"SLD arrived promptly following the snow storm for proper removal and ice control. Job was done during and after the last snow flake. SLD even visited our site prior to any snow to map out the area for any concerns and where to pile the snow, also marking out Hazards. Very professional team and well prepared."

"I was looking up B&B’s number to refer them to a friend and came upon this site where I could post a review. I wish I found this sooner, as B&B completed my bluestone patio over a year ago. This company is so professional. Called for an estimate, came out to see the site within days, sent me a quote within a day and once I agreed to hire them (which was a great decision), dates for install were set and the project was done within the timeframe Michael indicated. The patio came out wonderful. The company made sure to fix any disturbed land after the install. Very impressed with this company, not only for the beautiful end result, but their communication from start to finish."

"I hired Double M to build a million gallon liquid manure storage pit for my farm. The project took 5 months and I was amazed at the work they did. This was a very complicated project. They kept me informed almost every day on what they were doing and if I was satisfied with the work. If I had a concern, they worked with me to resolve the issue. I highly recommend them and plan on working with them in the future."

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.

Yes, it is possible to pave over an existing driveway, but whether it's the right choice depends on several factors. If the underlying structure of your current driveway is still strong, concrete or asphalt resurfacing can be a cost-effective way to prolong its life. However, if your driveway has significant issues like potholes, deep cracks, or other inconsistencies, it is best to remove the old driveway and start from scratch. Key factors to consider include the current driveway's condition, the compatibility of the new material, the added thickness and height, and the necessary surface preparation.

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.

The driveway apron is a technical term referring to where a private driveway meets the public street. If there is a sidewalk in front of the house, the driveway apron is typically on the opposite side of the public sidewalk from the driveway itself.

An ideal driveway gradient is between 2% and 5%. Anything lower than 1% or higher than 15% can cause problems for your car or property. A driveway with less than a 1% slope increases your likelihood of flooding and water damage, while a driveway with a 15% grade or higher can be too steep for safe traveling.
