"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."
"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. "
"Before I made my selection to go with Genadek Landscaping I did my homework! I met with 6 different Landscapers, got estimates, read Angie's List Reviews, checked with the BBB. The reason for this is my particular project was difficult. I needed to replace a retaining wall that was about to fall down and hit my house. It was about 3 feet from house and 4 feet tall (so you do the math). Problem is that the retaining wall was holding back my neighbor's hill so I needed a Landscaper AND an Excavator. Enter Stan Genadek. From the moment I met with Stan Genadek I could tell that he and his team were different. Not only were they landscapers that understood soil dynamics, but they were also an excavators and could remove my retaining wall and build a new one the right way without damage to my house or my neighbor's hill. Also, they were able to do other things (example - remove my old window wells and put in new ones) whereas some other landscaping companies weren't comfortable doing all the work I wanted done. Also, I found Stan to be really pleasant to work with and could ask him any questions I had. Stan even game me some terrific additional ideas for my yard that I ended up using. Overall, comparing estimates I found Genadek Landscaping to be about middle of the road (in terms of price) they weren't the most expensive or the cheapest. But really seemed to have the expertise, so I booked my job in end of July and put my $100 down to reserve my place in line. I was told that the project would be about 10-12 weeks out due to how busy they get. So here's a warning, book EARLY!!! But it's definitely worth the wait, the work is top notch! The project started around the end of September and took about 3 weeks. The foreman's name was Mike and there was a 3 man crew. I was immediately impressed with the work! Very professional, great attitude, and daily check-ins and updates to let me know what was going on. I got all my questions answered on a daily basis and the crew cleaned up after themselves each day. I was really impressed with the work and could see that Mike and his crew truly cared about my house and my project and wanted it to be great. Mike would even take me aside with just random pieces of advice and comments about things I could do for maintenance and upkeep with my landscaping after they left (just as a courtesy). Once the project was completed we did a final walkthrough and went over every small detail before handing over my final check. I was very satisfied! I've already received a number of compliments from friends and neighbors on the work and will go back to Genadek landscaping in a heartbeat for any future jobs. Also, I have to say Stan was great to work with on the business-side of things throughout the process as well. I had Stan's email and cell number and whenever I left a message I'd get a quick response back and he was always pleasant to work with. Overall, I'm very happy and can't say enough great things about this company!"
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.
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.
Common alternatives to a gravel driveway include concrete, asphalt, brick, stone pavers, and permeable pavers. Concrete and asphalt are generally the most affordable options. However, concrete can be prone to cracking in cold climates, while asphalt may soften in areas with high heat and direct sun exposure. For enhanced curb appeal, brick, stone, and permeable pavers are popular choices, though their installation can be more expensive due to intricate designs. Stone pavers offer a natural look and are sometimes installed with gravel around them. Both permeable pavers and brick driveways provide excellent drainage, which helps prevent flooding and reduce water runoff.
To ensure you hire a reliable and experienced paving company, you should start by finding companies in your area that have at least five to ten years of experience working in your neighborhood. Next, rule out companies with poor reviews online or a series of complaints filed with the Better Business Bureau. Since driveways affect your curb appeal, you should also ask each company for references and pictures of recent work to make sure the work the company does is professional and high quality. Finally, check that the company is licensed and insured.
The decision to repair or replace your driveway depends on the extent of the damage. If your driveway has a few small cracks, a simple repair will do the trick. If you see larger cracks and potholes, it may be time to consider resurfacing or replacement. Resurfacing is a great option if more than 25% of the surface is damaged, but if the damage is extensive—deep cracks or significant sinking—it’s best to replace the driveway entirely. A new driveway, with proper care, can last decades while patching or resurfacing might only hold up for a few years before needing more attention.
