"Ben and his crew was very professional. Ben reached out to me within the day I called to give me a quote. Arrived at the time giving to me to perform work and got it all done in just one day. I will definitely hire bens paving again in the near future for other asphalt projects."
"John of Plymouth Nursery and Landscaping and his staff were wonderful. They did a terrific job cleaning up my property and planting all new beautiful shrubs and plants. Also installed a system to help with my water problem. My property was in desperate need of a face lift and John and his crew came through. I would recommend Plymouth Nursery and Landscaping!"
"Everything went very well. The new walkway is paving stones and is perfectly done. Beautiful. Their attention to detail impressed me: the shrubs were overgrown and over the walk way. They trimmed the shrubs back to where they should be and exposed the walkway."
"Curt installed low voltage landscape lighting in front and back of our house. The lights transformed the house. Beautiful effect and just the right amount of light. Truly enjoyed working with Curt who continues to demonstrate excellent customer service with our maintenance needs. Would highly recommend."
"JRH Paving repaved an existing driveway that was first paved in 2003 by another firm. The previous firm did an adequate job but created a water problem for a building that was down hill from our house. JRH gave me an estimate to repave the driveway, fix the water problem which wasn’t easy, and to do a little more paving than was originally there. The job was more than 10,000 square feet. They showed up on time, removed the surface of the original paving, fixed the water issue, re-paved the entire driveway, and did it in one day! The owner operated equipment and was on site all day, the equipment was well maintained, and his people were professional, office personnel to truck driver. I would recommend JRH."
"I live in a townhouse and am a senior citizen. My usual snow removal service could not come. This company came in the evening on very short notice and did a great job. Very friendly and polite people. I highly recommend this company!"
"This was a two project paving which required the company to come back in 3 months to add a sealing coat. Everything was paid for at the initial work, but the company came back and completed the job and they went above and beyond what they needed to do. I highly recommend this company"
"Wonderful. They gave me hints on how to care for my pond also. They will also help me with snow removal in the winter. I am very happy with their service."
Yes, pea gravel is good for driveways as long as your driveway isn’t built on a hill or any type of slope where it can slide. It’ll settle on a flat surface and create a suitable driveway over time, though some spreading initially will take place. If you're wondering how to make a gravel driveway in a high-rainfall area, using pea gravel could help you to cut down on costs needed for extra drainage solutions.
Yes, you should lightly wet the sand with a hose before laying the pavers on top. This activates the bonding agents in the sand, ensuring that your pavers don’t shift around during the installation process. However, you should make sure that the sand is not soaked; overwatering can cause the sand and pavers to not set properly.
Pavers are a type of permeable hardscape that can be used for driveways, patios, walkways, and other landscaping features. Unlike poured concrete or asphalt, pavers typically have a layer of gravel underneath to prevent water runoff from damaging your property—though you can also lay pavers on grass. Because pavers are installed piece by piece, you can customize a one-of-a-kind hardscape that best suits your aesthetics, boosting your curb appeal along the way.
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.
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.
