"Couldn't have any gone better. They were very professional and went beyond what we had originally contracted for. Upon removal of old garage floor we discovered another serious problem which Mike an his team handled like the pros they are. I would not hesitate to recommend TMC Concrete & Paving."
"Just had my driveway seal coated and it was an excellent job by the crew. The crew was polite and professional. The attention to detail and flawless workmanship speaks for itself. The job was neat and looks beautiful. This company's communication with me from start to finish was second to none! Ben's Paving knows how to provide excellent customer service for its customers. So happy I found Ben's on Angi!!!"
"Tri-State company is an excellent choice for any type of paving work. We had our driveway replaced and we are so pleased with the outcome. Tri-State gave us excellent service from start to finish. Excellent choice!"
"I have worked with Tedesco & Silvestra Paving on multiple projects for communities that I manage. Projects ranging from driveway repairs, sidewalk replacement to snow removal. I am a property manager and have utilized their services for several large projects. They perform high quality work are very professional and I will continue to utilize their services at all communities which I manage. Highly recommended!"
"They were very responsive and punctual by phone, text and in person for visits and installation. Finished product was very close to the planned design and it looks just beautiful. We will be working with them for future projects for our home. It was a real relief after previously having a bad experience with another local landscaping service the year before."
"We hired this company to do the tuck pointing on the full exterior of our 2 story house and repair the top of our chimney. They did a great job and were very professional."
"Poor service follow up after the job was done. Henry showed up for an estimate as promised, gave what seemed a reasonable price. After the job was done, there were some areas at the end of the driveway that looked underdone. It rained that evening, and some of the coating watched away. I called the company the next day and was promised that Henry would come by. Promises were made twice with time frames (by who I believe is his wife who seems to manage the business) but he never showed up. It has been a few weeks and I have stopped calling. They have not followed up. In short, the basic job was done adequately for the most part, but actual customer service after the sale to address issues, has been non-existent. Would not recommend."
"Quality of work was very good and the crew was very customer friendly. I’d recommend them for sure. Mike even agreed to fix some stone facing issues I had at no cost. Overall - high quality work at a competitive price."
Cobblestone driveways can take a major hit on anyone's bank account, begging the question of whether it's worth it to build a cobblestone driveway. Some homeowners might prefer more affordable driveway materials like concrete or pavers, which can give a similar appearance to cobblestone without the high price tag.
Paving your driveway costs between $2,500 and $6,600, to put that in perspective. But for others, there’s nothing quite like the timeless look of cobblestone driveways.
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.
A driveway's lifespan varies by material. Asphalt driveways typically last 15 to 30 years, while concrete driveways last longer, between 20 and 50 years. The longevity of any driveway is affected by factors like extreme temperatures, heavy traffic, and the quality of maintenance. Regular upkeep, such as filling cracks, resealing the surface, and ensuring proper drainage, can help extend its life. For gravel driveways, regrading to fill in uneven areas every year or two is recommended.
While water-related pressure caused by poor drainage is one common cause of paver cracking, other factors can include ground movement beneath pavers, heavy loads and wear and tear over the pavers, and climates with constant freeze-thaw cycles. In general, pavers should be resealed every three to five years to prevent cracking.
Pavers are a type of permeable hardscape that can be used for driveways, patios, walkways, and other landscaping features. Unlike poured concrete or asphalt, pavers typically have a layer of gravel underneath to prevent water runoff from damaging your property—though you can also lay pavers on grass. Because pavers are installed piece by piece, you can customize a one-of-a-kind hardscape that best suits your aesthetics, boosting your curb appeal along the way.
