"My husband and I were in need of a full backyard make over and some water drainage corrections. We found Laz Scapes locally as they were recommended by many garden centers and other business owners in the area. Ronnie came and provided multiple estimates and discussed our needs/wants, he was extremely responsive and easy to communicate with. Eventually, we agreed on the scope of the project and work began in early May with an expected timeline of about a month: driveway expansion, install drywall/drainage and landscape design of our backyard mountain. Ronnie, Ed and the rest of the team showed up day one on-time, excited and eager to start. Each day afterwards the team showed up on-time in the morning and worked into the evening making sure we understood the status before they left. We had great weather so the job went much quicker than originally expected, they were done in just over a week! Ed's work with the large machines is hypnotic and smooth and the team did some serious work bringing in and laying all the stone. Ronnie was always available for questions and was constantly evaluating and making adjustments to make sure we were happy with the end result. Overall we're super pleased with the work that Ronnie, Ed and the rest of the team did for us. We recommend and would totally hire them again! Thank you Ronnie, Ed and team so much again! See you next year for the driveway pave!"

"I Had a driveway, a year and a half ago installed. It is still solid and in great shape. Tony and his daughter came out recently and steel coated it. Tony and his daughter came out the other day and straightened out some edges for free. Amazing family company and stands by their work. I Highly recommend this company for your next paving project. If considering a paving company. Blacktop has over 50 years in the business."

"Jim and his crew are incredible. I requested a quote for a new paved driveway and Jim called me himself to explain the scope of work and pricing. He is very accommodating, responsive,transparent and it’s clear that he is very proud of the work they do. They are very skilled and experience and completed my project with ease. They pitched the driveway perfectly to direct all water away from my house. They got me on the schedule extremely quickly, showed up on time, and were very knowledgeable and professional. They treated my driveway as if it were their own and wanted everything to be perfect. It is clear that they are the best at what they do and I would recommend them to anyone looking for these services."

Customers say: Terrific value

"Friendly, concerned with my requirements and that I was pleased with the results. They went above and beyond and installed corrugated pipe under walkway but it drained into the other side of the walkway into the yard. I called after the job was complete after a weekend rain storm and left a message. I said it didn’t work out and the piping needed to go further but didn’t get a return call. I fully expected to pay for the extra work since it wasn’t part of the original contract. The sidewalk cracked in August but the pad remains intact and looks great and I’ve received multiple compliments. I believe communication was the issue here and not workmanship."

"I couldn't be happier with the work! The landscaper came to my house on Tuesday, and I asked if there was any way the project could be completed before July 4th. I honestly thought it was a long shot, but he and his team made it happen—they had everything finished by Friday. They graded the entire area around my pool, delivered the rock the very next day, spread it evenly, and left everything looking beautiful. They worked efficiently, paid attention to the details, and cleaned up so well that there wasn't a single mess left behind. A special shoutout to Sean, who operated the bobcat. He did an excellent job and was clearly skilled at what he was doing. The entire crew came in, worked hard, and knocked the project out quickly without sacrificing quality. I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for reliable, professional landscaping. I'll definitely be hiring them again for future projects. Thank you for exceeding my expectations!"

Paving Services questions, answered by experts

The stones do not work well on uneven ground. If the stones are not buried into the ground and made level upon installation, they almost certainly will shift or crack on uneven ground. Additionally, rainwater or water from sprinklers can run under the edge of an uneven paver, causing erosion. In a freeze and thaw cycle, trapped water under the paver can cause the problem to worsen by shifting the stepping stones around. Use a bubble level to make sure the ground under each paver is as even as possible, even if the nearby ground is uneven.

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.

Asphalt dries and cures best between 50 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit. This range allows moisture to evaporate quickly without causing the asphalt to cool too fast, which can negatively affect the drying process. However, keep in mind that other weather conditions can also affect curing and drying times, such as precipitation and humidity.

In most cases, you don’t need a permit to repave your driveway, although some exceptions exist. If you’re widening your driveway and plan on widening the apron as well, you’ll usually need a permit from the Department of Transportation in your area. This permit costs between $50 and $300 in most cases. Most municipalities will also require a certified and insured contractor do the work relating to the apron and curb cut. You can contact your building department or ask your paving company if you need a permit. Your driveway professional will usually pull the permit for you.

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.
