"I would highly recommend Ben's pavement. Company responded to my internet inquiry immediately and actually came to house to provide and estimate same day. Contractor set up firm date for paving. Paving exceeded the 2 inch quote. In certain areas more repair and pavement was required yet contractor did not charge extra. Ben's also recommended Dan Hanson Construction for pavers in and around the new driveway. The two firm worked extremely well together. "
"Great experience with Plymouth Nursery & Landscaping Co and John D. He designed the landscaping and hardscaping of the front and sides of my home. His workers worked for an entire week in 90+ degree weather until job was done. I am now getting so many compliments from my neighbors. We went from no urb appeal to the best house on out block. Thanks, John"
"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."
"Superb quality of work and excellent service. Could not have asked for anything more. Will definitely hire them again and would recommend them to anyone. Outstanding!"
"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."
"Not many snow removal services will also shovel walks. Touch if nature did this and did a good job in freezing temperatures!! Good job plowing driveway also. Came when he said he would!! Would recommend"
"This company is very honest, caring and compassionate to my needs. Guido was very informative on what I needed to do and quoted me with a great price and he was 45 minutes to 1 hour away from me. He has all the equipment necessary to paved anywhere. I appreciate him. i recommend him to anyone needing a paving job."
"Henry's got the job done quickly and for a reasonable price. Some extra work needed to be done like removing a cement area and bushes to make room for a wider paved driveway, and they did an excellent job. The driveway looks great, and I would highly recommend Henry's Paving!"
If your new pavers look dull or unclean, it is likely due to efflorescence, a chalky, white powder that forms when lime in the pavers gets wet. This condition often resolves on its own, as rain will naturally wash it away within about a year. For faster results, you can use a pressure washer to clean the pavers. Alternatively, consider using cleaning products specifically designed to remove efflorescence or applying sulfuric acid crystals.
Your driveway contractor will probably recommend that you avoid driving on your new millings driveway for up to a week. Keeping pressure off the freshy applied millings will help the driveway to bind together. While the sun is helpful for binding millings, hotter weather can actually make the curing process take longer.
Three inches is a great thickness for a residential asphalt driveway that sees minimal to moderate traffic from cars, SUVs, and pickup trucks. However, a thicker driveway can better withstand the weight of a heavier vehicle, such as a trailer or a recreational vehicle. If you drive a heavy vehicle on a thin driveway, you risk cracking and damaging it.
To ensure you hire a reliable and experienced paving company, you should start by finding companies in your area that have at least five to ten years of experience working in your neighborhood. Next, rule out companies with poor reviews online or a series of complaints filed with the Better Business Bureau. Since driveways affect your curb appeal, you should also ask each company for references and pictures of recent work to make sure the work the company does is professional and high quality. Finally, check that the company is licensed and insured.
The layer of polymeric sand under the pavers plus the polymeric sand that gets swept into the joints between your pavers holds them in place in a few ways. For one, the gritty texture of the sand helps lock the pavers together. Polymeric sand also contains bonding agents that get activated by water. Polymeric sand will take between 24 and 48 hours to fully cure, so do not walk on your paver walkway before this time.
