"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."
"I would highly recommend Ben's pavement. Company responded to my internet inquiry immediately and actually came to house to provide and estimate same day. Contractor set up firm date for paving. Paving exceeded the 2 inch quote. In certain areas more repair and pavement was required yet contractor did not charge extra. Ben's also recommended Dan Hanson Construction for pavers in and around the new driveway. The two firm worked extremely well together. "
"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 needed a new driveway when I moved into my home. I knew Matt from high school and heard he owned a paving company. I called him and asked him to send some pictures of the work he had done in the neighborhood. I have never had to get my driveway done before so was not really sure how the process worked. Matt was patient with me, told me about the process from start to finish. He gave me an estimate which I took to my parents to make sure I was getting a good deal. Matt makes you feel comfortable. I really wanted my driveway done by my housewarming party and he made sure that it was complete."
"We had an excellent experience with Plymouth Landscaping! We hired them to complete a deck removal and patio install, with some plantings around the perimeter. Joe and his team were always available to answer questions, and we had a LOT. Our yard is small and sloped and they came up with brilliant solutions in order to utilize the space we were working with. Jose, Arturo and Carlos were super knowledgeable, professional, cleaned up every evening before departing. I would highly recommend Plymouth Landscaping for your backyard projects!"
"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!"
"Great job! This is the second time we contracted with Jean, The Driveway Lady and we are totally happy with the completed job. Her service is fast, very reasonable, and of high quality. She was flexible in scheduling to accommodate us. We will definitely use her service again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for quality driveway service."
"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."
The stones do not work well on uneven ground. If the stones are not buried into the ground and made level upon installation, they almost certainly will shift or crack on uneven ground. Additionally, rainwater or water from sprinklers can run under the edge of an uneven paver, causing erosion. In a freeze and thaw cycle, trapped water under the paver can cause the problem to worsen by shifting the stepping stones around. Use a bubble level to make sure the ground under each paver is as even as possible, even if the nearby ground is uneven.
The layer of polymeric sand under the pavers plus the polymeric sand that gets swept into the joints between your pavers holds them in place in a few ways. For one, the gritty texture of the sand helps lock the pavers together. Polymeric sand also contains bonding agents that get activated by water. Polymeric sand will take between 24 and 48 hours to fully cure, so do not walk on your paver walkway before this time.
Like brick, paver, and cobblestone driveways, resin driveways can have intricate patterns using different colors. Aggregates can be laid to create curves, shapes, letters, or numbers. When using custom colors or patterns, homeowners can expect to add an extra $2 to $6 per square foot to achieve their desired look.
In most cases, you don’t need a permit to repave your driveway, although some exceptions exist. If you’re widening your driveway and plan on widening the apron as well, you’ll usually need a permit from the Department of Transportation in your area. This permit costs between $50 and $300 in most cases. Most municipalities will also require a certified and insured contractor do the work relating to the apron and curb cut. You can contact your building department or ask your paving company if you need a permit. Your driveway professional will usually pull the permit for you.
If you wish to break up a cracked or broken paver for removal, you can use a hammer or mallet and a chisel to fragment the paver. As you’re working, be careful not to disturb surrounding pavers; the key is to work slowly and steadily and remove the broken pieces gently. You should also wear a mask and goggles to ensure that no dust gets into your eyes, nose, or mouth as you work.
