"Brady and his crew did a fantastic job! We love our new driveway and will definitely be calling him again for more concrete work. Highly recommend Brady’s Concrete and Construction!"
"Exceeded expectations! The driveway looks great plus they repaired the adjacent disturbed lawn and sprinkler system as well. They were also very contentious of the dust that was going to be generated when cutting the joints that they let me know of a side window that was open. I would definitely hire them again and you will love the work they do!"

I would recommend them for your next project."

"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."
"Chris and his team installed a 6 zone lawn irrigation for my home near Lake of the Isles in Minneapolis. I am very pleased. Chris is a knowledgeable professional. The plumbing was subbed to Stewart Plumbing and they installed copper piping from the main. This is the only way to plumb an irrigation system in order to get the pressure necessary to drive the system. Chris and his team were in and out in one day. He delivered everything he promised and I would recommend his company very highly."
"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. "
" Stan Genadek responded personally to our call for a bid and spent an hour with us, addressing our questions and helping us educate ourselves about landscaping our yard and replacing our retaining wall. He gave us a price per square foot, which helped us determine what additional work we would do, and followed up in a prompt and helpful manner when we called any time we had questions. When we compared and contrasted his bid and our plan with other contractors we were confident we were making a good decision, and we entered into a contract for a significant project with Genadek. Stan and his forepersons, Mike and Tim, met with us the first day of work and Mike was on site every day, working with the very fine crew of gentlemen Genadek employs. They were prompt, courteous, considerate of our needs and those of our neighbor's, on whose driveway they needed to work to do their job. Mike communicated well with us in every case, making certain that what we wanted and what was possible matched up, and in addressing and resolving concerns as they arose. Cleanup every day and at job's end was excellent, and every day we had people in our neighborhood tell us how great the walls looked, even during building. We continue to have daily remarks and inquiries for Genadek's contact information due to the excellence of the job Mike completed for us. We would recommend Genadek to anyone who asked, and will have Mike and his crew on any job we plan in future years, regardless of where we live.We are extremely pleased, and very happy."
Asphalt, which is stone mixed with tar, is the most common material for outdoor basketball courts because it’s so sturdy and versatile. However, you don't have to use it: another option is polymeric rubber, which has shock pads that can prevent injury. This option is a little more expensive, ranging between $16 and $25 per square foot.
Materials used for indoor basketball courts, such as hardwoods, aren’t really an option outdoors.
In most cases, you don’t need a permit to repave your driveway, although some exceptions exist. If you’re widening your driveway and plan on widening the apron as well, you’ll usually need a permit from the Department of Transportation in your area. This permit costs between $50 and $300 in most cases. Most municipalities will also require a certified and insured contractor do the work relating to the apron and curb cut. You can contact your building department or ask your paving company if you need a permit. Your driveway professional will usually pull the permit for you.
There’s no single best asphalt grade—it all comes down to where and how it’s used. Highways and heavy-traffic roads need something tough, like polymer-modified asphalt (PMA) or Stone Matrix Asphalt (SMA). Local roads and parking lots rely on the Performance Graded (PG) system, chosen based on climate. A PG 64-28 mix, for example, handles a broad temperature range while simpler, more cost-effective mixes are typically enough for residential driveways. The best grade of asphalt depends on traffic, weather, and your budget, which is why a professional’s input is always a smart move before making a decision.
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.
Chip seal layers gravel and a liquid bitumen one at a time on-site, while asphalt directly pours a pre-combined mixture. Asphalt must be sealed, but it will last up to four times as long as chip seal driveways. Aesthetically, chip seal has a natural, rustic look compared to the traditional asphalt slab.
