"Overall it went very well. About one week delay between start of project and completion. However, the delay was due to the wet weather this spring and no relection on the provider.
Our sideway had heaved and needed to be replaced for safety reasons. Chis suggested pavers, and very satisfied with the results of both the walkway pavers, and patio area.
Also accepted Chris's suggestion of adding paver veneer to the front stoop. Doing so added height to the stoop, requiring a step to be added. Chris provided this at no extra cost as it wasn't included in the estimate.

Customers say: Quality work

"Frank was very knowledgeable and up front throughout the entire process. While I was obtaining other bids, a different contractor gave me conflicting information and tried to use high pressure sales tactics. I called Frank and he took the time to explain everything up front. It was very clear that he not only knows his business, but he works hard to make sure his customers are satisfied. When the workers came out, they were courteous and hard working. They did the entire rip out, added and fixed the base, and paved the new driveway within one day. Everything looks great."

"Friendly service from the very beginning. Prompt and professional. Our gardens needed a lot of work- Paul and crew weeded, trimmed and mulched our entire yard. They removed a large section of raised beds and laid sod to replace the beds and weeds. They replaced a class 5 area behind our garage. We have a large yard- 212 feet deep and they finished the job in less than 2 days.
Beautiful results!

"I had a big concern because water was coming in from the asphalt driveway erosion next to my garage. John and Jerry company is the only ones who offered to help with the drainage and help prevent more water coming in to my lower level in feb. Jerry worked very hard to stop the water leakage during the winter when it was not yet time to work on the asphalt and put in a concrete apron. Now in the spring at the end of April they came out and added filling and repair to the damaged area which included part of my garage floor. There was so much more detail that I probably won't get right to fill in here but at the end I have a nice level area with a beautiful concrete apron that just doesn't seem like it could be any nicer or more perfect. I appreciate very much how the communication went and the quality of the work. They also put in the best product upgrade as Jerry explained. I was corrected about how I had over paid and told a lesser amount to make out my final check for."

Paving Services questions, answered by experts

Pavers are a type of permeable hardscape that can be used for driveways, patios, walkways, and other landscaping features. Unlike poured concrete or asphalt, pavers typically have a layer of gravel underneath to prevent water runoff from damaging your property—though you can also lay pavers on grass. Because pavers are installed piece by piece, you can customize a one-of-a-kind hardscape that best suits your aesthetics, boosting your curb appeal along the way.

While blacktop is a type of asphalt, the terms should not be used interchangeably, as not all asphalt qualifies as blacktop. The primary differences are in their composition, production process, and ideal applications. Blacktop contains more stone than other types of asphalt and is heated to a higher temperature during production—300°F or more—while hot-mix asphalt is heated to between 275°F and 300°F. The ratio of bitumen (a tar-like crude oil) is a key differentiator, though sources vary: some state blacktop has less bitumen, making it less durable, while others claim it has a higher ratio. Due to these differences, asphalt is generally more durable and better for high-traffic areas like highways and streets, while blacktop is more suitable for playgrounds and residential driveways. For a driveway project, it is best to consult a professional to determine the most appropriate material.

Recycled asphalt is a durable choice for a driveway, but doesn’t have the same appearance and low maintenance as standard asphalt. For long driveways in rural communities, recycled asphalt can make a great choice. Recycled asphalt is 20% to 30% percent less expensive than standard asphalt and is better for the environment. 

The layer of polymeric sand under the pavers plus the polymeric sand that gets swept into the joints between your pavers holds them in place in a few ways. For one, the gritty texture of the sand helps lock the pavers together. Polymeric sand also contains bonding agents that get activated by water. Polymeric sand will take between 24 and 48 hours to fully cure, so do not walk on your paver walkway before this time.

Yes, it is possible to pave over an existing driveway, but whether it's the right choice depends on several factors. If the underlying structure of your current driveway is still strong, concrete or asphalt resurfacing can be a cost-effective way to prolong its life. However, if your driveway has significant issues like potholes, deep cracks, or other inconsistencies, it is best to remove the old driveway and start from scratch. Key factors to consider include the current driveway's condition, the compatibility of the new material, the added thickness and height, and the necessary surface preparation.
