"Luis was chosen from 11 contractors, since he involved the County Inspector and provided a written warranty. The final price was phenomenal for the job.....garage floor, driveway and walkways replaced, as well as extensive grading and landscaping. I am not hesitant to state everything looks so much better than work completed by the original contractor years ago....a ton of compliments from the neighbors. The before and after is amazing. He was timely, communicated well, and he and his crew(s) kept the work area tidy throughout the approximate 40 day process.....rain delays included. I would not hesitate to hire him again!"

"I can’t say enough good things about Premier Construction Company! They just installed my new asphalt driveway, and I am beyond pleased with the results. From the very beginning, they were professional, honest, and easy to work with. They answered all of my questions, kept me informed throughout the project, and made the entire process stress-free. Their pricing was fair and competitive, and I really appreciated that they accepted credit cards, which made the payment process simple and convenient. The crew worked hard, paid attention to every detail, and treated my property with respect. They arrived on time, completed the job efficiently, and cleaned everything up before they left. The finished driveway looks beautiful, and the quality of their workmanship really shows. It’s refreshing to find a company that truly takes pride in what they do. I would absolutely recommend Premier Construction Company to anyone looking for quality asphalt work. Thank you for doing such an outstandin"

Paving Services questions, answered by experts

While water-related pressure caused by poor drainage is one common cause of paver cracking, other factors can include ground movement beneath pavers, heavy loads and wear and tear over the pavers, and climates with constant freeze-thaw cycles. In general, pavers should be resealed every three to five years to prevent cracking.

A driveway's lifespan varies by material. Asphalt driveways typically last 15 to 30 years, while concrete driveways last longer, between 20 and 50 years. The longevity of any driveway is affected by factors like extreme temperatures, heavy traffic, and the quality of maintenance. Regular upkeep, such as filling cracks, resealing the surface, and ensuring proper drainage, can help extend its life. For gravel driveways, regrading to fill in uneven areas every year or two is recommended.

When asphalt cures, it typically changes from a very dark black hue to a lighter, more matte gray color. Cured asphalt also won’t be tacky or sticky to the touch or emit any odors from the asphalt mix. Additionally, the surface of fully cured asphalt won’t deform under any pressure.

An ideal driveway gradient is between 2% and 5%. Anything lower than 1% or higher than 15% can cause problems for your car or property. A driveway with less than a 1% slope increases your likelihood of flooding and water damage, while a driveway with a 15% grade or higher can be too steep for safe traveling.

You’ll first need to install a base underneath your pavers for extra stability and drainage. Otherwise, the pavers can sink into the ground, and you’ll have to reinstall them. Use a base gravel layer of 4 to 6 inches for walkways and 10 to 12 inches for driveways. Compact your gravel layer every 2 to 4 inches so it’s nice and solid. After you install your gravel base, apply a 1-inch layer of sand on top.
