"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!"
"Very professional organization that suggested ideas for the best way to fix my wall. The price was reasonable for the services provided and they did an excellent job."
"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."
"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."
"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!"
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.
Yes, a paved or repaved driveway can boost your home's value by increasing its curb appeal and the functionality of your outdoor space. A new driveway can add anywhere from $5,000 to $20,000 to a property's value. An old, crumbling driveway can be a red flag for potential buyers and inspectors.
The amount of value added depends on the materials used, the design, and local market conditions. Concrete is often cited as adding the most value due to its long lifespan, though asphalt may be more desirable in colder climates. The return on investment is greatest when replacing a driveway that is in poor condition; repaving a driveway that is already in good shape will not yield as significant an increase in value.
If you're designing a new patio in an area with poor drainage, permeable pavers made from porous materials may help prevent water issues. Most permeable pavers feature a gravel-only aggregate base instead of a concrete base to allow water to flow through instead of getting trapped. While beneficial in some cases, permeable pavers come with higher initial costs and greater load-bearing limitations compared to traditional pavers.
An ideal driveway gradient is between 2% and 5%. Anything lower than 1% or higher than 15% can cause problems for your car or property. A driveway with less than a 1% slope increases your likelihood of flooding and water damage, while a driveway with a 15% grade or higher can be too steep for safe traveling.
Asphalt, which is stone mixed with tar, is the most common material for outdoor basketball courts because it’s so sturdy and versatile. However, you don't have to use it: another option is polymeric rubber, which has shock pads that can prevent injury. This option is a little more expensive, ranging between $16 and $25 per square foot.
Materials used for indoor basketball courts, such as hardwoods, aren’t really an option outdoors.
