"Mantz Lawn and Landscaping came out to the house to see what the issues were and discuss how to solve it. I had some ideas, and he was able to explain how my ideas would work or not. Suggestions were given for some areas, such as relocating a shed to another area of the yard to increase the yard space available in a section, and spotting some mold on the northfacing exterior wall that he was able to powerwash. He also helped fix the decking and created some paver areas where kids naturally walk to reduce wear and tear on the garden beds. The work was phenomenal. When we moved in, the moving company all loved and commented on our backyard, and I am so pleased with the front yard's curb appeal. There are a few elements that will have to grow into full completion (i.e. the crepe myrtle tree needs to actually grow from the sapling), and per my request he left space for me to happily add more plants. This was an expensive project because it was a LOT of work - nearly a month's work. But the landscaping really makes the perfect house into the perfect forever home."

"I called the company for concrete work but they do restoration only. They were very polite and professional on the phone and took the time to hear my project needs. Too bad they don't do the work I needed, would have been a pleasure to work with them. Since they were so quick to respond I will keep their info in my business folder.

Asphalt Driveways questions, answered by experts

A solid driveway starts with the right asphalt mix, and for most homes, dense-graded hot mix asphalt (HMA) is the most recommended. It’s both durable and flexible, making it a reliable choice for residential use. A properly compacted 2-3 inch layer on a well-prepared crushed stone base will hold up for years. In areas with harsh winters or scorching summers, a slightly modified mix can help prevent cracking and rutting. No matter the climate, quality installation is just as important as the material itself, so hiring an experienced contractor ensures a smooth, long-lasting driveway built to last.

Chip seal layers gravel and a liquid bitumen one at a time on-site, while asphalt directly pours a pre-combined mixture. Asphalt must be sealed, but it will last up to four times as long as chip seal driveways. Aesthetically, chip seal has a natural, rustic look compared to the traditional asphalt slab.

Many asphalt companies have experience with tar and chip paving, but not all. The process is unique enough—and not incredibly common enough—that you may have to look around for a tar and chip specialist. However, speaking with a driveway company is a great place to start, especially if they have experience with multiple materials.

The cost to pour a driveway apron depends on the material and size. Concrete costs $3 to $10 per square foot, asphalt ranges from $2 to $5, and pavers are $5 to $15 per square foot. Additional expenses, like excavation, base material, and labor, can increase the total cost. For example, a standard 12x15-foot concrete apron could cost between $540 and $1,800, depending on local rates and additional work required. Always consult a local driveway paving contractor to get an accurate estimate tailored to your project.

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.
