"They provided an excellent service and a great value. Very dependable and professional. Never missed a week and their work was outstanding. Will definitely be using them again next year! In fact, we have retained their services for snow removal this winter."
"I received three estimates before I did the paving on my driveway. I chose P&M because their transparency and all their honest answers to my questions. From start to finish they were five stars. I would highly recommend them for any paving. Their customer service was outstanding."
"Jim came out and gave me an estimate and we agreed on the price. He set the date and showed up with a crew to prep the driveway and then the next week came out with a larger crew to pave it. Honestly I was a little skeptical at first but when the pavement started pouring the crew jumped into action like a well oiled machine. Overall the driveway came out great. It was exactly what we wanted and at a prompt time. These guys are workers!"
"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"
"Wow! Rick is the best! He is the most responsive contractor I've ever seen, answering phone calls and messages and arriving promptly to begin the work just when he said he would! I had gotten multiple quotes for this job and he was the only one to really stand there and think about how it would look and any problems that they might run into. He had a crew of 5 that worked 6 days on removing an old rotten wood retaining wall, cutting it up and disposing of it, excavating a massive hill to add more flat space to the yard, and putting up two retaining walls with french drains. The crew arrived very early each day but were not loud, waiting until well into the morning to begin louder tasks like cutting the blocks. They did everything so beautifully and skillfully; my yard is totally transformed. I would definitely hire them again for any future needs! I could not be any happier with the outcome of the project! If you have a project, go with Rick Page Landscaping!"
"Worked with owner Mike from the beginning...very professional and friendly...gave me a pretty decent price for the paving of my driveway and adding an extension...did all he said his crew would do and I was very pleased with the job done."
"From beginning to end the guys at summit outdoor services killed this wall for me. Fast and efficient! I couldn’t of asked for a better final product!"
Maintaining a driveway depends on its material. For concrete and asphalt, it's best to clean the surface thoroughly twice a year with a stiff broom and a pressure washer to remove accumulated dirt and debris. Sealing the driveway is crucial to protect it from water damage and freeze-thaw cycles. Before applying a sealant, pressure wash the surface to remove any loose sealant, dirt, or stains, as sealing over them will trap them. Any cracks or expansion joints should be filled with a flexible polyurethane caulk or asphalt sealer. In colder climates, use sand instead of salt for de-icing. Sand helps melt snow and ice without accelerating the freeze-thaw process, which can cause cracks.
It is possible to DIY complete hardscaping projects, but in most cases, hiring a professional is best to get the job done correctly. Hardscaping—including installing patios, decks, retaining walls, walkways, and water features—is challenging and time-consuming, so the money you spend on a professional is typically worth it. Not only will the quality be better, but you could avoid problems that come along with a lack of hardscaping experience, like drainage issues that can lead to costly foundation damage and leaks in your home.
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.
After removing existing moss, consider using paver blocking sand to fill the joints. This specialty material hardens once placed and serves as an effective barrier against moss and weeds. From there on, regularly clean your pavers and try to keep them dry. You can also seal your paver as a semi-permanent solution — just make sure you reseal every 3 to 5 years.
Compared to options like concrete, asphalt, and pavers, resin driveways are far more flexible. As a result, they are more durable against chipping and cracking. Their bonded surface allows them to withstand extreme cold and heat without succumbing to the warping or cracking caused by freeze-thaw cycles. In addition, resin driveways are easy to clean and maintain.
