"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."

"- Ed Sage provided estimate the Tues after the Irene tropical storm weekend. We had made the appointment 2 wks prior and as busy as they were he still kept the appointment. He was extremely knowledgeable and provided recommendation not to do some things I was looking at that made perfect sense...although he could have just included in the estimate and provided me now advice. At the time he said it would be 1-2 wks before they could schedule the job due to large amount work in their queue
- While at my house I asked numerous additional questions and recommendations concerning some lawn overseeding and sod work. Ed answered all my questions and provided me the steps to take if I did it myself. He also offered to provide me the sod by ordering some extra for another job he had.
- I accepted the bid two days later and they told me they would call once they had scheduled the job to confirm it was ok for me. I also requested the sod he had offered to get and deliver for me at cost.
- They delivered the sod (30 roles) a couple of days later
- They showed up on the scheduled date first thing in morning and were on site until 6pm
- They did everything included in estimate and also trimmed a large holly tree and picked up a large brush pile I had that were not in the estimate. They did this at no additional charge
- They thoroughly cleaned up the yard, driveway, sidewalk and street
- I was very satisfied with the work they did and professionalism of the crew
- Ed was very helpful and direct in all his communications with me
- I would highly recommend Sage and actually contacted them a couple of weeks later to due some additional landscaping work for me

"I hired Uprise to repair my pavers on the driveway and I was pleased with the work, professionalism and honesty. I ended up using them for my 20x40 deck replacement and it was just as great as the first experience. We used trex boards, they were open to ideas and listened to our suggestions and they explained everything in detail."

Asphalt Driveways questions, answered by experts

The choice between asphalt and concrete depends on your priorities, budget, and climate.

Concrete is generally more durable, lasting up to 50 years with minimal upkeep, and offers more customization options like staining and stamping, which can add more to a home's value. However, it is more expensive upfront and can be prone to cracking in cold climates where water can freeze and expand.

Asphalt is typically cheaper and quicker to install and is easier to repair. It performs better in colder climates. However, it requires more maintenance, including regular resealing, has a shorter lifespan, and can get hot and sticky in intense sunlight.

Ultimately, if durability and long-term value are key, concrete is often the better choice. If upfront cost and performance in cold weather are more important, asphalt may be preferable.

You can expect your asphalt pavement to last anywhere from 20 to 30 years, or 25 years on average. The life expectancy of your asphalt driveway depends on the climate, the amount of traffic, and how well you maintain it. While you can’t necessarily control some of these factors, you can control the amount of maintenance effort you put into your driveway. 

To prevent your asphalt from deteriorating prematurely, you should follow a good maintenance routine involving regular cleaning, reparation work, and resealing.

To maintain their strength, asphalt driveways and parking lots need to be sealcoated once every two to five years. You may also need to reapply paint striping every few years as it fades to ensure drivers can safely navigate the parking lot.

Cobblestone is just one of many driveway materials. Other, more economical, albeit less elaborate options include concrete, asphalt, and gravel. 

If you want a material that most closely resembles cobblestone, your best option is bricks or pavers. Both cost anywhere from $10 to $50 per square foot and can be laid in all kinds of patterns. Depending on the type of paver you choose, you can also get a good bang for your buck by investing in durable natural stone.

Concrete is typically the best material for a driveway if you’re looking for longevity, cost-effectiveness, and ease of maintenance. But, it’s not ideal for areas with annual freeze-frost cycles, nor is it the most attractive option—although you can get it stamped or painted. If your location is consistently below freezing, asphalt may be a better choice.
