"Charlie and his brother were very professional and efficient . They did a superior job at a great price. Instead of trying to up sell me on a driveway sealer Charlie informed me on how to properly let the driveway cure on its own. I added an additional section to the driveway to pave and they did it at a minimal charge. They took thier time and it shows."

"Dan did an excellent job on our backyard patio design. He was easy to work with during the design process and really listened to what we wanted. He did a great job communicating with us during every step of the installation process. We will be contacting him for future projects we might have!"

"After several quotes and researching companies online, I chose to hire Eli and his crew for my driveway project, adding onto an existing driveway. Eli was easy to work with, responded to my calls promptly, and answered all my questions thoroughly. Pricing was competitive and job was completed the next day of hiring them. Driveway looks beautiful! Would recommend!"

"Chris was excellent! I highly recommend. We had a problem with our front door, literally for years. It continued to get worse and worse until it became a real problem. Chris and I diagnosed the problem, and Chris fixed it beautifully. It is such a pleasure to have our door work as it did when it was installed. He was prompt and went above and beyond. I will definbitely utilize Chris in the future"

"Stephen Callahan responded to my home to provide an estimate on paving my driveway. I found him professional and respectful. He measured the area to be paved and offered a very reasonable and fair estimate. I approved the work and he and his crew were able to begin that day. I watched the project and witnessed his efficient crew as they the laid out my new beautiful driveway. I was so impressed that I asked Stephen to quote another 3200 sq ft and again he provided another reasonable quote. I highly recommend Beneficial Paving."

Paving Services questions, answered by experts

Costs range from $3 to $7 per square foot, depending on the area size and project scope.

Professional installers often include a deep layer of crushed gravel under permeable pavers to allow more runoff to soak through into the soil below. Many installations will include multiple layers of gravel, with coarser aggregate at the base and finer aggregate that sits on top of that bottom layer. Above the gravel, you’ll often find coarse sand that helps reduce paver shifting over time. Some permeable paver designs include a water collection system set into the gravel layer to route runoff to a safe area for disposal.

Paving is a part of hardscaping, so all paving is hardscaping, but not all hardscaping is paving. Paving involves laying down concrete or asphalt, while hardscaping can also include the use of paving stones, bricks, gravel, wood, and more. Hardscape features that involve paving are considered permanent and will increase your property taxes, while some other hardscaping features—like those involving bricks, gravel, and paving stones—will not affect property taxes. Paving also typically requires a permit, while hardscaping features considered temporary will not.

Wet cutting is usually the preferred method. It controls dust, which helps protect your lungs and makes for a cleaner working environment. Plus, the water cools the blade, preventing overheating and prolonging its life while providing smoother, more precise cuts. The downside is the mess—water and asphalt sludge can be messy to clean. Dry cutting, though convenient if water isn’t available, creates a lot of dust, which can be harmful. This also increases the risk of blade damage due to overheating. So, if you have the option, wet cutting is the better method for most asphalt jobs.

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.
