"The completed driveway is fabulous! Every step of the driveway installation had an experienced and knowledgeable team of workers with a designated team lead who was also very knowledgeable, regarding the entire project. They were always on schedule, and communicated any variation in the schedule, if weather caused delay. The attitude of ALL the workers was kind, respectful and friendly. We had some minor problems that were dealt with and corrected promptly, with the same kind and respectful attitude. In general they are a company that clearly strives to be a service oriented company, having the highest quality product for a competitive price, and committed to customers being 100% satisfied and happy with the project results. I would never recommend anyone else for a concrete driveway because I am convinced they are the best!"

"We had our driveway ripped out and replaced by Blacktop Central a few years back. They did a stellar job. A few years later, and multiple tenants later, this driveway still looks amazing. It’s clear they didn’t cut any corners and they were awesome to work with! I wish I had more driveways to replace!"

I let them know a month a head of time that I wanted the driveway replaced before a Graduation party we were having at our house. They had no problem working with the timeline that I provided. They showed up, got to work, and finished all in one day. I was a little concerned how they would handle pouring around the retaining wall blocks and it turned out wonderful! The crew was great to have around. Almost two years later the driveway still looks as good as it day they poured it.

"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.

"Came out and gave me a free quote. Calvin kept in contact with me to arrange the best day to get the work done. They came and tore out the old driveway and paved the new driveway the same day. I couldn’t be happier with the final result."

Asphalt Driveways questions, answered by experts

Wet cutting is usually the preferred method. It controls dust, which helps protect your lungs and makes for a cleaner working environment. Plus, the water cools the blade, preventing overheating and prolonging its life while providing smoother, more precise cuts. The downside is the mess—water and asphalt sludge can be messy to clean. Dry cutting, though convenient if water isn’t available, creates a lot of dust, which can be harmful. This also increases the risk of blade damage due to overheating. So, if you have the option, wet cutting is the better method for most asphalt jobs.

The cost to pour a driveway apron depends on the material and size. Concrete costs $3 to $10 per square foot, asphalt ranges from $2 to $5, and pavers are $5 to $15 per square foot. Additional expenses, like excavation, base material, and labor, can increase the total cost. For example, a standard 12x15-foot concrete apron could cost between $540 and $1,800, depending on local rates and additional work required. Always consult a local driveway paving contractor to get an accurate estimate tailored to your project.

DIY is not recommended due to equipment and expertise requirements. Professional services ensure durability and proper grading.

A driveway's lifespan varies by material. Asphalt driveways typically last 15 to 30 years, while concrete driveways last longer, between 20 and 50 years. The longevity of any driveway is affected by factors like extreme temperatures, heavy traffic, and the quality of maintenance. Regular upkeep, such as filling cracks, resealing the surface, and ensuring proper drainage, can help extend its life. For gravel driveways, regrading to fill in uneven areas every year or two is recommended.

Three inches is a great thickness for a residential asphalt driveway that sees minimal to moderate traffic from cars, SUVs, and pickup trucks. However, a thicker driveway can better withstand the weight of a heavier vehicle, such as a trailer or a recreational vehicle. If you drive a heavy vehicle on a thin driveway, you risk cracking and damaging it.
