"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."

"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

Compared to a 10x20 concrete driveway costing between $800 and $3,000, a resin bound driveway of the same size costing $3,900 to $4,000 is the more expensive option. However, the cost still makes resin a cheaper option compared to a 10x20 paver driveway costing an average of $12,000.

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.

The average cost to repair an asphalt driveway is around $2,459 to $2,500. However, prices can range from $100 for minor DIY crack filling to over $4,000 for more extensive professional work. Costs are often calculated per foot, with minor repairs costing $1 to $3 per linear foot and heavier damage like potholes, sinking, or crumbling costing $2 to $5 per linear foot. Patching smaller potholes can cost around $2 to $3 per square foot. The final price depends on the severity and extent of the damage, driveway design, local contractor rates, and whether sealing is included. For major repairs, it is recommended to hire a professional, and you may get a better deal by bundling repair and sealing services together.

An asphalt driveway should be at least 3 inches thick over a compacted gravel base. Areas with poor drainage should have a thicker stone base. To install a new asphalt driveway over an existing driveway, the new asphalt should be at least 2 inches thick and the existing driveway should be in relatively good condition.

Although you could try to lay stepping stones directly over grass, which speeds up the installation process significantly, this method often leads to a poor result over time. Even heavy paver stones will eventually slide or shift on top of the grass. Digging into the ground and following the steps we listed is the best way to lay stepping stones for a long-lasting result.
