"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."

"We have been using Sage for 11 years. Thanks to them, I have a showroom, manicured
landscape.
They show up, take care of the yard, and vanish, like the shoemaker’s elves.
  • We never call to remind them of what needs to be done.
  • They accommodate our schedules by communing through email and SMS since we are hard to reach.
  • The only trace they were here is is a nicely striped lawn from mowing (like a ball park), manicured shrubs, a lush lawn, and disappearing weeds.

"This company resurfaced my driveway which was completely repaved by another service only 5 years ago. The previous work did not hold up so I chose to resurface using JHR. What a beautiful job they did…they removed a portion of the driveway, addressed the cracks and filled in a very large hole which had developed. I am completely satisfied with the work and received a fair price. It was worth waiting to get on their schedule….next year they will seal the driveway…great company to work with."

"In a word, D&S does spectacular perfect work. Don and Isaac and their crews are the definition of professionals and experts in their craft of design and execution of hardscape, and good people. We did a complete renovation of our house which entailed 1. the removal of 13 mature trees and visibly gnarly roots; design and installation of: 2 an 800SF patio (after excavating a giant concrete slab), 3. Three walkways, and 4. Drainage, 5. A new paver driveway, 6. A new and expanded front landing, 7. New flower box, 8. Garage drainage and concrete floor enhancement and 9. Lighting. The results are stunning and have enhanced the beauty and functionality of our home into a serene and solid oasis. D&S did a perfect job, on time, for exactly the prices quoted. Further, the individual attention Don in particular paid to me and my family to help us with design and decisions and budget was most appreciated. I give D&S my highest recommendation. Hire them! You'll be completely satisfied and happy!"

Asphalt Driveways questions, answered by experts

While blacktop is a type of asphalt, the terms should not be used interchangeably, as not all asphalt qualifies as blacktop. The primary differences are in their composition, production process, and ideal applications. Blacktop contains more stone than other types of asphalt and is heated to a higher temperature during production—300°F or more—while hot-mix asphalt is heated to between 275°F and 300°F. The ratio of bitumen (a tar-like crude oil) is a key differentiator, though sources vary: some state blacktop has less bitumen, making it less durable, while others claim it has a higher ratio. Due to these differences, asphalt is generally more durable and better for high-traffic areas like highways and streets, while blacktop is more suitable for playgrounds and residential driveways. For a driveway project, it is best to consult a professional to determine the most appropriate material.

Common alternatives to a gravel driveway include concrete, asphalt, brick, stone pavers, and permeable pavers. Concrete and asphalt are generally the most affordable options. However, concrete can be prone to cracking in cold climates, while asphalt may soften in areas with high heat and direct sun exposure. For enhanced curb appeal, brick, stone, and permeable pavers are popular choices, though their installation can be more expensive due to intricate designs. Stone pavers offer a natural look and are sometimes installed with gravel around them. Both permeable pavers and brick driveways provide excellent drainage, which helps prevent flooding and reduce water runoff.

It takes recycled asphalt 48 hours to initially harden and up to 3 months to fully cure. It’s best to stay off of recycled asphalt for at least 48 hours, then you can walk or drive standard vehicles on it. Hold off on driving heavy trucks or equipment on it for at least 7 days. Allowing the surface to melt together and harden ensures that the surface stays durable and long-lasting. 

The cost to pour a driveway apron depends on the material and size. Concrete costs $3 to $10 per square foot, asphalt ranges from $2 to $5, and pavers are $5 to $15 per square foot. Additional expenses, like excavation, base material, and labor, can increase the total cost. For example, a standard 12x15-foot concrete apron could cost between $540 and $1,800, depending on local rates and additional work required. Always consult a local driveway paving contractor to get an accurate estimate tailored to your project.

Regular cleaning, sealing, and timely repair of cracks help maintain its condition.
