Justin proposed a plan that we were good with. The biggest surprise was that the plan changed - and I was not aware - so I was surprised when it was completed in such a way that did not match the expected plan. But it has worked well, draining the water, which was the goal. The work was done exactly when expected and did not take too long to complete. We did have to purchase additional rock, which was also not part of the initial plan, and that was a separate transaction - early on we did not think more rock was needed. We were so happy with Justin's work that we've had him come out since and smooth the driveway again (as I said earlier, it is a constant challenge - the UPS and FedEx trucks brake on the hill and it makes a mess). Justin is responsive, easy to work with, and reasonable. We would definitely use S&S Landscape And Water Solutions again!

I have a long driveway, along with a separate short secondary parking strip area. It hadn't been maintained in years and had large cracks and actual holes where the asphalt had crumbled away in spots. I had obtained a few estimates and found while Jeff's wasn't the lowest, he was the only one who provided a diagram of the areas where extra work/attention needed done. It gave me a good understanding of what he felt were the priorities in repairing and sealing the driveway.
Jeff did great work - it was a three day effort. He edged the driveway and did the patching first, then came out to apply two coats of sealant. He called each day to provide updates as to progress and what still needed to be done. The end result was great! The driveway looks great, and the edging was completed nicely. About half the driveway is outlined with stone, and there were no issues with splatters or mess.
I appreciated Jeff staying in contact with me throughout this process, as we made minor driveway decisions along the way. He was professional and very easy to talk to. I would definitely use him again should the need arise!

Triangle Landscaping was the only one that could handle all the aspects of the job--and at a reasonable price. Job included breaking up old concrete back patio and back wall, breaking up broken sections of driveway, hauling all this debris away, then pouring a new back patio, putting in a new patio wall, then repouring the driveway. At the end the yard was re-levelled. I had drainage issues with my back patio. Sergei assessed the problem and came up with a total solution. First, the patio needed to be graded away from the house. Next, the gutter downspouts needed to be run under the concrete, rather than dumping the roof runoff onto the patio. Third, Triangle Landscaping added a strip drain in the middle of the patio. Fourth, parts of the yard were re-landscaped to direct the water away from the house. In addition, Triangle Landscaping did a nice job of extending my driveway about 4 ft. and adding a cement walkway where I could store my trash cans out of sight. And the stones for the back patio wall, instead of being placed on the concrete, were put on their own gravel bed. It's been several months since the work was done, and my crawlspace, the soil in which has been damp for over 15 years, has begun to dry for the first time.

It went well - we really liked working with Justin. Our driveway is gravel, and it's steep. It has always been a challenge - we called Justin's company because we thought if he knew how to handle water he could grade the driveway in such a way that it did not rut and wash the gravel away. ...

"We hired Timesavers Landscaping to build a tiered stone edge wall for our front yard flower garden & add sod to the side yard. They finished today & the results are fantastic!! Eric took the time to talk about the design & any potential drainage issues given our sloped grade on one side. With Eric’s input, & a few pictures of what we wanted, we had a clear plan moving forward. The team, Eric, Michael, Tyler & their workers, communicated clearly throughout the process, were professional, easy to work with, and delivered exactly what they promised at a fair price. Their craftsmanship is excellent, and the project went smoothly from start to finish. We did have one issue with the stone. The big box store was selling defective stone so, at the last minute, Eric found different stone. What he found was even better & not that much more expensive. This was all easily resolved within 2 days. I would absolutely hire them again (we have plans for the back yard) and highly recommend their work!"

FAQs for gravel driveway repair projects in Cary, NC
The average cost of a gravel driveway is about $1.25 to $2 per square foot, including the cost of materials, equipment, and professional installation. For example, a 16-by-30-foot driveway costs about $1,500. Cost factors include the type of gravel, how thick the gravel is installed, the condition of the landscape, and labor costs. Overall costs will vary depending on where you live and how accessible the job site is.
Concrete can crack from general wear, improper installation, or in response to uneven support from the soil underneath. Small, thin cracks on the surface of aging concrete are usually a result of normal wear and tear, while cracks on new concrete more likely indicate a problem with installation. Larger cracks or uneven steps can signify a much more severe issue. A concrete contractor should be able to diagnose the cause and repair concrete cracks for you.
The cost to install a concrete driveway is $4 to $15per square foot on average. Your price heavily depends on your desired concrete finish and driveway size.
For a driveway that is 200 square feet, you can expect to pay an average cost of $1,900. For a driveway at double that size (400 square feet), the average price is closer to $3,800. Plain concrete is significantly more cost-effective, averaging $7 per square foot, whereas stained concrete averages around $19 per square foot.
The cost of resurfacing concrete is $6 per square foot on average, though that cost can range from $3 to $9per square foot.
For a driveway that is 200 square feet, you can expect to pay $600 to $1,800, and for a driveway that is 500 square feet, that cost averages $1,500 to $4,500. Resurfacing your driveway will give you the look and feel of a new surface without the hefty cost.
A gravel driveway should be at least 4 to 6 inches deep, depending on the soil it’s installed on. Softer soil that doesn’t drain well should have a deeper gravel driveway. Deeper gravel will mean you spend more on materials and labor, but you’ll get a more stable driveway and avoid damage that needs to be filled or graded flat again.
