveways. Compact your gravel layer every 2 to 4 inches so it’s nice and solid. After you install your gravel base, apply a 1-inch layer of sand on top.

A driveway approach is the part of a driveway where the public road meets the private driveway. This section contains several key elements, including the driveway apron, the curb cut, and the end slope. Depending on the slope of the driveway, this area may also contain the trench drain.

You can pour concrete over asphalt if it’s in good condition, thick, stable, and well-compacted. Concrete is more durable than asphalt and can extend the lifetime of your driveway without having to pay frequent asphalt driveway repair costs or replace it completely. 

But this is best reserved as a temporary solution based on budget restraints, as asphalt requires more frequent repairs and assessments than concrete. Once that concrete top is poured, it’ll be harder to accurately understand what’s happening beneath that layer, which could lead to more issues.

Your driveway contractor will probably recommend that you avoid driving on your new millings driveway for up to a week. Keeping pressure off the freshy applied millings will help the driveway to bind together. While the sun is helpful for binding millings, hotter weather can actually make the curing process take longer.

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.
