"They did a great job . The price was very reasonable. They covered over my old concrete driveway that needed major repairs. They fixed all cracks and holes with concrete before laying done the asphalt . They stayed the whole day until the job was finished. They cleaned up my driveway and street before leaving the job site. I would definitely recommend TCB paving to anyone needing an asphalt driveway."
"We needed as asphalt apron added to our driving after having the concrete driveway installed and not being level with the road. Our vehicles would scrape upon entering the driveway every time. We called around and had a hard time finding anyone to take this job. P&M took the job and not only fixed the transition from the road to the driveway, but also paved to the drainage inlet to stop the pooling of water at the bottom of the driveway."
"My experience with J.N. Lawn care was fantastic. Josh and his worker’s arrived on time, was very professional, and completed the job quickly. I love the new look of my yard and would highly suggest and rehire L.N. Lawn care again. Thank you for all that you do."
"Lou and his crew were great. Knowledgeable, easy to work with and quality. Lou came out measured everything up and gave me a quote over the phone later that day. Got me in the schedule and we coordinated around his other projects. Removed old asphalt driveway and installed new concrete slab in 3 days. Would hire Goodfellas again and recommend."
"Excellent job. Rick & Son and two employees replaced a sagging driveway retaining wall with 6 x 8 treated timbers. They arrived on time the morning of July 26. The wall was replaced, the plants behind the wall were preserved, the wall looks good and strong, and clean up was complete. A job very done well, timely and professionally."
"Very professional, and hard working. They resurfaced our driveway and did a great job. They did all the prep work and had the driveway complete in a day. I would use them again!"

"John Sr. met with us on a Friday. He gave us information on a Sherwin Williams product that is a painted stain. There was a huge selection of colors and we picked one to match. He gave us an estimate on the painting project and a driveway sealant project. The estimate was an extremely good deal for the work. We called a few hours later to confirm we wanted them to do the work. John and his son Johnny came on Tuesday. His son was just as polite and courteous as his Dad. The job was finished in one day. Their work was very professional and they made sure we were completely satisfied. We are very pleased with both the shed and the driveway. We would highly recommend this company."
Your city or county will have guidelines about the minimum and maximum width and length of private roads. The average private road is 12 feet wide, and length, of course, depends on your property. Requirements also depend on the amount of traffic and types of vehicles your road experiences. Check with local ordinances before planning a road on your property.
An asphalt overlay or top coat costs between $3 and $7 per square foot. For a standard, single-car driveway that’s 10 feet wide and 20 feet long, that’s a total of between $600 and $1,400. For a two-car driveway, you’re looking at a total of between $1,200 and $3,000.
Like all driveway materials, asphalt can crack in the wrong conditions and with age. Many things can cause asphalt to crack, including shifting soil or settling under the foundation. Other common causes are driving oversized vehicles on the asphalt, tree roots, and using rock salt during the snowy season. Proper installation and sealing the driveway every 10 years can help prevent cracks.
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.
The driveway apron is a technical term referring to where a private driveway meets the public street. If there is a sidewalk in front of the house, the driveway apron is typically on the opposite side of the public sidewalk from the driveway itself.
