"Zack, the owner, and his crews are incredible! I have a very steep driveway and hillside at the front of my WNC mountain home. They repaired a badly damaged wood retaining wall then properly excavated, provided drainage, backfilled and secured new posts with deadman anchoring. This is my third project using ZR Landscaping. They are always on time, professional, courteous, hard working, reliable and provide a great project outcome at a fair price. I highly recommend ZR Landscaping!"

"Pat, Jim, and his team were a pleasure to work with. Jim designed our space and designed it with all of the features we wanted. Each work day, they arrived to the job site on time and worked **** ** our job. After the job was completed, Jim came by our home to check the patio after it had rained to make sure there weren't any spots that needed to be fixed. We never had any issues during the construction and would strongly recommend them to everyone. They stand behind their work and do a great job."

"We recently purchased a home on lake lure and knew substantial repairs were needed on the walkway down to the dock and on the deck above the boathouse. After several failed attempts to get a contractor, we received a call from Jesse Summerlin. He quickly came to our home and did a thorough evaluation of our walkway and deck. Jesse then reviewed what he found and made his recommendations. He was able to quickly get our project scheduled and started. A few adjustments had to be made but that is to be expected with the size of the project. All extra work was reviewed with us before proceeding. The work was done to a very high level and in a timely manner, even with many rainy days. We would highly recommend Summerlin Exterior Solutions. Jesse was probably the best contractor I have dealt with. A"

"An amazing job restoring our stone patio. When the repair became much more involved than what was first thought, a revised plan was worked out with great results. Very knowledgeable and professional."

"I contacted Angie’s list on a Saturday and Sunday morning he arrived with his crew. He designed a waterfall and pond in my yard that desperately needed help. The price was reasonable and included all the supplies. He was very friendly and I am VERY pleased with the outcome. Thanks so much! I highly recommend and would hire him again for landscaping."

Asphalt Driveways questions, answered by experts

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.

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 answer to whether or not you need to get a permit before you start your driveway can vary widely based on local ordinances and the scope of your driveway ideas. In most urban and suburban areas, a permit is needed before building a new driveway to ensure that a homeowner is using safe materials and proper drainage practices while designing and constructing a new driveway. In some rural areas, a homeowner may not be required to apply for a permit. When building a new driveway on your own, always check with your local building department to see if you need to request a permit. When hiring a driveway contractor, verify that the right permits are being used before driveway construction begins.

Since it has a smoother surface using a mixture of finer rock and sand, 41A tends to be the best asphalt grade for a driveway, especially for residential driveways. Other options are available, but more homeowners choose 41A for a smoother asphalt driveway. Talk with your asphalt driveway professional for recommendations of the best grade for your specific driveway.

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.
