"Best paving is the best they did my job in record breaking time and the quality was amazing I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a driveway installation"
"Ryan, Matt, Dan, and team from United Paving & Masonry = awesome! Simply phenomenal work, Price, Communication, Speed, and Quality! They checked all the boxes. The removed and installed pavers for my walkway and patio and paved my driveway and lined it with Belgian block, Craftsmanship was impeccable. I have other contractors asking about the work and multiple complements from the neighbors I highly recommend United Paving and Masonry!"
"This job could not have gone any better! After requesting a few quotes via Angie's list, Richard got back to me within 24 hours to inquire about the job. Turns out he was doing a few driveways in my development the next day and said he would stop by and have a look at my driveway. After a brief chat about options for the driveway, he gave me the price (very reasonable) and said he would be back later in the morning to perform the work. Richard and his team showed up as scheduled, sealed the driveway (looks awesome) and they were on their way! This may have been the most economical, highest quality, lowest stress work I have ever had on our house! Highest rating for all aspects of the service for sure."
"I can’t say enough good words about D&S Landscaping. They completely transformed our backyard into an additional living space for our home, and changed the way we use and enjoy our property. The design was perfect, the landscaping was beautifully executed, and the paving stones added such a high-end feel. The lighting they installed brings everything to life at night — it’s stunning and makes us want to spend all our extra time outside. The quality of their work is top-level, and the team was professional, reliable, and incredibly skilled from start to finish. We couldn’t be happier and highly recommend them to anyone looking to elevate their outdoor space!"

"We just finished a big backyard project done by Classico Pavers and we couldn't be more happy with the outcome. Our backyard has become an oasis with the completion of a huge patio with full outdoor kitchen (they built from scratch) and fire pit area with a beautiful path to the pool. Thiago was excellent to work with and always readily available to answer any questions that arose throughout the project. Adriano, the foreman on the job, and his crew were amazing! Their attention to detail and craftsmanship was spectacular. I would highly recommend Classico Pavers and plan on using their services again in the future!"
"John and his crew were excellent from start to finish. They transformed are old broken and cracked driveway into beautiful combination of asphalt and paver border with paver apron that John had mentioned We were so impressed with how the driveway was turning out. We decided to have John redo our patio.I couldn’t recommend provision paving and Masonary enough."
The stones do not work well on uneven ground. If the stones are not buried into the ground and made level upon installation, they almost certainly will shift or crack on uneven ground. Additionally, rainwater or water from sprinklers can run under the edge of an uneven paver, causing erosion. In a freeze and thaw cycle, trapped water under the paver can cause the problem to worsen by shifting the stepping stones around. Use a bubble level to make sure the ground under each paver is as even as possible, even if the nearby ground is uneven.
A traditional driveway gate isn’t your only option when installing a barricade in front of your driveway. A security gate like a swing gate, double swing gate, bi-folding gate, vertical gate, or pivot gate could work just as well as your driveway gate—if not better for your home depending on which qualities you’re after. Like sliding driveway gates, many of these alternatives work with automatic features that simplify entering and exiting your property.
If you miss the perfect time frame to trowel finish concrete, you likely won’t get the smooth, flawless result you’re looking for. In this case, you should contact a concrete professional or look to methods like sanding, grinding, or patching once the concrete dries. These methods will ensure the best final result for the lowest cost.
The ideal distance between stepping stones depends on your design preference. A general rule is to place them about 24 inches apart from center to center to match an average person's stride. Another common approach is to leave about 6 inches of space between the edges of each stone; this can be adjusted to fit the path's total length without cutting pavers. If you plan to plant between the stones, leave at least 6 to 8 inches of space to give the plants room to grow.
If you notice minor cosmetic problems with your driveway, you should seal it. Look out for cracks and holes on the surface, faded asphalt or concrete, and stains from oil and other chemicals. Replacing your driveway may be necessary if you’re dealing with significant problems—¼-inch cracks, large potholes, and puddles from drainage issues. The cost to install an asphalt driveway typically ranges between $4,200 and $9,000, significantly more than resealing. Consider talking to a professional to discuss whether resurfacing your driveway—a midway project between resealing and replacing—is a better option for you.
