"Josh and crew provided exceptional service. He is very dependable. He’s prompt, courteous, and a true professional. He pays attention to detail and the quality of work is top notch. He takes pride in his work and makes sure it is done right. He goes above and beyond to make the customer happy. He arrives on time, completes the job better than you imagined, and leaves the property looking better than when he arrived. I would highly recommend."
"Cullen and his team were great! Ripped out the exsisting lawn, brought in new topsoil and graded it, spread new grass seed, and covered it with mushroom compost. His team also cut new edging and mulched all the flower beds. Grass is coming in very nicely and we couldn't be happier with the result. Cullen and his team are excellent workers and would recommended to anyone needing landscaping services."
"If you're looking to get your driveway, paved look no further great company. We've been researching for a while very happy we chose P&M we definitely recommend!!! Thank you"
"Rick was very friendly, helpful and full on knowledge. He came within a reasonable time frame to bid this smallish project and took the time to explain what was causing our yard to be soggy and exactly what needed done to fix the problem. Since this was a smaller project he was able to squeeze this in relatively quickly. We had no issues with work performed as you couldn’t barely tell where he ran the drain pipe as he peeled and relaid the sod back into place. He also went above and beyond with his work and you can see the pride and honesty when he and he crew are done. I would highly recommend using his services for any of your needs. We are already planning our next project to use his services!"
"Prompt and professional service. Work was performed as promised and completed on schedule. Justin and Dick kept me informed and were onsite to supervise and support their hardworking team. I strongly recommend JDS Services."
"Jim came out and gave me an estimate and we agreed on the price. He set the date and showed up with a crew to prep the driveway and then the next week came out with a larger crew to pave it. Honestly I was a little skeptical at first but when the pavement started pouring the crew jumped into action like a well oiled machine. Overall the driveway came out great. It was exactly what we wanted and at a prompt time. These guys are workers!"
The most common causes of sunken pavers are poor base preparation and insufficient compaction. The problem could also be how your pavers were installed. If the soil beneath your patio or walkway wasn't compacted, it will pull pavers down as it settles. Additionally, using bare soil instead of making a paver bed with compacted gravel and sand can cause sinking over time. To fix sunken pavers, consider recompacting the base and addressing any drainage or erosion issues in the area.
If you're designing a new patio in an area with poor drainage, permeable pavers made from porous materials may help prevent water issues. Most permeable pavers feature a gravel-only aggregate base instead of a concrete base to allow water to flow through instead of getting trapped. While beneficial in some cases, permeable pavers come with higher initial costs and greater load-bearing limitations compared to traditional pavers.
Your driveway contractor will probably recommend that you avoid driving on your new millings driveway for up to a week. Keeping pressure off the freshy applied millings will help the driveway to bind together. While the sun is helpful for binding millings, hotter weather can actually make the curing process take longer.
Driveways should be sloped with a minimum 2% slope—anything lower will cause precipitation and runoff to collect. A 2% slope is the equivalent of a 2-foot rise over 100 feet. One quick way to check the integrity of your driveway’s slope: no more than four inches of water should collect on the surface longer than 15 minutes after rain.
Paver driveways are durable and aesthetically pleasing, but they do have a few cons. For instance, paver driveways are often more expensive than asphalt and concrete driveways. They also make it easier for weeds to grow where the separate pavers meet up. They may also be more likely to settle over time.
