"I needed to have a seal coating for my driveway. I had several estimates given to me and I chose to use Orion Seal Coating. I called and Chris the owner answered, who was very pleasant to deal with. He was professional, competitively priced, and explained what needed to be done. We set a date and time and he came on time just like he said he would. He prepared the driveway by cleaning and blowing the entire driveway edged where the driveway met the pavers and apron, so that there was no grass between them. He even used some kind of machine that smoothed the driveway to make it even and then seal coated it. Chris was meticulous in every aspect of what needed to be done. He was careful, knowledgeable, professional, meticulous, and careful throughout the entire job. There is no question that I am very satisfied with the price, workmanship, and professionalism of Orion Seal Coating. Without reservation, I would recommend that anyone needing a driveway seal coating or any type of paving job call Orion Seal Coating as I am sure that they will be as satisfied as I am."

"Bobby Reitman and his crew handled a large asphalt repair in a commercial parking lot for me and everyone conducted themselves like true professionals from start to finish. I’m very satisfied with the work they did and there was excellent communication throughout the job. When I changed the scope of the work from small spot repairs to re paving major sections of the lot the team at Reitman scrambled to meet my needs and they were very fair with the pricing. Reliability & value was my experience with Reitman."
Recycled asphalt is a durable choice for a driveway, but doesn’t have the same appearance and low maintenance as standard asphalt. For long driveways in rural communities, recycled asphalt can make a great choice. Recycled asphalt is 20% to 30% percent less expensive than standard asphalt and is better for the environment.
The average cost to repair an asphalt driveway is around $2,459 to $2,500. However, prices can range from $100 for minor DIY crack filling to over $4,000 for more extensive professional work. Costs are often calculated per foot, with minor repairs costing $1 to $3 per linear foot and heavier damage like potholes, sinking, or crumbling costing $2 to $5 per linear foot. Patching smaller potholes can cost around $2 to $3 per square foot. The final price depends on the severity and extent of the damage, driveway design, local contractor rates, and whether sealing is included. For major repairs, it is recommended to hire a professional, and you may get a better deal by bundling repair and sealing services together.
To ensure you hire a reliable and experienced paving company, you should start by finding companies in your area that have at least five to ten years of experience working in your neighborhood. Next, rule out companies with poor reviews online or a series of complaints filed with the Better Business Bureau. Since driveways affect your curb appeal, you should also ask each company for references and pictures of recent work to make sure the work the company does is professional and high quality. Finally, check that the company is licensed and insured.
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, hardscaping is generally a great investment that can increase your home's value. Hardscape features improve your yard's functionality, safety, and aesthetics, which boosts curb appeal and overall property value. According to a survey by the National Association of Realtors and the National Association of Landscape Professionals, hardscape upgrades are one of the top four outdoor projects that add value to a property for resale, along with landscape upgrades, landscape management, and lawn care services. While most buyers see value in these features, some may be concerned about potential increases in property taxes or the cost to alter them later. However, the return on investment is typically excellent. For best results, hardscaping should be combined with professional landscaping, and it's wise to hire a reliable contractor for installation.
