"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."

"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."

"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: Super punctual

"We recently hired Long Island Mason and Concrete to remove our blacktop driveway and install a concrete driveway, add a concrete walkway and remove and replace our patio. I am so happy with the work that was performed by Tommy and his crew, all his employees are so professional, respectful, and really know what they are doing. I was so impressed by their work ethic and knowledge of their craft. Tommy was easy to work with, we made a few changes to the project and Tommy and the team were able to pivot and accommodate all our requests with no problem. Our job was able to start early and Long Island Mason and Concrete was able to work alongside our other contractors without any problems. I would not hesitate to call Tommy again if I need any mason work done."

Asphalt Driveways FAQs, answered by experts

The material that’s best for your private road depends on your property, the climate in your area, and your personal preferences. Gravel is an affordable option, but some homeowners don’t like how it looks. It can be a pain to remove snow from, and it requires more ongoing maintenance than asphalt or concrete. However, while these other options require less maintenance and make snow removal a breeze, they’re more expensive and will need repairs from time to time. Ultimately, you’ll have to choose the road material that suits you and your property best.

A driveway approach is the part of a driveway where the public road meets the private driveway. This section contains several key elements, including the driveway apron, the curb cut, and the end slope. Depending on the slope of the driveway, this area may also contain the trench drain.

There’s no single best asphalt grade—it all comes down to where and how it’s used. Highways and heavy-traffic roads need something tough, like polymer-modified asphalt (PMA) or Stone Matrix Asphalt (SMA). Local roads and parking lots rely on the Performance Graded (PG) system, chosen based on climate. A PG 64-28 mix, for example, handles a broad temperature range while simpler, more cost-effective mixes are typically enough for residential driveways. The best grade of asphalt depends on traffic, weather, and your budget, which is why a professional’s input is always a smart move before making a decision.

The answer to whether or not you need to get a permit before you start your driveway can vary widely based on local ordinances and the scope of your driveway ideas. In most urban and suburban areas, a permit is needed before building a new driveway to ensure that a homeowner is using safe materials and proper drainage practices while designing and constructing a new driveway. In some rural areas, a homeowner may not be required to apply for a permit. When building a new driveway on your own, always check with your local building department to see if you need to request a permit. When hiring a driveway contractor, verify that the right permits are being used before driveway construction begins.

While some areas may allow for a slope of up to 20%, this is often the maximum slope for driveways, with a few exceptions of up to 25%. Other regions may have a maximum of 12%, 15%, or 18%, so check with your local building department to ensure you’re laying a driveway that is up to code for your location.
