"The crew were sealing a neighbor's driveway and as they were finishing up, I asked about my driveway. I received a quote and within 30 to 45 minutes, the work was done. They even fixed a broken piece of asphalt. My driveway looks great!"
"We could not be more pleased with how things turned out. The driveway is beautiful as well as the new stoop with a brick border. Nick and crew do amazing work which is not only functional but is a work of art. On top of that , the price was fair and the crew was a pleasure to work with. I will always turn to Nick for my concrete needs."
"Green Landscaping did a most excellent job on the retaining wall. First, they provided a reasonable estimate. Then they were available to do the work, They cleared the old broken down wall and another broken flower bed structure, near the retaining wall, In order to properly install the new wall it was mentioned to me that a tree stump and one big bush would need to be removed. That was fine with me and that's exactly what happened. Bye, bye tree stump. The worker that removed the tree stump operated that equipment with great precision. In the process of the heavy equipment moving in and out of the property, some walkway pavers cracked. I mentioned this to them and before all the work was completed, they replaced the broken pavers. At the end, they cleaned up, leveled the gravel that was in the driveway, The wall looks marvelous."
"They were in the neighborhood doing another job and told me they could pave the gravel driveway at one of my rental properties. I had gotten prices a few years ago, and even given the time difference, they beat the price by almost $1,000. They did a good job prepping the area and put in an asphalt driveway the same day."
"Lou and his crew were great. Knowledgeable, easy to work with and quality. Lou came out measured everything up and gave me a quote over the phone later that day. Got me in the schedule and we coordinated around his other projects. Removed old asphalt driveway and installed new concrete slab in 3 days. Would hire Goodfellas again and recommend."
"Rowdy was great to work with. called sunday and met with us ,explained the process ,gave estimate. We decided to go with his estimate and called him and he completed the driveway on monday. Fast ,friendly,attention to detail, beautiful job . WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PRO TO ANYONE!! Thank you Rowdy for a great job ."
"Ryan was very helpful and professional. He trimmed my shrubs, uprooted a magnolia that was threatening the foundation of my home and beautified and trimmed my shrubs. He did an excellent job! I highly recommend him!"
"Driveway looks amazing! Brendan provided a great experience all around. Was able to stop by the same day for an estimate and was back the next day to complete the work. He listened to my concerns about a mess a previous contractor made and provided all the answers/suggestions I needed to hear. Showed up exactly when he said he would and did a great job with prep. Will definitely be saving his info for next time the driveway needs sealed or patched up. TL;DR: High quality product, high quality work, high quality guy 👍🏻"
In the United States, roads are usually categorized as one of three types: public roads, other drivable roads, and non-drivable roads. These categories dictate how a road can be used; a non-drivable road might be classified that way because it is heavily damaged and unsafe for cars.
It takes recycled asphalt 48 hours to initially harden and up to 3 months to fully cure. It’s best to stay off of recycled asphalt for at least 48 hours, then you can walk or drive standard vehicles on it. Hold off on driving heavy trucks or equipment on it for at least 7 days. Allowing the surface to melt together and harden ensures that the surface stays durable and long-lasting.
Instead of a set number of types, asphalt comes in variations designed for different needs. Some are categorized by temperature—hot mix, warm mix, and cold mix. Others are sorted by composition, like dense-graded, gap-graded (such as Stone Matrix Asphalt), porous, and mastic asphalt. There are also modified versions with added compounds like polymers, rubber, or emulsions. Instead of focusing on a number, it may be more useful to understand how contractors customize asphalt for durability, climate, and traffic conditions.
Three inches is a great thickness for a residential asphalt driveway that sees minimal to moderate traffic from cars, SUVs, and pickup trucks. However, a thicker driveway can better withstand the weight of a heavier vehicle, such as a trailer or a recreational vehicle. If you drive a heavy vehicle on a thin driveway, you risk cracking and damaging it.
Sealing coat asphalt after 6-12 months and then every 2-3 years is recommended.
