"Rich and his crew did a great job resurrecting and adding on to my driveway. It was in pretty bad shape and the cut out the part of the driveway that had deteriorated from a previous water issue and tree removal. They brought in stone and tamped it all in and my driveway looks brand new. They also hauled in 3 yards of topsoil to blend in with the landscape. Very professional and would highly recommend!"

"Don was great to work with. We were in consistent communication (Angie's communication, IM and mobile phone) during the early stages of the project thru the completion. Don did a great job of framing to sidewalk so that finished concrete matched both the bottom of the existing cast concrete steps/stoop and the driveway... Which were on different levels and not co-planer."

"Jake and his team did a fantastic job of making my patio project a complete dream come true. I sit out there daily and am so thankful for this space and the how beautiful it looks. I live in a neighborhood where many of us have the same backyards. My neighbors have come to look and many have said I want the exact same thing for their courtyard. I have given many business cards out, and I only do that if I am confident in the business. Highly recommend. Thanks Jake (not from State Farm) :-)"

Asphalt Driveways questions, answered by experts

Gravel is the most economical and least expensive driveway material, costing between $1 and $3 per square foot. This is significantly cheaper than alternatives like asphalt or concrete. However, it's important to consider long-term costs, as gravel driveways require regular maintenance. You will likely need to add new gravel filling once or twice a year and regularly rake it to keep it level, which can add to the overall cost over time.

A solid driveway starts with the right asphalt mix, and for most homes, dense-graded hot mix asphalt (HMA) is the most recommended. It’s both durable and flexible, making it a reliable choice for residential use. A properly compacted 2-3 inch layer on a well-prepared crushed stone base will hold up for years. In areas with harsh winters or scorching summers, a slightly modified mix can help prevent cracking and rutting. No matter the climate, quality installation is just as important as the material itself, so hiring an experienced contractor ensures a smooth, long-lasting driveway built to last.

To maintain their strength, asphalt driveways and parking lots need to be sealcoated once every two to five years. You may also need to reapply paint striping every few years as it fades to ensure drivers can safely navigate the parking lot.

While blacktop is a type of asphalt, the terms should not be used interchangeably, as not all asphalt qualifies as blacktop. The primary differences are in their composition, production process, and ideal applications. Blacktop contains more stone than other types of asphalt and is heated to a higher temperature during production—300°F or more—while hot-mix asphalt is heated to between 275°F and 300°F. The ratio of bitumen (a tar-like crude oil) is a key differentiator, though sources vary: some state blacktop has less bitumen, making it less durable, while others claim it has a higher ratio. Due to these differences, asphalt is generally more durable and better for high-traffic areas like highways and streets, while blacktop is more suitable for playgrounds and residential driveways. For a driveway project, it is best to consult a professional to determine the most appropriate material.

An ideal driveway gradient is between 2% and 5%. Anything lower than 1% or higher than 15% can cause problems for your car or property. A driveway with less than a 1% slope increases your likelihood of flooding and water damage, while a driveway with a 15% grade or higher can be too steep for safe traveling.
