"I highly recommend Transfiguration for landscaping work. I had them install a stone wall along a part of my property that was sliding away due to soil erosion caused by a nearby creek, It was very tricky work because it required very large boulders to be gently placed down over a high slope using a small Bobcat claw. The owner of Transfiguration, Kevin Trobaugh, operated the Bobcat with the skill of a surgeon. The stones were precisely placed without causing any damage to my driveway, from where the Bobcat was operated. On the same day, Kevin's crew installed a decorative stone walkway from our driveway to our rear deck. It looks fantastic. I especially appreciated how easy Kevin was to work with. He carefully listened to my needs and concerns, made very helpful suggestions, regularly communicated with me about his schedule, and very competently executed the project plans. The job site was also properly left clean and orderly when they finished. I highly recommend Transfiguration for landscaping needs and stone wall work."

"Highly recommend! Jim responded quickly to our inquiry to pave our driveway and came by later in the day to check it out and give us a quote. Out of all the quotes we received his was the most reasonable. Jim and his team did an awesome job repaving our driveway. They worked efficiently and cleaned up well after themselves."

Paving Services questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Driveway paving costs around $4,500 on average, but depending on many factors, you could pay anywhere from $2,500 to $6,600 or more. The size of your driveway will usually be the most significant factor, with more square footage increasing your costs. You can expect to pay between $2 and $15 per square foot for paving services. Some other factors that play a role include the following:

  • Quality of the materials

  • Contractor’s experience and expertise

  • Site preparation and grading, if necessary

  • Layout of your driveway

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.

The average cost to repair an asphalt driveway is around $2,459 to $2,500. However, prices can range from $100 for minor DIY crack filling to over $4,000 for more extensive professional work. Costs are often calculated per foot, with minor repairs costing $1 to $3 per linear foot and heavier damage like potholes, sinking, or crumbling costing $2 to $5 per linear foot. Patching smaller potholes can cost around $2 to $3 per square foot. The final price depends on the severity and extent of the damage, driveway design, local contractor rates, and whether sealing is included. For major repairs, it is recommended to hire a professional, and you may get a better deal by bundling repair and sealing services together.
