"Jim Young was prompt, professional, personable and thorough. His crew did a great job, showed up when scheduled, completed the drive paving efficiently, and answered questions even after the job was completed, taking care to fix a minor oversight. I can highly recommend JY and would without hesitation use them again!"

"Chris did an excellent job! I got many different quotes through companies from Google and HomeAdvisor but felt Chris could do the job the best. He took out an old walkway, built a new walkway down a different area in my front yard then added a new retaining wall and granite steps from my driveway to my front door. He also put in a circle kit near my front door and put in a granite mailbox post. Everything came out perfect! Chris is a very hard worker, great communicator and I am very satisfied with the work he did. I would hire him again!"

"Cooper and his friends did some spring clean up, fall clean up, and mowed every week or two for the 2025 season. He seemed knowledgeable and he worked diligently. The prior homeowner left the landscape a mess, but these folks did their best to make it look as nice as they could. They would even take extra effort to trim off some vegetation from my walkway and other areas occasionally for example. Since 2025, I believe his father took over although it seems Cooper is still helping out."

"Ken and Rowan are a pleasure to work with and we could not be happier with the work they did for us. They took a very large, pea stone patio area from sad to amazing by adding curbing along three sides (to separate the pea stone area from the lawn and driveway), refreshed the pea stone in between pavers on our long walkway, and we able to smartly cover up some ugly yard drainage while allowing it to still function properly. Our project was a bit unusual but they had the expertise (and enthusiasm!) to help us figure it out. They spent many hours beforehand problem solving and planning out the project with us. Ken communicated with us throughout all the materials purchases and both Ken and Rowan were very responsive to all our requests. On top of that, they got the project done within a tight timeframe as we had a deadline. We gained so much confidence in them that we have 3 more large projects (large retaining wall, walkways, and a drainage area along our driveway) that we plan to hire them for!"

Asphalt Driveways questions, answered by experts

Think of the street as a way to capture all the elements on either side of the road, including the road—a street encompasses the homes or other buildings, the trees, and the road of a given area as defined by the beginning and end of the street on a map. A roadway, however, is the component of the street where cars travel.

Driveways should be sloped with a minimum 2% slope—anything lower will cause precipitation and runoff to collect. A 2% slope is the equivalent of a 2-foot rise over 100 feet. One quick way to check the integrity of your driveway’s slope: no more than four inches of water should collect on the surface longer than 15 minutes after rain.

Gravel is the most economical and least expensive driveway material, costing between $1 and $3 per square foot. This is significantly cheaper than alternatives like asphalt or concrete. However, it's important to consider long-term costs, as gravel driveways require regular maintenance. You will likely need to add new gravel filling once or twice a year and regularly rake it to keep it level, which can add to the overall cost over time.

Like all driveway materials, asphalt can crack in the wrong conditions and with age. Many things can cause asphalt to crack, including shifting soil or settling under the foundation. Other common causes are driving oversized vehicles on the asphalt, tree roots, and using rock salt during the snowy season. Proper installation and sealing the driveway every 10 years can help prevent cracks.

Three inches is a great thickness for a residential asphalt driveway that sees minimal to moderate traffic from cars, SUVs, and pickup trucks. However, a thicker driveway can better withstand the weight of a heavier vehicle, such as a trailer or a recreational vehicle. If you drive a heavy vehicle on a thin driveway, you risk cracking and damaging it.
