"Mike and his crew were awesome. I can’t say enough about them. I had to wait awhile for the job to be done due to the rainy weather, but it was so worth the wait. I had some concrete removed and my driveway extended with asphalt. Also had curbing installed to retain my neighbor’s driveway (I live in a row home). Mike and his crew were totally professional and have a great work ethic. Again, I can’t say enough about them. I will definitely have them back for another project in the near future. I highly recommend TMC Concrete and 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 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!"
"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!"
"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."
"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."
"Henry's got the job done quickly and for a reasonable price. Some extra work needed to be done like removing a cement area and bushes to make room for a wider paved driveway, and they did an excellent job. The driveway looks great, and I would highly recommend Henry's Paving!"
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.
Box fill refers to the maximum number of conductors that can be contained within a wiring enclosure box, as well as the total volume of the components. Determining the allowable number of conductors in a box requires adding up the number of conductors, clamps, support fittings, devices and equipment, and equipment grounding conductors to make sure you’re within the allowable volume.
Yes, but it's best to kill off the grass with solarization and remove the dead plant matter before laying down the pavers. This helps limit the chance of your pavers shifting as the dead plant matter decomposes.
Whether you decide to DIY paver installation or want to hire a pro, it’s smart to understand the process. First, you’ll need to prepare the area by clearing away grass and dirt. Next, you’ll add the paver base of gravel and sand before laying the pavers on top. You may need to cut pavers to fit your space or the landscaping design and add edging stones.
To adhere pavers to concrete, you can use either mortar or a concrete-specific adhesive. For border pavers, a polyurethane-based adhesive is a good choice as it expands and contracts with temperature changes, keeping them firmly in place. For the non-border pavers, polymeric sand is used between the joints to prevent shifting. In most cases, it is also recommended to lay a permeable sand layer below the pavers to ensure proper stability and drainage. Before starting, always take the proper preparatory steps for a professional result.
