"Excellent Service from Clark Company. ​I was so impressed with the service I received from Clark Company. The entire process, from getting a quote to the final pickup, was incredibly smooth. ​The dumpster was delivered exactly when they said it would be, and the driver was friendly and professional. I appreciated how they took care to place it exactly where I needed it without damaging my property. The pickup was just as easy. ​The dumpster itself was clean and in great condition. The pricing was also very competitive, which was a huge plus. I will definitely be using Clark Company again for my next project and highly recommend them to anyone needing reliable dumpster rental service."

"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."

"Kyle Lassonde gave us a very fair price, was clear about the steps and timing for regrading our gravel driveway, and followed through with timely professional work. I definitely recommend him and Lassonde Excavating."

"My job was actually to have a stamped concrete patio installed. Overall, they did an awesome job! They were able to complete the job about a week prior to what they'd estimated, they arrived when they said they would, and completed the job within the time they said. They were very careful about placing plastic on the driveway and took care in ensuring they did as a little invasion to the area as possible. They were professional, friendly and easy to work with, and the finished product is absolutely beautiful. I LOVE IT! Every time I walk out and see it I love it more! Their customer service prior and subsequent to the job has been excellent. I'd recommend Custom Construction Services to anyone looking to have a patio installed."

"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."

"I had a retaining wall done by Outdoor Aesthetix, and I couldn’t be happier with the work! It’s been two winters now, and it still looks just as solid and perfect as the day it was finished. The team was super diligent, paid attention to every detail, and made the whole process easy. Plus, they were really professionals always up for a chat while getting the job done right. Even when I needed to reach out afterward, it was no hassle at all. If you’re looking for quality work and great service, I highly recommend them!"

Paving Services FAQs, answered by experts

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.

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.

When asphalt cures, it typically changes from a very dark black hue to a lighter, more matte gray color. Cured asphalt also won’t be tacky or sticky to the touch or emit any odors from the asphalt mix. Additionally, the surface of fully cured asphalt won’t deform under any pressure.

Paving is a part of hardscaping, so all paving is hardscaping, but not all hardscaping is paving. Paving involves laying down concrete or asphalt, while hardscaping can also include the use of paving stones, bricks, gravel, wood, and more. Hardscape features that involve paving are considered permanent and will increase your property taxes, while some other hardscaping features—like those involving bricks, gravel, and paving stones—will not affect property taxes. Paving also typically requires a permit, while hardscaping features considered temporary will not.

A 500-square-foot driveway can cost anywhere from $5,000 to $35,000, depending on the type of pavers you choose. Grass and concrete pavers are more affordable, while stone and cobblestone pavers are on the higher end of that price range. You’ll save some money by DIYing the installation, though we highly recommend sticking with a professional for this type of driveway installation.
