"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."
"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!"
"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!"
"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."
Yes, hardscaping is generally a great investment that can increase your home's value. Hardscape features improve your yard's functionality, safety, and aesthetics, which boosts curb appeal and overall property value. According to a survey by the National Association of Realtors and the National Association of Landscape Professionals, hardscape upgrades are one of the top four outdoor projects that add value to a property for resale, along with landscape upgrades, landscape management, and lawn care services. While most buyers see value in these features, some may be concerned about potential increases in property taxes or the cost to alter them later. However, the return on investment is typically excellent. For best results, hardscaping should be combined with professional landscaping, and it's wise to hire a reliable contractor for installation.
Wet cutting is usually the preferred method. It controls dust, which helps protect your lungs and makes for a cleaner working environment. Plus, the water cools the blade, preventing overheating and prolonging its life while providing smoother, more precise cuts. The downside is the mess—water and asphalt sludge can be messy to clean. Dry cutting, though convenient if water isn’t available, creates a lot of dust, which can be harmful. This also increases the risk of blade damage due to overheating. So, if you have the option, wet cutting is the better method for most asphalt jobs.
Yes, a paved or repaved driveway can boost your home's value by increasing its curb appeal and the functionality of your outdoor space. A new driveway can add anywhere from $5,000 to $20,000 to a property's value. An old, crumbling driveway can be a red flag for potential buyers and inspectors.
The amount of value added depends on the materials used, the design, and local market conditions. Concrete is often cited as adding the most value due to its long lifespan, though asphalt may be more desirable in colder climates. The return on investment is greatest when replacing a driveway that is in poor condition; repaving a driveway that is already in good shape will not yield as significant an increase in value.
If you notice minor cosmetic problems with your driveway, you should seal it. Look out for cracks and holes on the surface, faded asphalt or concrete, and stains from oil and other chemicals. Replacing your driveway may be necessary if you’re dealing with significant problems—¼-inch cracks, large potholes, and puddles from drainage issues. The cost to install an asphalt driveway typically ranges between $4,200 and $9,000, significantly more than resealing. Consider talking to a professional to discuss whether resurfacing your driveway—a midway project between resealing and replacing—is a better option for you.
Quality pavers and correct installation handle temperature variations. Proper maintenance is crucial in severe climates to prevent issues like heaving.
