Asphalt & Concrete Contractor. Driveways, Concrete Aprons, Asphalt/Concrete Driveway Additions, Asphalt Sealcoating, Patios, Sidewalks and more. Stamped & Colored Concrete also Available.
"Poor customer service and poor quality! After reading other's reviews I see we aren't the only ones with this issue. The quote went well and we were scheduled for Oct 2017. The asphalt, where the apron was to go, was removed and it was determined that the apron would sit higher than the garage floor. The guys rang the doorbell 4 different times after trying different things and talking with others. It was decided that we rip up part of the driveway to make everything level, which was a large added cost. We stayed off of the asphalt and concrete way past the recommended time. After the winter I emailed pictures showing cracks and raised concrete. On 4/27/18 Josh responded that they were hairline fractures in the concrete and nothing would be done. On 3/7/19 I emailed more pictures showing these hairline cracks worsening and frost heaving up to about 2 inches. On 3/8 Josh left me a VM saying he would come and look in April or May. The middle of July I called to remind Josh that they still need to be looked at. He didn't come to the phone but had the young lady answering the phone tell me he had been sick and had a funeral and would be out soon. On 7/30 I emailed Josh to see when he was coming and to look at our asphalt also as oil marks were present in multiple areas. When the asphalt was installed there were oil marks but figured they would go away. Josh came out on 8/6 and said there was nothing they can do about the cracks as we "live in MN" and to cut away part of our garage wood that was ruined by the raising concrete in the winter. He hadn't seen oil marks before, took pictures, said he was going to talk to Adam and get back to me. After not hearing back I emailed on 8/25 for the owner's contact info. He emailed promptly back and said that a car had an oil leak and that was the issue with the asphalt and nothing was covered under warranty. Funny how there are multiple oils stains on our driveway (only the new part where people don't park) and most where tire tracks are and not where oil would spill. I decided after reading other people's reviews that talking to the owner would go unanswered and not worth my time as nothing would be done anyway. So before you hire this company look at the pictures and know if there's a problem you will not get a quick answer or resolution. We always hear "we live in MN" as a response. We have owned 3 houses in MN, had MANY contractors, aprons free of cracks, concrete all along our pool and concrete garage floors, that are 15 years old, and all our MN friend's houses that have aprons that look way better than our less than 2 year old one. One of the worst customer service experiences we have ever experienced. There way better contractors out there!"

"I was very impressed with everything Clark Companies did for me from the value-priced estimate to the professional team members who poured the sidewalk and landings exactly per my design. It was no easy feat to maneuver their Bobcat through an extremely tight front gate to my backyard to remove two old concrete landings, but they did so with ease and expertise. The entire job was completed in only two days. Clark Companies deserve 5 STARS PLUS, and I would use them again in a heartbeat. Lynn L. "

When hiring an asphalt paving contractor to install your driveway, ask as many questions up front as possible. Here are a few questions to ask a prospective driveway contractor:
How many years of experience do you have?
Are you licensed, bonded, and insured?
Do you have worker’s compensation?
Do you use subcontractors on your projects?
Do you clean up after the job is done?
Who is responsible for any damage to lawn or landscaping?
Do you provide a guarantee or warranty on your work?
Do you give free estimates?
What is the timeline for completion?
How do you handle change orders?
Can you provide at least three references?
Can I see some of the work you’ve done?
It might seem counterintuitive, but the best time to install a paver patio is during late fall to winter. The cold and wet weather of those seasons can help your patio installer perfect the foundation for your patio. Plus, you'll likely be able to find better sales and deals during the colder months when patio installation business is typically slower. Consult a local patio paver professional to determine the best time to install based on your area’s climate.
The cost of a paver patio is $3,800 for a 280-square-foot patio on average. Depending on the patio size, paver material, and design complexity, this cost can range from $2,400 to $7,000 or more.
The size of your patio is a significant factor in the project’s overall cost. If you're building a smaller patio of only 60 square feet, your costs will be closer to $480 to $1,500. If you want a more luxurious 900-square-foot patio, you'll spend closer to $7,200 to $22,500.
A paver patio can last anywhere from 20 to 100 years, depending on the type of pavers and how well you maintain them.
Travertine pavers are usually the most durable, lasting 100 years or more, with regular maintenance. Concrete brick pavers have a variety of shapes and colors available and typically last 25 to 50 years. Traditional brick pavers have a more classic look, lasting around 20 years with proper maintenance.
An asphalt driveway costs about $7 to $15 per square foot, including labor and materials. The cost will vary depending on your location, how thick the base material is, what prep is required, the thickness of the asphalt, and the accessibility of the job site. The national average cost to install an asphalt driveway is about $4,740.
