"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."
"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!"
"I have used L&Z Masonry Corp. for multiple projects over the past 3 years. In each case, the work done was excellent. The owner prepared professional quotations with line-item breakdowns of costs. The work started on time and was completed on time. The workers conducted themselves in a professional manner and put in a full day's work every day. The owner regularly inspected the work that was done and had his crew make adjustments to ensure high quality results. The owner also kept me, the customer, informed as projects progressed and was very responsive to my questions &/or changes that I wanted to make. L&Z Masonry exceeded my expectations. I wholeheartedly recommend their services."
"J&J Paving Inc. did an excellent job & I am satisfied with the service received from Manuel & the rest of his crew. On September 29, they removed all the the old asphalt, did dig the ground and ran several trench PVC pipes & did dig one 5 ft drain holes connect four of the seven PVC pipes and another 3 ft hole to connect the other 3 PVC drain pipes. Lay down gravels with sand cement, gravel rock with cement, leveled the grounds & graded for rain water to run away from the house whenever it rains. Then Lay down the asphalt. We are very please with J&J's service. Customer service skills, courtesy and Manuel did take time to discuss the whole process & answered all questions.
I selected J&J Paving because the proposal was very detailed & explained the steps about the project. The other contractors did not provide a good proposal and some of them took too long to provide a proposal.
I already recommended J&J/Manny Paving to three of my neighbors."
"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."
"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!"
Yes, using recycled asphalt millings is an eco-friendly alternative compared to concrete. Millings are reclaimed pieces of gravel that are recycled into aggregate that can be used on driveways, patios, walkways, basketball courts, tennis courts, and more.
Yes, hardscaping is generally a great investment that can increase your home's value. Hardscape features improve your yard's functionality, safety, and aesthetics, which boosts curb appeal and overall property value. According to a survey by the National Association of Realtors and the National Association of Landscape Professionals, hardscape upgrades are one of the top four outdoor projects that add value to a property for resale, along with landscape upgrades, landscape management, and lawn care services. While most buyers see value in these features, some may be concerned about potential increases in property taxes or the cost to alter them later. However, the return on investment is typically excellent. For best results, hardscaping should be combined with professional landscaping, and it's wise to hire a reliable contractor for installation.
Whether you should resurface or replace your asphalt driveway heavily depends on its condition. If the foundation is solid and the damage is minor, resurfacing is your best bet because it’s more affordable and faster than replacing the driveway. But if your driveway has foundational problems and/or severe damage, like large, deep cracks and potholes, then it makes more sense to replace it.
To ensure you hire a reliable and experienced paving company, you should start by finding companies in your area that have at least five to ten years of experience working in your neighborhood. Next, rule out companies with poor reviews online or a series of complaints filed with the Better Business Bureau. Since driveways affect your curb appeal, you should also ask each company for references and pictures of recent work to make sure the work the company does is professional and high quality. Finally, check that the company is licensed and insured.
The best way to stop your pavers from sinking is to ensure you've properly compacted the base layers. Use your paver compactor and work over the base layer several times to create the hardest possible base. If the soil and sand of your base are compact, you’ll experience less shifting and sinking.
