"I reached out to Muddy Driveways and Paving a few weeks back to get an estimate for paving my driveway. Previously the driveway was a combo of dirt, stone, grass and mud. The first thing that impressed me was Zack actually picked up the phone when I called. He came out the next day to give me an estimate. I had 4 other pavers give me estimates before Zack and he was by far the most detailed in his measurements and explained every in and out of the project. He spent at least an hour with me going over everything and consistently gave me real answers. He doesn't tell you only what you want to hear, he gives you the real deal and explains any possible hiccups that could occur. I booked the job a couple days later and my driveway was paved about 20 days after. Throughout the process communication was excellent. I knew when stone was getting delivered, equipment was being dropped off and when prep and paving would be completed. Zack and Jim were on site for the entire process. They have a great dynamic and work so well together. On prep day they walked me through everything, explained what they were doing and why, spray painted the outline of the driveway and asked me for my input. They stoned, graded and rolled on a Tuesday, and paved on Thursday. On paving day Zack and Jim did what they do best and produced a beautiful driveway. They communicated the entire time and asked me multiple times throughout the day if everything looked good and if I was happy. They took my requests and input seriously and did a phenomenal job. At the end of the day they cleaned up everything explained all of the do's and dont's of a new driveway. Money well spent is the best way to describe my new driveway. Do not hesitate to hire Zack and Jim to do your driveway. They will not disappoint."

"Eldi came to give me an estimate to repair and replace my walkway from the blacktop driveway to the front porch using colored paving stones. The front concrete steps had sunken so low that it was dangerous to use them. We negotiated the color desired and the price for the walk and the steps. Wow, he and his 2-man crew came the next Saturday, worked all day to perfect the design, and they were done by early Sunday afternoon. Elo was friendly, professional, and his team did excellent work. I would recommend him highly. Everyone who has seen the new sidewalk is astounded at its beauty. The work wasnâ t cheap, but it looks like it cost a lot more. D. Hahn, Castleton"

Paving Services questions, answered by experts

Asphalt dries and cures best between 50 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit. This range allows moisture to evaporate quickly without causing the asphalt to cool too fast, which can negatively affect the drying process. However, keep in mind that other weather conditions can also affect curing and drying times, such as precipitation and humidity.

The recommended minimum amount for a paver base is 4 inches. From there, it depends on the kind of traffic the pavers will see and the current soil conditions. Two inches of paver base won’t create the amount of stability and support that pavers need to remain securely in place over time.

While water-related pressure caused by poor drainage is one common cause of paver cracking, other factors can include ground movement beneath pavers, heavy loads and wear and tear over the pavers, and climates with constant freeze-thaw cycles. In general, pavers should be resealed every three to five years to prevent cracking.

If your driveway is cracked, you can repave it with a process called asphalt overlay. Overlay is more cost-effective than a full replacement but is better suited for minor cracks and issues. If you have major cracks or other problems like water pooling, asphalt overlay isn’t your best bet. Plus, paving over a cracked driveway only extends the lifetime by about 10 years, whereas replacing it would start the clock over completely to give you up to 30 years.

The ideal distance between stepping stones depends on your design preference. A general rule is to place them about 24 inches apart from center to center to match an average person's stride. Another common approach is to leave about 6 inches of space between the edges of each stone; this can be adjusted to fit the path's total length without cutting pavers. If you plan to plant between the stones, leave at least 6 to 8 inches of space to give the plants room to grow.
