"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."

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.

"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!"
The average cost of 1,500 square feet of asphalt ranges from about $10,500 to $22,500, depending on location, thickness, base material, and how accessible the job site is to crews and equipment. Keep in mind that your asphalt material cost may vary depending on its type, ranging from porous asphalt to heated blacktop. Standard asphalt costs $7 to $13 per square foot.
It takes recycled asphalt 48 hours to initially harden and up to 3 months to fully cure. It’s best to stay off of recycled asphalt for at least 48 hours, then you can walk or drive standard vehicles on it. Hold off on driving heavy trucks or equipment on it for at least 7 days. Allowing the surface to melt together and harden ensures that the surface stays durable and long-lasting.
A 500-square-foot driveway can cost anywhere from $5,000 to $35,000, depending on the type of pavers you choose. Grass and concrete pavers are more affordable, while stone and cobblestone pavers are on the higher end of that price range. You’ll save some money by DIYing the installation, though we highly recommend sticking with a professional for this type of driveway installation.
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.
Yes, you can put thin pavers over a concrete driveway. However, it's always best to talk to a driveway installer before starting. You'll need to ensure that the concrete below is in good enough shape to hold the pavers and that the driveway will still meet local building codes.
