"James and his crew did a brilliant job. They were very efficient, did high quality work, and left the site clean. James has also been good to follow up the work with phone calls to suggest things I could doto make sure the concrete cures well. I would not hesitate to have them back, and will certainly call them when I have additional work to be done."

"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."

"Christhian was an absolute pleasure to work with on our project. His team built a retaining wall so we could expand our driveway. They also repaired and paved the expanse. Work was quick, high quality and team was very professional. Would definitely recommend without reservation!"
"Antonio can not be any more different than the average contractor that many of us fret having to deal with. We immediately felt a strong sense of trust with Antonio. He worked with us in providing suggestions to keep the cost of our project very affordable. He takes incredible pride in the quality of his work and the satisfaction of his customer, without relying on high-end pricing to achieve either. The more we dealt with him, the more we got to know what a genuinely great person he is. It made us completely comfortable working with him, and we even joined him and his workers for several morning coffee and lunch breaks. (Our 3-year old daughter even connected with him and often asked to go outside to see Antonio and asked us if he would be coming back the next day). Hands down, Antonio is one of the most kind, gentle, and trusting individuals you will come across, and especially in the world of contracting services. Antonio built us a new flagstone patio, at least twice the size of our fieldstone patio. We could not be happier with the finished project but there are a few points to highlight. Originally, we desired a 16 x 30 rectangular patio and after advising Antonio of our plans to use the patio, he felt that we might want to do 17 or 18 x 30. While my wife had also felt that way from the start, I was very stubborn in giving up a little more of our backyard depth. Antonio noted that if we changed our minds, he could add on to the depth if we so chose. Sure enough, after endless second-guessing and then seeing the majority of the 16 x 30 patio laid out, we decided to have Antonio build it 17 x 34 . The additional dimensions were seamless and despite it being a late change, the patio shows no signs of an add on A couple of final points about the quality: the subtle multicolored stones are exquisite and perfectly draw in the sand color of our siding just as we had hoped they would. Finally, and possibly the most impressive part, is the circular corner section that we will dedicate to our fit pit area. We were extremely nervous about how that would come out especially when learning they would be cutting the circular perimeter BY HAND. They blew our expectations away with the entire project, but the circular firepit section especially highlights the excellent craftsmanship of the work for Antonio. I have already recommended Antonio to friends and family, including a brother who is a quality-obsessed contractor."
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.
It is possible to DIY complete hardscaping projects, but in most cases, hiring a professional is best to get the job done correctly. Hardscaping—including installing patios, decks, retaining walls, walkways, and water features—is challenging and time-consuming, so the money you spend on a professional is typically worth it. Not only will the quality be better, but you could avoid problems that come along with a lack of hardscaping experience, like drainage issues that can lead to costly foundation damage and leaks in your home.
Yes, permeable paving is expensive. For driveways, expect to pay up to $70 per square foot; for patios, permeable paving can cost up to $30per square foot. Costs will depend on the type of material you choose, plus the standard labor rate in your area.
An example of permeable paving is a set of cinder blocks or natural stone pavers with room inside for natural materials, such as gravel, sand, or grass. You can also design these pavers with brick or plastic tiles.
In addition to these pavers, permeable pavement can be obtained by using a highly porous material, such as pervious concrete or pervious asphalt.
The stones do not work well on uneven ground. If the stones are not buried into the ground and made level upon installation, they almost certainly will shift or crack on uneven ground. Additionally, rainwater or water from sprinklers can run under the edge of an uneven paver, causing erosion. In a freeze and thaw cycle, trapped water under the paver can cause the problem to worsen by shifting the stepping stones around. Use a bubble level to make sure the ground under each paver is as even as possible, even if the nearby ground is uneven.
