"We hired Diamond Ridge Builders to construct a 5-ft. fence around our garden to keep our giant dog out of it. Within 5 minutes of requesting a quote via HomeAdvisor, the team at Diamond Ridge reached out to begin gathering information to help them price out options. Blake and his team visited our home as scheduled very shortly after to survey the site and confirm the plan of work. Within 2 business days, the job was complete and we couldn't be happier with the final product. We're really grateful that Diamond Ridge Builders had the availability and interest in constructing this fence for our family, and we feel confident this project is indicative of their high quality of work and commitment to excellence for their customers. I highly recommend this company for its workmanship, its excellent customer service and its turnaround time in completing our project. We'll definitely be hiring Diamond Ridge Builders in the future. Thanks to Blake and team for a job well done!"

Asphalt Driveways questions, answered by experts

Driveway aprons typically range between four and seven inches thick, though your town's building codes will likely have specific requirements. Additionally, you may need to add a layer of permeable aggregate in the excavation below your paved apron to ensure proper stormwater drainage.

Chip seal layers gravel and a liquid bitumen one at a time on-site, while asphalt directly pours a pre-combined mixture. Asphalt must be sealed, but it will last up to four times as long as chip seal driveways. Aesthetically, chip seal has a natural, rustic look compared to the traditional asphalt slab.

Common alternatives to a gravel driveway include concrete, asphalt, brick, stone pavers, and permeable pavers. Concrete and asphalt are generally the most affordable options. However, concrete can be prone to cracking in cold climates, while asphalt may soften in areas with high heat and direct sun exposure. For enhanced curb appeal, brick, stone, and permeable pavers are popular choices, though their installation can be more expensive due to intricate designs. Stone pavers offer a natural look and are sometimes installed with gravel around them. Both permeable pavers and brick driveways provide excellent drainage, which helps prevent flooding and reduce water runoff.

Building a road on a slope requires careful planning and will normally require a drainage system underneath to prevent flooding and damage to the road over time. Your professional may lengthen your road to create switchbacks if the slope directly to your home is too steep, as there are regulations for maximum road slope. The drainage system will help prevent runoff from the higher side of the slope from damaging the asphalt or concrete. Keep in mind that building a road on a slope isn’t a good DIY project, as a lot can go wrong.

Yes, you can retrofit an existing driveway, but this usually involves cutting grooves into the driveway, installing the heating elements, then sealing them. While this is much less expensive than typical heated driveway systems, the final appearance could be diminished. Speak with a driveway paving company to confirm which design method is best for you.
