"Kali did an excellent job on our new driveway. Troy was so helpful in providing ideas and advice and was always available for questions. A great hands on team, we couldn't be more happy with our new driveway!"
"We needed a new driveway as our old one was chipped and cracked in so many places and water was seeping into our basement after each heavy rainstorm. Crosstown Concrete came out and dug up our old cement driveway and poured a new one with new steps for our side entrance. We were so impressed by the knowledge, professionalism and courtesy of Greg's entire team. They were AMAZING! They worked tirelessly for days in the heat until the job was completed. His employees are the hardest working crew around! Our new driveway looks incredible and adds so much to our curb appeal. I will absolutely hire his team again for future work. I can't say enough great things about them!"
"Brady and his crew did a fantastic job! We love our new driveway and will definitely be calling him again for more concrete work. Highly recommend Brady’s Concrete and Construction!"
"My driveway was so broken up & water was running to my house & down basement wall. The replaced all concrete & got it away from my house & down toward the street. Alfredo went the extra mile for me. All the men were courteous, & knowledgeable. He cleaned up the areas afterward & made sure I was satisfied with the results. It will be so nice having a smooth driveway to my garage instead of endless broken concrete & holes. Plus, rain will no longer be running into my basement. He was more affordable than the other quotes I received & saved me so much money with great results. Thank you Alfredo Bravo."
"They came out to review what we had talked about. They had solutions to our problems with our steps, walkway and general landscape areas in front and back of the house.
We like the ideas, but some parts were a bit more them we could afford at this time. The estimate included a paver sidewalk instead of cement. They presented an $11,900 plan for new steps, new walkway, removal and replacement of scrubs in front and in back of the house. Also included was a 20x20 foot cement replacement of part of the driveway. About $1500 of this was for future work in the back of the house. The owner provided a printed layout plan of his ideas.
The company does a lot of work with paver walkways and we were looking more for a combination of cement with paver trim. Cement work is done by a sub-contractor.
The company was good in following up on us with out making us feel pressured. After 2 months, we decided to scale down our needs and look for ways to do the project in small pieces over the next two years. We have done nothing since.
If a paver look is what a person wants, this is a company to be considered. They knew the product and had the experience."
"Job went extremely smoothly. Sue in the office was a great communicator and Shane and his crew did an outstanding job. I am very happy with the quality of materials used, time it took to complete the job and most importantly how well the driveway turned out. I will be calling them back for a patio next Spring!"
It takes recycled asphalt 48 hours to initially harden and up to 3 months to fully cure. It’s best to stay off of recycled asphalt for at least 48 hours, then you can walk or drive standard vehicles on it. Hold off on driving heavy trucks or equipment on it for at least 7 days. Allowing the surface to melt together and harden ensures that the surface stays durable and long-lasting.
A driveway approach is the part of a driveway where the public road meets the private driveway. This section contains several key elements, including the driveway apron, the curb cut, and the end slope. Depending on the slope of the driveway, this area may also contain the trench drain.
When hiring an asphalt paving contractor to install your driveway, ask as many questions up front as possible. Here are a few questions to ask a prospective driveway contractor:
How many years of experience do you have?
Are you licensed, bonded, and insured?
Do you have worker’s compensation?
Do you use subcontractors on your projects?
Do you clean up after the job is done?
Who is responsible for any damage to lawn or landscaping?
Do you provide a guarantee or warranty on your work?
Do you give free estimates?
What is the timeline for completion?
How do you handle change orders?
Can you provide at least three references?
Can I see some of the work you’ve done?
The driveway apron is a technical term referring to where a private driveway meets the public street. If there is a sidewalk in front of the house, the driveway apron is typically on the opposite side of the public sidewalk from the driveway itself.
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.
