"Rowdy was quick to answer our request for an estimate to pave our driveway. Our project was on property we own one hour from Pittsburgh, Pa. and with no utilities. He met with me on a Sunday, gave his estimate and could do the job on Tuesday. We accepted his estimate and the job was completed on Tuesday. The crew was professional and efficient. We can not be more satisfied with the overall outcome of their work. I would highly recommend their company and would use them again."
"If you're looking to get your driveway, paved look no further great company. We've been researching for a while very happy we chose P&M we definitely recommend!!! Thank you"
"Rick was very friendly, helpful and full on knowledge. He came within a reasonable time frame to bid this smallish project and took the time to explain what was causing our yard to be soggy and exactly what needed done to fix the problem. Since this was a smaller project he was able to squeeze this in relatively quickly. We had no issues with work performed as you couldn’t barely tell where he ran the drain pipe as he peeled and relaid the sod back into place. He also went above and beyond with his work and you can see the pride and honesty when he and he crew are done. I would highly recommend using his services for any of your needs. We are already planning our next project to use his services!"
"Highly recommend! Jim responded quickly to our inquiry to pave our driveway and came by later in the day to check it out and give us a quote. Out of all the quotes we received his was the most reasonable. Jim and his team did an awesome job repaving our driveway. They worked efficiently and cleaned up well after themselves."
"Bryers Asphalt Paving responded immediately to my request for a quote! The owner met with me within 4 hours, and after inspecting my asphalt driveway, explained how the cracks and surface would be repaired and sealed. I agreed with the very reasonable cost and booked an appointment for the next day. Two Bryers employees came at the agreed-on time and completed a first-class job in less than three hours. Cracks were repaired with 400 degrees hot rubberized oil and the entire driveway was sealed with professional oil-based sealer. The results are an excellent job which will last for years. Thank You Bryers Sealing !"
Driveways should be sloped with a minimum 2% slope—anything lower will cause precipitation and runoff to collect. A 2% slope is the equivalent of a 2-foot rise over 100 feet. One quick way to check the integrity of your driveway’s slope: no more than four inches of water should collect on the surface longer than 15 minutes after rain.
Although you could try to lay stepping stones directly over grass, which speeds up the installation process significantly, this method often leads to a poor result over time. Even heavy paver stones will eventually slide or shift on top of the grass. Digging into the ground and following the steps we listed is the best way to lay stepping stones for a long-lasting result.
A 500-square-foot driveway can cost anywhere from $5,000 to $35,000, depending on the type of pavers you choose. Grass and concrete pavers are more affordable, while stone and cobblestone pavers are on the higher end of that price range. You’ll save some money by DIYing the installation, though we highly recommend sticking with a professional for this type of driveway installation.
An example of permeable paving is a set of cinder blocks or natural stone pavers with room inside for natural materials, such as gravel, sand, or grass. You can also design these pavers with brick or plastic tiles.
In addition to these pavers, permeable pavement can be obtained by using a highly porous material, such as pervious concrete or pervious asphalt.
A driveway's lifespan varies by material. Asphalt driveways typically last 15 to 30 years, while concrete driveways last longer, between 20 and 50 years. The longevity of any driveway is affected by factors like extreme temperatures, heavy traffic, and the quality of maintenance. Regular upkeep, such as filling cracks, resealing the surface, and ensuring proper drainage, can help extend its life. For gravel driveways, regrading to fill in uneven areas every year or two is recommended.
