"We selected Luis & Sons from the Homeadvisor listing for a major job that involved paving a couple of thousand square feet of our driveway with asphalt and laying down stone walkways on the two sides of our house. We also added stone edges with Belgian blocks to separate the planting areas from the paved areas. We got an estimate from Luis before the work and we modified the price only for things we did not foresee. Luis insisted on the removal of the existing asphalt and proper preparation of the paving areas with Item 4 for long term durability, instead of just putting the new asphalt on the old. We agreed, even though it cost a little more. The Belgian stone edges had to be done before the paving. The stone edges and the paving took 5 days for the workers. The stone walkways required the removal of the existing red bricks and be replaced with grey concrete bricks of three different shapes to fit a pattern. That took an additional couple of days. Luis also fixed our foundation where the concrete was pealing off. Luis knows his stuff and has an aethetic sense of what will look good for the specific purpose. He brought all the materials and took back the unwanted excavation. He listened to our concerns and addressed them as we went along. Luis is conscientious and takes pride in his work. Our yard looks very nice with these improvements. Since the company also does landscaping, we may hire them to help us with the omnipresent weed problem in our yard. Overall, this was a very good experience."

"Land and Stone did an amazing job in redoing our front steps, walkway and driveway as well as installing fencing. In addition, Jeff helped navigate a complex permitting process. I highly recommend working with Land and Stone."

"Alex and his crew were fantastic. They were on time, worked very hard and each day they left the site completely cleaned up, including the driveway where they mixed the concrete. They were complete professionals! I had a few small additional things I wanted him to do and he did them without any new charges. Prior to having Alex install the drains and do the other repairs we would always have water coming into our basement, sometimes substantial amounts of water. It has now been about a month since he did the job and we have had two big rain storms and our basement is completely dry thanks to Alex's great work. Alex is very easy to work with and has an old school work ethic, and there were no surprises or over charges. He's a straight shooter. I will be having Alex do more work for us next spring. John"

Asphalt Driveways questions, answered by experts

The three most common types of asphalt are hot asphalt, MC cold mix, and UPM asphalt. Hot asphalt is used most often for paving and patching roadways while it’s hot and workable. MC cold mix asphalt cures more slowly than hot asphalt, but it can be used for temporary patches and repairs in low-traffic areas. UPM is also used cold, but it can be used as a longer-term fix, usable in almost any conditions at almost any temperature.

Even with regular maintenance, most driveways don’t last much longer than 30 years. Alligator cracking is a clear warning sign that your driveway’s foundation is failing, and cracks that are deep and wide can let water in, causing more damage. Standing water is another red flag. If your driveway doesn’t drain properly, it’s going to degrade slowly. Finally, if you’re seeing dips or uneven patches, that’s a sign the base layer or soil is shifting. If these issues pop up, it’s time to replace your driveway.

Asphalt is not a type of concrete. While both are a common type of pavement, asphalt is composed of aggregates (like sand and gravel) and bitumen; concrete is a mixture of cement, aggregates, and water. Here are some of the key differences between asphalt and concrete driveways.

While blacktop is a type of asphalt, the terms should not be used interchangeably, as not all asphalt qualifies as blacktop. The primary differences are in their composition, production process, and ideal applications. Blacktop contains more stone than other types of asphalt and is heated to a higher temperature during production—300°F or more—while hot-mix asphalt is heated to between 275°F and 300°F. The ratio of bitumen (a tar-like crude oil) is a key differentiator, though sources vary: some state blacktop has less bitumen, making it less durable, while others claim it has a higher ratio. Due to these differences, asphalt is generally more durable and better for high-traffic areas like highways and streets, while blacktop is more suitable for playgrounds and residential driveways. For a driveway project, it is best to consult a professional to determine the most appropriate material.

Several materials are suitable for steep driveways. Gravel and crushed stone are affordable options that provide good traction. Permeable pavers—such as plastic, rubber, or concrete—filled with gravel or crushed stones are also excellent, as they allow water to drain without causing erosion and perform well in ice and snow. Another option is resin, which can be coated with an anti-slip finish and helps prevent puddles. For added stability, you can install a retaining wall to prevent pavers and gravel from shifting over time.
