"Great job by Holliday Concrete. They communicated throughout the project, which was to replace the garage floor, driveway, front steps and sidewalk leading up. Great work, very professional. Clean up at the end was great as well."
"Our driveway needed to be paved. They showed up on time and did a really nice job. We are pleased with the results. We would recommend them for sure."
"Dan and his crew did an excellent job in making a driveway extension along with replacing most of the current driveway. He was prompt and honest and very friendly. Everything was completed as he said it would be in the time frame he had set up. The area was cleaned up prior to his leaving. I would recommend Dan for concrete work anytime. I am so pleased with everything he did."
"I had a great experience with general asphalt! My driveway was a unleveled mess and now it's beautiful! I wish I would have taken a before/after picture just to show what an amazing job they did. I highly recommend this company"
"I recently had installed a hot-mix asphalt surface on my driveway. It encompassed approximately 550 feet in length. A good portion of that footage was a single 11-foot lane, but as it approached my home there is a circle drive with a landscaped area and differing widths of paving was needed, which required some rather intricate work. Also, part of the job encompassed paving up to the concrete area in front of my 3 car garage and to the sidewalk leading to the front of our home. Nelson Boswell and his crew of professional staff did an outstanding job of researching exactly what I was looking for, developed a plan for manicuring the existing gravel drive base, and applying the asphalt surface. They were extremely courteous, attentive to my needs above everything else, and did what they said they were going to do. They also were able to complete the whole project in a span of two days. At the end of the project, I thoroughly inspected the work, and do not have a single complaint. In fact, I would readily recommend them to anyone! Oh, and one other thing: they were very cognizant of my lawn and landscaping, going above and beyond to make sure nothing was disturbed."
"The completed project is great. KC Concrete kept us up to date on the progress all along. They did everything in the contract and more at the price agreed to. Their workers were friendly and polite. They cleaned up everyday after they worked."
"We were so happy with the customer service, work that was done and the price. David was great to work with and did a beautiful job on our retaining wall and our concrete path way."
"Derrie and his crew did a fantastic job! They worked in to the evening, and cleaned up every evening before they leaved the site. Their customer service and work ethic was great. The craftsmanship and pricing was tip top, and they blew our other price quotes out of the water. I would recommend them to any friend or family member looking for quality concrete work."
No. In spite of its identical chemical makeup, sodium bicarbonate manufactured for blasting purposes has a particular type and size of particles that differs from grocery store baking soda. In addition, this method would not be cost effective because you would need several boxes of baking soda to equal one blast-sized bag of medium.
Overall, a paver driveway is considered the easiest to maintain because homeowners are able to do driveway repair one piece at a time without impacting the rest of the driveway. Unlike paved options, paver driveways contain individual stones that aren't physically connected. By comparison, you may need to reseal or redo a full asphalt driveway if just one portion sustains a significant crack.
You can hire a landscaper to clean up your asphalt driveway or make minor repairs. You can also hire a company that specializes in asphalt driveway installation and repair. For cleaning jobs, most landscapers charge by the hour. Pressure washing a driveway costs between $100 to $350, but spot treatments and refilling damaged asphalt will cost extra.
You can whiten concrete for unsealed and unfinished concrete with a solution or either muriatic acid or bleach and water—but never both. However, if your concrete does have a stain, finish, or polish, keep in mind that these hard chemicals could damage the topcoat. Your best bet otherwise is to power wash outdoor concrete slabs or clean indoor ones with a gentle cleaner such as laundry or dish detergent.
Yes, you can remove oil stains from your driveway by applying an absorbent material such as baking soda, sawdust, or cat litter, pouring on a liquid detergent such as dish soap, scrubbing the area, and rinsing with water. You can also use a diluted bleach solution, white vinegar, or TSP solution on concrete.
