"James Walsh and the crew of Rock Solid removed our existing concrete pathway in the front of our house and put in pavers. They did an excellent job. James is a highly experienced and knowledgeable professional. He listened carefully to our wishes. James provided excellent advice as to what was needed to make sure that the resulting walkway would be structurally sound and aesthetically pleasing. James is detail oriented and does whatever is necessary to satisfy his customers. I strongly recommend that you call James Walsh of Rock Solid when you are interested in installation of paving stones in both residential and commercial locations."
"Frank and his team did a great job paving a new driveway and entryway. They were communicative throughout the process and worked through the various unexpected roadblocks we encountered."
"We recently hired Moretti Driveway Paving and Patios to replace our driveway and install a brand-new patio — and the results are outstanding! From start to finish, the team was professional, organized, and extremely skilled. As you can see from the before and after photos, the transformation is incredible. What was once a patchy, uneven yard is now a beautiful modern patio, and our driveway looks brand new. The workmanship and attention to detail were top-notch, and they made sure everything was completed on time and exactly as promised. If you’re looking for a reliable, high-quality paving and patio company, I highly recommend Moretti Driveway Paving and Patios. They exceeded our expectations in every way!"
"We have used L and Z Masonry Corp. for a number of our masonry projects. Each time, we have always been extremely satisfied with their excellent work. Recently we had a tremendous amount of rain. Our gutter downspouts previously emptied out onto the concrete surface. With the heavy rains, this presented a problem of flooding and possible water seepage into the basement. Luis, the owner of the company, corrected the situation by digging underground trenches and installing pipes that directed the water away from our house and the surface. He did an excellent job and approached the task very creatively which involved cutting through a concrete slab and tunneling under a slate walkway in order to dig the trenches for the pipes that help to drain the gutters. In addition, we had Luis and his team repair a concrete walkway that was problematic. We are more than satisfied with the work that was done. The new set up for the drainage of our gutters is a tremendous improvement. L and Z is an excellent Masonry Company. Luis carefully laid out his repair plan to us. His team works methodically, consistently, and efficiently to get the job done in a timely manner in a way that minimizes any disruption to you the customer. Luis is very knowledgeable, friendly, trustworthy, polite, helpful, and always willing to please his customers. His team of workers are respectful, diligent, focused, and highly skilled. L and Z Masonry has fair prices that are also competitive. We will most definitely use them for future projects, and we highly recommend this company."
"Excellent service ... excellent everything! Professional, prompt. We were extremely pleased with their service. Always answered all of our questions. I would not hesitate to recommend this provider to anyone."
"Cristhian and his team are very professional. He was on time for our estimate, he emailed our estimate within hours. Someone from his office will call and confirm all appointments the day before. His team arrived on time, worked fast, cleaned up and left. Amazing. I would recommend him to anyone and would use him again for any of the other services they offer."
"Bolani Masonry recently pressure washed, re-applied polymeric sand and sealed the pavers around my pool. Antonio, the owner, could not have been more open, honest and professional. They completed the job in three days as promised. They do great work, I would highly recommend them."
"Frank's crew expanded my driveway footprint, built beautiful stone retaining walls, and finished the job with the best paving work I have seen. A tip of the hat to the crew that was hard working and polite, and who worked through the extremely hot weather of late late August. Best Value out there. Thanks for the great work!"
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.
Although you could try to lay stepping stones directly over grass, which speeds up the installation process significantly, this method often leads to a poor result over time. Even heavy paver stones will eventually slide or shift on top of the grass. Digging into the ground and following the steps we listed is the best way to lay stepping stones for a long-lasting result.
A pallet of pavers will cost about $300 to $700 per pallet. Each pallet covers about 56 square feet. The specific price you pay per pallet of pavers will depend on a few factors, including the type of paver you’re buying, the size and shape of the pavers, and how many pavers you need. In some cases, you’ll spend less per pallet if you’re buying in bulk for very large paver patios.
While paving a driveway is possible to do as a DIY project, we don’t recommend it. Hiring a driveway professional to pave it will ensure that your driveway looks neat and clean and lasts for years to come, and it will also prevent a weak driveway and, potentially, damage to your foundation. Paving a driveway requires heavy machinery, and while you can rent the equipment needed, operating it close to your garage slab or around your home’s foundation can crack it and lead to structural issues.
The best ways to increase the lifespan of your driveway are to carry out proper maintenance and get repairs done quickly. First, reseal your driveway every one to three years to protect it from the elements. If you start to notice significant cracks, hire a professional to diagnose the problem before it gets more serious. You can also use sand instead of salt when de-icing your driveway (since salt is corrosive) and clean your driveway annually using a pressure washer to keep it in tip-top shape.
