"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!!!!"

New asphalt typically needs 24 to 72 hours to dry before it can handle light foot traffic and careful driving. Although it may appear solid after a few days, the full curing process, where the asphalt reaches its peak strength, takes much longer—generally from 30 days to a year.
During this extended curing time, the surface remains relatively soft and can be damaged by heavy vehicles, sharp objects, or high temperatures. To protect your investment, it's best to avoid parking heavy machinery on the asphalt until it has fully cured.
The exact time required for drying and curing depends on several factors, including the weather, the specific asphalt mix, and its thickness. For the most accurate advice tailored to your situation, consult with your asphalt contractor.
The average cost of 1,500 square feet of asphalt ranges from about $10,500 to $22,500, depending on location, thickness, base material, and how accessible the job site is to crews and equipment. Keep in mind that your asphalt material cost may vary depending on its type, ranging from porous asphalt to heated blacktop. Standard asphalt costs $7 to $13 per square foot.
An asphalt driveway should be at least 3 inches thick over a compacted gravel base. Areas with poor drainage should have a thicker stone base. To install a new asphalt driveway over an existing driveway, the new asphalt should be at least 2 inches thick and the existing driveway should be in relatively good condition.
Your city or county will have guidelines about the minimum and maximum width and length of private roads. The average private road is 12 feet wide, and length, of course, depends on your property. Requirements also depend on the amount of traffic and types of vehicles your road experiences. Check with local ordinances before planning a road on your property.
Sealing coat asphalt after 6-12 months and then every 2-3 years is recommended.
