"Company was very professional and did a good job. Owner is on site when the work is being done. William was a great listener and interpreter of my needs. He came out to give us an estimate a day after I called him. Made two additional visits to verify the project scope prior to starting. Eighty percent of the Backyard was paved and the Driveway repaved. everything looks great. Project was timely and professional. For a paving company, his equipment was impeccably clean. I would definitely recommend Willliams Paving services."

"Dave and his crew did an excellent job stripping my old landscape beds of stumps, roots, and several tons of old river rocks. They are a team of professionals who arrived promptly in the morning and worked hard all day, taking care not to damage my porch or walkway with their machinery. Afterwards, they did a thorough job cleaning up and even washed the dirt off my driveway. I would definitely use their services again!"

"Service performed for a family member.
Paid $50 (no change): $40 for love seat; $8 for taxes on cost of Angie's List carpet cleaning deal ($100/ 3 rooms).
Didn't know I had to pay taxes; never paid on other services.
Please confirm Angie's list policy of taxes.
Went to loo at work after paying; should have waited to pay but person was already outside ready to go.
Carpet was OK but the love seat never had been vacuumed underneath cushions (dirty) and never cleaned underneath.
Love seat had cushions all back in place while wet from cleaning.
I had to remove all the cushions and lean them up on floor to dry.
Very disappointed in service.

Paving Services questions, answered by experts

Driveways should be sloped with a minimum 2% slope—anything lower will cause precipitation and runoff to collect. A 2% slope is the equivalent of a 2-foot rise over 100 feet. One quick way to check the integrity of your driveway’s slope: no more than four inches of water should collect on the surface longer than 15 minutes after rain.

You’ll first need to install a base underneath your pavers for extra stability and drainage. Otherwise, the pavers can sink into the ground, and you’ll have to reinstall them. Use a base gravel layer of 4 to 6 inches for walkways and 10 to 12 inches for driveways. Compact your gravel layer every 2 to 4 inches so it’s nice and solid. After you install your gravel base, apply a 1-inch layer of sand on top.

The most common causes of sunken pavers are poor base preparation and insufficient compaction. The problem could also be how your pavers were installed. If the soil beneath your patio or walkway wasn't compacted, it will pull pavers down as it settles. Additionally, using bare soil instead of making a paver bed with compacted gravel and sand can cause sinking over time. To fix sunken pavers, consider recompacting the base and addressing any drainage or erosion issues in the area.

The answer to whether or not you need to get a permit before you start your driveway can vary widely based on local ordinances and the scope of your driveway ideas. In most urban and suburban areas, a permit is needed before building a new driveway to ensure that a homeowner is using safe materials and proper drainage practices while designing and constructing a new driveway. In some rural areas, a homeowner may not be required to apply for a permit. When building a new driveway on your own, always check with your local building department to see if you need to request a permit. When hiring a driveway contractor, verify that the right permits are being used before driveway construction begins.

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.
