"Russ was very polite and timely. The price was very competitive and the crew was hardworking and respectful. I would recommend Smith Paving to anyone who needs asphalt paving. The job was completed in one day and the job site was very clean. Don't hesitate to call Russ for your paving needs."
"Pave-it did an AMAZING job on our driveway and added a huge new parking pad in the back of the house. All the workers were very professional, hard working, and talented with what they do. They maneuvered around obstacles and made the addition exactly what we wanted (our request was oddly shaped). They slightly sloped the driveway away from the house as requested, itâ s literally perfect. To top it off the price was more than fair! I highly recommend these guys!! Thank you Pave-it"
"My neighbors invited me to join them getting our driveways sealed from a different company, who not only refused to fill the few cracks in my driveway but told me it needed to be fully dug up and replaced. I called Joe Wheeler instead and got excellent service just a few days later - Filled cracks plus sealer for less money than the other company charged to just seal it! The work is EXCELLENT, they tended to all the details, and were just as nice as could be. 10/10 will call them again."
"I had a wonderful experience with Martin Services! I needed a lot of gravel up by my house and to expand the area for parking and large vehicles turning around. I was contacted very quickly (from Angi's List), and he was willing to come out as soon as possible to get measurements for a quote which meant meeting me at 7:30pm when I got off work. He provided me with a quote late that same night! I found his quote to be very fair for the amount of gravel, labor, and equipment. He also took the time to quote grading and added gravel for the driveway down to the road even though I was not able to afford doing that soon. And I will be using Martin Services for that job when the time comes. He was very professional and listened to exactly what I wanted. He completed everything within 1 week which was amazing. Not only that, you can see from the pictures, what an excellent job he did! I am very pleased with how it turned out, and it looks amazing! I highly recommend Martin Services!!"
"Mario's crew did a great job mowing our lawn and with the trimming. Very reliable always showed up to service our lawn. Never any problems with billing. Excellent service was provided and would recommend them for landscaping."
"The response from the owner has been fabulous. A whole team showed up. They pointed out a roofing issue that will need repaired. The quality of their lighting is great and they guarantee the price for 3 yrs. Call them if you are in need of Christmas lighting. I think they also provide mowing services. Nice people!"
This was my first time using this lawn care service and I was extremely please. He was friendly and enthusiastic from the start and worked very hard and the results showed.
I was so pleased with the final product that I am going to continue using this lawn care service.
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.
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.
While paving a driveway is possible to do as a DIY project, we don’t recommend it. Hiring a driveway professional to pave it will ensure that your driveway looks neat and clean and lasts for years to come, and it will also prevent a weak driveway and, potentially, damage to your foundation. Paving a driveway requires heavy machinery, and while you can rent the equipment needed, operating it close to your garage slab or around your home’s foundation can crack it and lead to structural issues.
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.
Whether you should resurface or replace your asphalt driveway heavily depends on its condition. If the foundation is solid and the damage is minor, resurfacing is your best bet because it’s more affordable and faster than replacing the driveway. But if your driveway has foundational problems and/or severe damage, like large, deep cracks and potholes, then it makes more sense to replace it.
