Best asphalt driveway pros near Chestnut Ridge, NY

"The project went extremely well. I can’t say enough about the professionalism shown by James Walsh and his magnificent crew. I called for an estimate after reading all the glowing reviews on Angie’s List. The fact that my location was in Northern Westchester was not an issue. He was very accommodating. We spoke about what I wanted and the ideas I had and he offered his opinion and sometimes alternative suggestions based on his vast experience. Due to changes in the weather, the start date was delayed, but James kept in touch throughout. On the first day, he and his crew came out to inspect the site and take measurements. They also manually broke up the concrete walkway...with sledge hammers?. For the next three days after that, they were here every morning at 7:30 am. His crew was amazing. They and James all worked together like a well oiled machine..not wasting any time. Their craftsmanship was outstanding! You could see the respect that they had for each other. James was great at finding solutions to potential problems. With the driveway apron, there was an issue with the depth of buried Verizon cables. With no info from 811, Verizon, or the City, I was ready to give up on the project. James was very encouraging saying that they would go very slowly and carefully and make it work somehow. In the end, we had no problem with the installation and it turned out beautifully. In another instance, the stone yard did not have the pavers that I’d chosen for the walkway and James went with me to select a new paver, offering valuable advice about the preferred size and layout suitable for my space. We selected a 3 piece paver set that neither of us had intended and it looks fantastic. He discovered that, because of a height difference, we could not use the same pavers bordered by bluestone on the front door platform. We decided to just go with all bluestone on the platform to maintain a uniform height. After trying to brainstorm other options, James suggested a colored bluestone for the center. I was a little hesitant because I did not want the colors to clash. He reassured me that it was neutral enough to work. I trusted his judgement and it looks wonderful! James is a very trusting person. He asked for no money upfront or throughout the job...no 1/3 now, 1/3 halfway through, 1/3 at the end. With him it was simply he does what you ask him to do, and you pay him when he’s finished. That’s rare these days. There was no additional monies tacked on at the end of the job....even if he paid more for materials than anticipated. The costs were not passed on to the client. The job site was left immaculate. All debris was removed and even some that they didn’t generate! All in all, I would not hesitate to work with James and his crew again. They were very meticulous in every detail. You could see the pride that was taken in what they were doing. James is very lucky. He’s got one of the best crews around. At the end, he and I walked through to inspect each of the areas. James was very patient in answering all my questions and concerns. After that, it was “call me if there are any problems and I will come back and fix it” and they were gone. After having worked with James for a mere 4 days, I’m sure he meant it! You will not regret hiring Rock Solid General Contractors!"

"Willie from G&R Landscaping was very professional, and did an incredible job on my property. His attention to detail was like no other, and his work was exactly as we discussed. He installed a belgium block border on my driveway, and his work was extremely neat and clean. Willie also put top soil/seed in a section on my yard, and cleaned out brush and leaves behind my shed and completed everything perfectly. Willie is very responsive and willing to listen and give advice about anything landscape related. His price is very fair and he keeps the customer in mind throughout the whole job. I would recommend him to anyone."

"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."

"Overall the driveway looks nice. I would have liked to see him clean the driveway and pull the few weeds out before sealing it. Or, he should have told me in advance to do this. I was not told to prep the driveway so I did not."

"Very easy to work with and they were able to do the job the following week. Very happy with this company and will have them back to seal the driveway in a few months!"

"Mach Paving did a fantastic job replacing my driveway, and I couldn't be happier with the results. From start to finish, the entire experience was seamless. Santos was very professional, friendly, and easy to communicate with throughout the project, offering a very reasonable and competitive price. His crew arrived right on time, worked diligently, and completed the paving quickly and exactly as agreed. The addition of the Belgian block borders truly elevated the entire project—the new driveway looks amazing and gives the property great curb appeal. I highly recommend Mach Paving and Santos to anyone looking for quality paving work."

"They did an excellent job on what was my nightmare of a driveway. They went above and beyond a quality job. I highly recommend Villa and Sons!"

"We needed chimney sweep & minor repairs. Scheduling was easy and the guys who showed up were on time and very professional. Work was done well and we’re very happy, will be calling them for all future work on our chimney and HVAC."

"We have recently moved here and needed the yard done, we only wanted a really basic clean up. JRN landscaping did an amazing job and blew the debris away. Very professional."

"I had my steps repaired and new railings installed. Job was done well and on time. Will recommend to others."
