"Russell Was prompt came right out. Gave a really good price. Got old driveway removed and my driveway replaced the next day, workers did a great job."
"Project went very well. Mario and his crew worked long hours for 3+ days (rained one day) to get the project completed. Couldn't be happier with the wall they built and the clean-up effort they did when finished."
"I used END Asphalt and they did a great job on my driveway a few weeks ago. I recommended them to my neighbor and he was happy with their work. We live on a private drive owned by 7 homeowners, we used them to fix bad spots in the drive, fix a concrete culvert and seal the entire drive. All 7 homeowners were very happy with the job. All three jobs were well done, and the price on all three were very reasonable. Would recommend to anyone."
"R&J Masonry was excellent! Fast, efficient and quality work. I needed repairs for a section of my driveway that had cracked and was sinking. R&J inspected the property immediately and fixed it within a day, answering my questions and going above and beyond. I’d recommend them for jobs of any size."
"Workers were always on time, professional, friendly, and meticulous! They poured concrete for the driveway, sidewalk, and patio. They did an amazing job, would recommend them to family and friends."
"It went very very well. They were on time, very friendly, and were happy to educate us throughout the process. Their bid was mid-level; it wasn't the most expensive but also wasn't the cheapest. However after he took the time to explain the process we knew he was the right man for the job. Due to the heat and because the driveway was so large, we had a little bit of cracking. They came back out and repaired the cracks until we were completely satisfied. I plan to rehire them again in the spring to build us a fence in our backyard. I would highly recommend them to others."
"Chad was very professional and friendly when he came out to measure and discuss our driveway project. He took the time to explain everything thoroughly, which I appreciated. Thanks again, Chad!"
"Caleb did an excellent job of resetting a large section of our paver driveway. He is a very conscientious worker and wants to make sure the job is done right and the customer is satisfied."
Cobblestone is just one of many driveway materials. Other, more economical, albeit less elaborate options include concrete, asphalt, and gravel.
If you want a material that most closely resembles cobblestone, your best option is bricks or pavers. Both cost anywhere from $10 to $50 per square foot and can be laid in all kinds of patterns. Depending on the type of paver you choose, you can also get a good bang for your buck by investing in durable natural stone.
Asphalt edging secures the sides of your driveway to prevent crumbling and cracking over time. Most driveways have edges with a 45-degree grading. This helps transfer some of the stress from the asphalt to the ground underneath. If your driveway doesn’t have proper edging, the pressure from your car may break down the edges over time.
Costs range from $3 to $7 per square foot, depending on the area size and project scope.
Gravel is the cheapest way to extend a driveway. Gravel is an affordable, practical option that’s easy to install and perfect for DIY projects, helping you save on labor costs. It can be quickly spread and leveled to create extra driveway space without heavy preparation. While gravel doesn’t offer the same durability or finished look as concrete or asphalt, its low cost makes it ideal for budget-conscious homeowners who want a functional solution without overspending.
The material that’s best for your private road depends on your property, the climate in your area, and your personal preferences. Gravel is an affordable option, but some homeowners don’t like how it looks. It can be a pain to remove snow from, and it requires more ongoing maintenance than asphalt or concrete. However, while these other options require less maintenance and make snow removal a breeze, they’re more expensive and will need repairs from time to time. Ultimately, you’ll have to choose the road material that suits you and your property best.
