"Anthony was very efficient, he seal coated my driveway in less than 2 hours (i have a long drive way) and that too with very tidy job. I would recommend him to anyone that is looking to get their driveway sealcoated at reasonable price."

"Very good experience! Leading up to the job, Luigi periodically kept us informed on scheduling (each day of rain postpones all work for a day, and we had a rainy July). Then, he and his men performed the work, which included installing a new fence, in a very structured way -- section by section over several days. Luigi also suggested and added a couple of creative touches, such as a gently curved walkway (we had planned it as straight, with no design) leading from the driveway to both our front steps and the main walkway (see below). He even accommodated our need for a way to get our dog out to the street multiple times each day, even as access to our two entrances was ever-changing. The finished product looks outstanding, and has really enhanced our home and property."

"Santos and his crew did a fantastic job, They replaced the asphalt driveway, reset the existing brick apron on the driveway, replaced the landing on my front steps with bluestone, powerwashed everything and put down fresh polymeric sand on my front walk and apron. Two companies that I contacted never called me back, and one did not want to do repairs, only new installations. I would definitely recommend Empire."

"Our driveway came out beautifully! People are complimenting the job left and right. JG landscaping was wonderful to work with. They were prompt, honest, and explained everything along the way. I would upload pictures but it won’t let me attach to the review. I hired them to do more landscaping and would highly recommend!"

Customers say: Quality work

"I can't say enough about King Pavers. Julio, Edelson and the team did an amazing job on our new driveway, walkway, patio, porch and landscape wall! Our only mistake was not calling Julio first. We began this project in March with another company, and were left with nothing - no new driveway, non-existent communication. We found King Pavers after a new search of paving contractors and noticed that King Pavers had stellar reviews, so we called for an estimate in September. Julio responded promptly, visited with us, and immediately demonstrated why his company was so well-regarded. He is knowledgeable, professional and thorough. He offered great design ideas that none of the other firms we met with had. We decided to go with King Pavers, and planned on doing the project in December (weather permitting) or in the spring. We lucked out - this month has been warm, so King Pavers scheduled the job. It took four days from start to finish - Julio and his team showed up every day before 8am, and worked full days to make it happen. The work was neat, they made sure to clean up the job site each day, and communication was excellent as Julio explained everything that was going to be worked on each day. As for the end result - I can't say enough how happy we are with the work King Pavers did for us! I'm pretty picky, and I have yet to find ANYTHING to complain about, LOL - Pavers are level (yes, I took a level to all the work to confirm), cuts are clean and precise, and the job looks AMAZING. Seeing the quality of the work, my neighbor asked Julio to fix issues with his existing paver walkway done by someone else, and was so happy with the work he is now planning future work with King Pavers (and two other neighbors were so impressed they asked for King Paver's contact info). I don't write many reviews - usually if I am very pleased or really unhappy. Julio and King Pavers did what they said they would, communicated well throughout the process, and dealt with us with honesty. They earned our business and through their effort, this 5 star review. We strongly recommend King Pavers!"

Asphalt Driveways questions, answered by experts

The choice between asphalt and concrete depends on your priorities, budget, and climate.

Concrete is generally more durable, lasting up to 50 years with minimal upkeep, and offers more customization options like staining and stamping, which can add more to a home's value. However, it is more expensive upfront and can be prone to cracking in cold climates where water can freeze and expand.

Asphalt is typically cheaper and quicker to install and is easier to repair. It performs better in colder climates. However, it requires more maintenance, including regular resealing, has a shorter lifespan, and can get hot and sticky in intense sunlight.

Ultimately, if durability and long-term value are key, concrete is often the better choice. If upfront cost and performance in cold weather are more important, asphalt may be preferable.

Sealing coat asphalt after 6-12 months and then every 2-3 years is recommended.

It’s best to weigh the pros and cons of each material and decide on your priorities for your driveway. Gravel won’t be an appropriate choice if your driveway experiences heavy traffic. You’ll find that you need to level and top it off regularly, which could make the material a much more expensive option.

When hiring an asphalt paving contractor to install your driveway, ask as many questions up front as possible. Here are a few questions to ask a prospective driveway contractor:

  • How many years of experience do you have?

  • Are you licensed, bonded, and insured?

  • Do you have worker’s compensation?

  • Do you use subcontractors on your projects?

  • Do you clean up after the job is done?

  • Who is responsible for any damage to lawn or landscaping?

  • Do you provide a guarantee or warranty on your work?

  • Do you give free estimates?

  • What is the timeline for completion?

  • How do you handle change orders?

  • Can you provide at least three references?

  • Can I see some of the work you’ve done?

The driveway apron is a technical term referring to where a private driveway meets the public street. If there is a sidewalk in front of the house, the driveway apron is typically on the opposite side of the public sidewalk from the driveway itself.
