"Richard was a consummate pro. He was respectful and reasonable. There were issues with the driveway that caused problems and they solved them with care and quality."
"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!"

While the specific timeline for building a driveway can vary based on driveway length and local weather conditions, the average concrete driveway can require several days to lay down all of the different parts of the driveway. The curing process may require you to avoid using your driveway for a week following construction. Heavier vehicles should be kept off of a new concrete driveway for several weeks. Building a gravel driveway may take just one to two days in total.
Whether it's worth it to install a heated driveway depends on how often you'll use it, your lifestyle, and your budget. If you live in a mild climate with little snowfall, then installing a built-in heated driveway system may not be worth it. If you live in a region that experiences mild snowfall, then a portable mat could work better. However, if you live in a region with heavy snowfall, it makes sense to invest in a built-in heated driveway.
It takes recycled asphalt 48 hours to initially harden and up to 3 months to fully cure. It’s best to stay off of recycled asphalt for at least 48 hours, then you can walk or drive standard vehicles on it. Hold off on driving heavy trucks or equipment on it for at least 7 days. Allowing the surface to melt together and harden ensures that the surface stays durable and long-lasting.
By grading and compacting the base soil, ensuring proper drainage and stability.
Asphalt driveways last anywhere from 15 to 30 years, but if you don’t stay on top of repairs, you may find yourself spending extra to replace your driveway before its typical lifespan. Stay on top of repairing cracks and potholes by routinely inspecting your driveway once or twice a year. It’s a good idea to pressure wash your asphalt driveway at least once a year to keep it clean. Apply a sealer every one to five years, based on your climate.
