"Jim came out and gave us a quote and did an excellent installation the same week. He had all the necessary tools to do the job even though my driveway was very long. The finish product was exactly what we had talked about and the price was very fair. I would recommend him for any driveway installations"

Customers say: Quality work

"We had a water problem with water coming into our finished basement after a heavy rain. S.L. Dionne excavated down to the base of the foundation to fill a crack in the foundation, seal the crack, and cause any water coming near the house to run away from the house. Not only did they do the job perfectly, exactly on schedule, they re-landscaped the disturbed area so my front yard now looks better than before."

"We were in a tight time crunch to get patio walls and concrete steps repaired because we were told our pool area ground prep was starting the next day. I listed my project and heard from 3 Brothers Masonry within 20 min. They arrived 2 hours later and gave us a quote. We agreed and they came back and finished the job that same afternoon, as agreed. We appreciated the quick response, the appreciation of our time constraints, and the timely completion of our repair project, as quoted, both in workmanship and price. We highly recommend them!"

""ABSOLUTELY SUPERB" - Ken and Rowen were contracted to install Round River Rock Stone along approximately 180 feet (both sides) of my driveway. Ken promptly answered my request for an estimate.

Asphalt Driveways questions, answered by experts

New asphalt typically needs 24 to 72 hours to dry before it can handle light foot traffic and careful driving. Although it may appear solid after a few days, the full curing process, where the asphalt reaches its peak strength, takes much longer—generally from 30 days to a year.

During this extended curing time, the surface remains relatively soft and can be damaged by heavy vehicles, sharp objects, or high temperatures. To protect your investment, it's best to avoid parking heavy machinery on the asphalt until it has fully cured.

The exact time required for drying and curing depends on several factors, including the weather, the specific asphalt mix, and its thickness. For the most accurate advice tailored to your situation, consult with your asphalt contractor.

While the specific timeline for building a driveway can vary based on driveway length and local weather conditions, the average concrete driveway can require several days to lay down all of the different parts of the driveway. The curing process may require you to avoid using your driveway for a week following construction. Heavier vehicles should be kept off of a new concrete driveway for several weeks. Building a gravel driveway may take just one to two days in total.

When comparing installation costs, asphalt is often less expensive upfront than concrete. Asphalt prices typically range from $7 to $15 per square foot, while concrete can range from $3 to $18 per square foot. However, long-term costs should also be considered. Concrete driveways generally last longer (up to twice as long) and require less maintenance, which can make them more affordable over their lifespan. While asphalt has a lower installation cost and is easier to repair, it requires more frequent maintenance, such as sealing, which can add up over time. Therefore, while concrete is more expensive initially, its durability may offset the cost in the long run.

The decision to repair or replace your driveway depends on the extent of the damage. If your driveway has a few small cracks, a simple repair will do the trick. If you see larger cracks and potholes, it may be time to consider resurfacing or replacement. Resurfacing is a great option if more than 25% of the surface is damaged, but if the damage is extensive—deep cracks or significant sinking—it’s best to replace the driveway entirely. A new driveway, with proper care, can last decades while patching or resurfacing might only hold up for a few years before needing more attention.

Several materials are suitable for steep driveways. Gravel and crushed stone are affordable options that provide good traction. Permeable pavers—such as plastic, rubber, or concrete—filled with gravel or crushed stones are also excellent, as they allow water to drain without causing erosion and perform well in ice and snow. Another option is resin, which can be coated with an anti-slip finish and helps prevent puddles. For added stability, you can install a retaining wall to prevent pavers and gravel from shifting over time.
