"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!!"

"Blacktop Central is a company with which I have no beef. Curtains were drawn as the driveway crew is quite easy on the eyes. Blacktop Central arrived on the job in a timely fashion. The hard-working team tore out the asphalt driveway in front of my three car garage. They laid down a new base layer and put down asphalt all in one day. Blacktop Central even removed all of the old asphalt. At the end of the day, I had a beautiful new driveway at an affordable price. One year later, my driveway still looks brand new. Hats off to Blacktop Central. They are a five star company in my book."

"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."

"Year 1: Removed ancient driveway and put in steps and sidewalk with pavers then landscaper around the house Year 2: Removed the mess left from killing invasive plants and put in sod and landscaping in a 45x20 ft area. I was very happy with the results for both years. They were a good company to work with both years."

Asphalt Driveways questions, answered by experts

The average cost of 1,500 square feet of asphalt ranges from about $10,500 to $22,500, depending on location, thickness, base material, and how accessible the job site is to crews and equipment. Keep in mind that your asphalt material cost may vary depending on its type, ranging from porous asphalt to heated blacktop. Standard asphalt costs $7 to $13 per square foot.

When comparing installation costs, asphalt is often less expensive upfront than concrete. Asphalt prices typically range from $7 to $15 per square foot, while concrete can range from $3 to $18 per square foot. However, long-term costs should also be considered. Concrete driveways generally last longer (up to twice as long) and require less maintenance, which can make them more affordable over their lifespan. While asphalt has a lower installation cost and is easier to repair, it requires more frequent maintenance, such as sealing, which can add up over time. Therefore, while concrete is more expensive initially, its durability may offset the cost in the long run.

The dimensions of a driveway apron vary based on local building codes, the width of your driveway, and the distance between the driveway and the road. On average, aprons range from 12 to 24 feet wide and 8 to 18 feet long. Typically, the end of the apron connected to the driveway matches its width—such as 10 to 12 feet for a single-car driveway—while the end at the street flares out to allow cars to turn in and out more easily. In some areas, you may not be responsible for the portion of the apron that extends beyond the sidewalk, but this depends on local laws.

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.

Recycled asphalt is not better than gravel, but can be a good alternative. It is inexpensive, but not as low-cost as gravel, and doesn’t tend to last as long. Recycled asphalt isn’t as dusty as gravel and is more environmentally friendly. The black look can be something that homeowners prefer. No matter what, ensure you choose an experienced recycled asphalt contractor.
