"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!"
"David Ernst painted all the replacement roof caps to match with the color of the roof shingles, and did all the awnings over the windows as well. He also put on a vent cap for the upstairs bathroom for me as well. The roof inspector was impressed with the work and the pictures that were taken. they were very fast, and cleaned up the yard and driveway. I highly recommend David Ernst"

"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. "
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.
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.
Costs range from $3 to $7 per square foot, depending on the area size and project scope.
Driveway aprons typically range between four and seven inches thick, though your town's building codes will likely have specific requirements. Additionally, you may need to add a layer of permeable aggregate in the excavation below your paved apron to ensure proper stormwater drainage.
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.
