He kept in constant contact with us (as the weather dictated when the driveway could be installed.) and showed up on-time. Not only did he call and arrange the Gravel Company's delivery of the gravel to our property - he didn't up-charge or make any money on this as we paid the Gravel co directly. Max's fees for the grading etc., were very good and he did an EXCELLENT job. ALSO: A Paving company that we called for a quote (also listed on Angie's List) quoted us over $2800. Another Landscaping company that we called quoted $2550.

I called Barbares' and Eric came out the next day and measured and gave me an estimate on the spot. Although I had to wait 6 weeks it was well worth the wait. It took 3 days to complete (one just to remove the old concrete and two to pour) - not to mention all the tree roots that they removed along the entire length of the driveway. The attention to detail is fantastic - I have received so many compliments on a driveway no less. Must mention a surprise I received. Although it was not discussed during the estimate,(that I can recall) Eric had included in the price a new walkway to the front steps. He said that he had included it in the price as he couldn't give me a new driveway and have an old, dirty and slightly cracked walkway attached to it. I know from the other estimates I received it would have cost me a lot of "extra" money. I can honestly say that I received more than I bargained for. Eric and his crew arrived by 7:30 every morning and worked so hard I was exhausted watching them. If I could give them an A+ I would and do give them my hightest recommendation especially for all the attention they gave to my project.

Don Doucette of Metro Paving was one of three paving contractors that I had called for estimates. The other two companies gave similar styled estimates; remove existing asphalt and related debris, widen driveway to 21', install and roll 4and quot; of gravel, 1 1/2and quot; binder and 1 1/2and quot; of finish top and power roll. There were a few reasons why I chose Don Doucette of Metro Paving. 1) he was the only one that recognized the grading issue and stated that he was going to put as much gravel in as needed to properly grade the driveway...not limiting to the standard 4and quot; response. They ended up putting 70 tons of gravel down. 2) his company has the most positive reviews, with several in 2013...recent positive experiences. Don's estimate was not the lowest bid, his was the same as one other contractor, and one came in $800 less. The one that was $800 leass didn't have any recent reviews (within a year). I felt his firm was my best chance for a quality result. As it turned out, my decision was right-on. What I had done the night before was to show an approximate outline of where I wanted the widened driveway borders to be with clothes line rope. That saved a lot of time when they got there. They took that and made the exact measurements from there. They removed the old asphalt and grass, started in with the gravel packing, spreading it out until the grade was right, and rolled it. Then came the binder course of asphalt, installed and rolled, and then the finish top course of asphalt installed and rolled, to include putting a slight buildup at the street to prevent rain water running down the hill and into the driveway and yard, and sealed that with an emulsion at the street. They were done, cleaned up and equipment removed by 6PM, started at 7AM, with a new 1900 square foot drive way installed. He said to stay off of it for 3 days to let it set, which we did. We are very pleased with the result. Don Doucette and his crew knew their craft and applied it professionally. I would use them again if I had an asphalt paving project.

"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!"

"In October of 2024 Shane came out to give me a quote for yard clean up. After several calls by me, I finally got a start date. Shane called me and said they could start a day early and I was fine with that but they showed up at 5:30pm. I was told they would start at noon. The next day (actual start date) they showed up at 7:30pm and were there for a half hour and left because getting dark. I was told they would be there the next day at 9am. At 10:30am I called Shane asking where the crew was. He actually argued with me telling me they were there. So apparently I was blind. They showed up after 11am and they finished while I was out. Only half the job was done. I emailed all photos of areas not done with pic of contract for those areas quoted. In no way did Shane reach out to see if everything was done. I had to hire another company to finish what they did not do. When I got the bill, I reached out to Shane and said we need to revisit this bill because not everything done. He offered a $150 discount (via Sara's email) which was laughable and said "if ok we will send a new invoice". I sent an email back saying $150 is not acceptable and got no response. No response for 5 months! I got an email 5 months later saying my bill was delinquent but they cut the bill in half. I never received new invoice that showed bill was cut in half till 5 months after my last contact with them. They are not trustworthy and play games. If I could give a zero, I would."

FAQs for gravel driveway repair projects in Garner, 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.
