"Overall I was quite impressed by Mike and his company. He was quick to respond to my original call, and he worked with me on several options and questions I had for the work to be performed. Mike was friendly, personable, and he and his crew very professional. They showed up when scheduled, the job was completed as expected, and the new driveway looks great! I had gotten quotes from several paving companies. His costs are very competitive."
"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!!!"
"The process was thoroughly explained, work was completed in a timely manner, the crew respected my property, the price quoted was fair, the crew was friendly. If you want great service at a fair price, I highly recommend Tri-State Paving."
"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!"
"Fantastic work by John and his crew! We hired Plymouth Nursery and Landscape Co. after seeking out multiple companies for our property needs. John's extensive knowledge, expertise and overall passion for plants made me feel like we were in very good hands. The entire process was thorough and yet allowed for additional improvising depending on our needs. Lots of credit to the crew, who worked in challenging weather conditions and handled the stone work, landscaping, lighting and irrigation systems with patience and skill. I appreciated having a detailed layout of our plans so we had a clear understanding of the project and all the materials/plants being used. I was able to give John a vision and he brought everything to life in a way I could have never imagined. I will admit that this project was quite expensive and we also added on to our initial bill. It was an expense that will further add to making our house our home--one that I am very proud of when I pull up my driveway. Thank you very much to John and his crew for the exceptional work! I'm confident we'll continue to use your services for years to come."
"Richard contacted me quickly and was at my house for a free estimate that same day. He started and completed my driveway re-pave a few days later with excellent results. Highly recommended!"
"Absolutely beautiful work. The only snag was that there were delays to the schedule at each step. I believed each explanation, I think between employee shortages, supply chain problems and COVID closings this year was really hard on schedules. I would call these guys again for paving or cement work. They left our yard better than they found it."
"I could not be more pleased with the customer service and work completed on my home. The response to my requests was prompt and extremely professional. I was pleased to hear various options offered and did not feel I was being overcharged or pressured into anything. The work is beautiful and I am happy to recommend Robert Christopher s Masonry to anyone in need on work done."
A traditional driveway gate isn’t your only option when installing a barricade in front of your driveway. A security gate like a swing gate, double swing gate, bi-folding gate, vertical gate, or pivot gate could work just as well as your driveway gate—if not better for your home depending on which qualities you’re after. Like sliding driveway gates, many of these alternatives work with automatic features that simplify entering and exiting your property.
Decomposed granite and caliche can both harden into a solid surface using a plate compactor. However, due to decomposed granite’s fine particles, it’s not suitable for driveway surfaces. Some homeowners use pea gravel mixed with a gravel-binding resin to bind the loose stones and create a solid surface that won’t shift like loose gravel.
To ensure you hire a reliable and experienced paving company, you should start by finding companies in your area that have at least five to ten years of experience working in your neighborhood. Next, rule out companies with poor reviews online or a series of complaints filed with the Better Business Bureau. Since driveways affect your curb appeal, you should also ask each company for references and pictures of recent work to make sure the work the company does is professional and high quality. Finally, check that the company is licensed and insured.
