"Victor and his team were professional and courteous. They did an excellent job of pouring concrete slab and erecting a metal garage for us. Victor patiently guided me through the decision making process, answering the many questions I had. He responded to my texts and calls in a very timely manner. I will definitely use them for any future needs."
"Prompt communication and responses. Work was done on time, on budget and as promised. Responded quickly to calls and texts and was accommodating on the schedule. Pleasant to work with and I have shared their contact info with others on our street who need their retaining walls replaced or installed. Great price for quality work!"
"These guys saved my job and the landscaping too! My boss had been wanting myself and my team to take care of the landscaping for over a year. They came in & removed the birds nest under our site sign, added GREAT mulch, & made sure our landscaping got what it needed (water & love). When we hired them, I literally said “I don’t want my boss to come to town and talk to me about landscaping. I want him to talk to me about BBQ”. Since they’ve started landscaping hasn’t been a part of any conversation my boss and I have. They’re not only good at what they do but, they care as well."
"Shane and Wasey were great to work with. I have needed driveway improvements to my house for over a decade. I also had some drainage issues that needed to be addressed. Shane and Wasey really listened to what I thought I needed and wanted and worked with me to make it happen. Prior to calling Stryker, I had received 2 quotes and accepted one to start work on 6/7/2021. I was ghosted by that contractor. I reached out to Stryker, they came and looked at my job the same day and had me a quote by the next morning (6/23/2021). I asked for some additional wording on the quote, which Wasey added without issue. They came the day we agreed upon (7/8/2021) and completed the work just like they said they would!!! I am very happy with the driveway. I will hire them again if needed and will recommend to anyone looking for this type of work. Thanks guys!!!!"

Asphalt is not a type of concrete. While both are a common type of pavement, asphalt is composed of aggregates (like sand and gravel) and bitumen; concrete is a mixture of cement, aggregates, and water. Here are some of the key differences between asphalt and concrete driveways.
In terms of durability, concrete driveways can last more than 50 years when properly maintained, compared to the typical 30 years for an asphalt driveway. However, the durability depends on the climate, base material and thickness, and thickness of the concrete or asphalt used. The longevity of concrete or asphalt driveways also depends on how well it’s maintained and the amount of wear and tear it endures.
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.
If you notice minor cosmetic problems with your driveway, you should seal it. Look out for cracks and holes on the surface, faded asphalt or concrete, and stains from oil and other chemicals. Replacing your driveway may be necessary if you’re dealing with significant problems—¼-inch cracks, large potholes, and puddles from drainage issues. The cost to install an asphalt driveway typically ranges between $4,200 and $9,000, significantly more than resealing. Consider talking to a professional to discuss whether resurfacing your driveway—a midway project between resealing and replacing—is a better option for you.
The decision to repair or replace your driveway depends on the extent of the damage. If your driveway has a few small cracks, a simple repair will do the trick. If you see larger cracks and potholes, it may be time to consider resurfacing or replacement. Resurfacing is a great option if more than 25% of the surface is damaged, but if the damage is extensive—deep cracks or significant sinking—it’s best to replace the driveway entirely. A new driveway, with proper care, can last decades while patching or resurfacing might only hold up for a few years before needing more attention.
