"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"
"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.
Professionals restore the surface to a fresh, attractive finish by applying a new, even sealant layer.
While some areas may allow for a slope of up to 20%, this is often the maximum slope for driveways, with a few exceptions of up to 25%. Other regions may have a maximum of 12%, 15%, or 18%, so check with your local building department to ensure you’re laying a driveway that is up to code for your location.
You’ll first need to install a base underneath your pavers for extra stability and drainage. Otherwise, the pavers can sink into the ground, and you’ll have to reinstall them. Use a base gravel layer of 4 to 6 inches for walkways and 10 to 12 inches for driveways. Compact your gravel layer every 2 to 4 inches so it’s nice and solid. After you install your gravel base, apply a 1-inch layer of sand on top.
A driveway's lifespan varies by material. Asphalt driveways typically last 15 to 30 years, while concrete driveways last longer, between 20 and 50 years. The longevity of any driveway is affected by factors like extreme temperatures, heavy traffic, and the quality of maintenance. Regular upkeep, such as filling cracks, resealing the surface, and ensuring proper drainage, can help extend its life. For gravel driveways, regrading to fill in uneven areas every year or two is recommended.
While water-related pressure caused by poor drainage is one common cause of paver cracking, other factors can include ground movement beneath pavers, heavy loads and wear and tear over the pavers, and climates with constant freeze-thaw cycles. In general, pavers should be resealed every three to five years to prevent cracking.
