"Clark Companies of MN did an AMAZING job installing our gravel driveway. They took their time and made sure it was exactly how we wanted it. The guys asked us along the way how we liked it, of course we said we loved it! Weâ ve been living in our new build for about 8 months with use of only half our driveway, Clark Companies of MN came in quickly, reasonably priced and now we can finally use our whole driveway!!"

"The fences is still standing two years later. That is the best think I can write. The workmanship is poor with uneven cuts and sloppy installation. The customer service was horrible and two years later, Patrick (the owner) continues to evade my requests to finish the job (i.e., properly install the gates).
The gates are sagging and the topper blew off (the same week of installation). I was in touch with Patrick (the owner) on multiple occasions immediately after the installation. He promised to come and resolve the remaining issues, but never returned. I contacted him multiple times the first summer (of the install), the second summer, and now the third summer. He simply does not respond to my emails or phone calls. This was a pattern.
They left a mess in my yard and did a poor installation. The owner promised (at the time he was hired) to fill the fences posts by the gate with rock. According to Patrick (owner), the gates would sag and "lots of other guys don't to this, but that is poor quality work because the fence will sag." Well, he never fill them and the gates are very sagged. He also installed the latches backward. One one gate, it opened into an upward hill so the gate only opened 12 inches before hitting the upward slope. He had to remove and re-install the hardware on that gate. That left wholes in the PVC fence post, which looks very bad. There was not attempt to repair or hide the extra wholes. The other gate has the hardware backward, which required me to show every guest how to actually enter the backyard (they are that counter intuitive). 
To this day, there are still no caps on the top of the gates.
The fence installers made a mess in my yard. This included some trash and a very large mound of sand from when they dug the fence posts. They left the mound in my backyard on my landscaped grass. I had to remove it myself two weeks later (a full day to effort with two people) and it left a large spot of dead grass and dirt, which I had to reseed. Patrick (the owner) said that it did not occur to the installers to put this on a hard surface--like the driveway--and they never warned us of this.
We also agreed on a particular type of fence, which followed the grade of the ground (I have some sloping in my yard). I paid more for that fence type. The week before installation, Patrick called and tried to convince me to accept another type of fence that did not follow the grade of the ground. He said, "I will be fine." I had to insist that he abide by the contract. I was very fortunate that I had him write that detail in the contract.
The whole experience was shocking. If a law suit was not such a hassle, I would have sued. I should have and still might.

Asphalt Driveways questions, answered by experts

Gravel is one of the few driveway materials that can handle rain the second it’s installed. Unlike asphalt, which needs days to set, or concrete, which requires weeks to cure, gravel is ready as soon as it’s compacted. It’s naturally permeable, allowing water to drain straight through—with no risk of pooling or surface damage. Gravel driveways are one of the most affordable, at $1 to $3 per square foot, and can also last upward of 100 years.

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?

Asphalt and tarmac are not the same thing. Traditional tarmac, short for tarmacadam, uses tar as a binder to hold crushed stone together. Asphalt uses bitumen—a byproduct of crude oil—to bind aggregate. Though tarmac was once a go-to for roads, asphalt has become the modern standard. And these days, most surfaces referred to as “tarmac” are actually asphalt. So, while the names may overlap, the key distinction lies in the binder—tar for tarmac and bitumen for asphalt.

Like all driveway materials, asphalt can crack in the wrong conditions and with age. Many things can cause asphalt to crack, including shifting soil or settling under the foundation. Other common causes are driving oversized vehicles on the asphalt, tree roots, and using rock salt during the snowy season. Proper installation and sealing the driveway every 10 years can help prevent cracks.

An asphalt driveway should be at least 3 inches thick over a compacted gravel base. Areas with poor drainage should have a thicker stone base. To install a new asphalt driveway over an existing driveway, the new asphalt should be at least 2 inches thick and the existing driveway should be in relatively good condition.
