"Nick and his crew installed a new exposed aggregate concrete driveway in our home. He and his crew were professional and prompt throughout the entire process. We had gotten numerous bids for the job and his bid was competitively priced especially for the experience he has. The quality of work is exceptional and we get numerous compliments from neighbors daily on our new driveway. I would recommend Nick Scotti Concrete Contractor for any concrete work."
"Cullen and his team were total pros and did a fantastic job from planning to pricing to construction. I’d hire him again and would recommend him for any retaining wall/patio/driveway/landscaping work."
"It went very well. I am very happy with the end results. I had no driveway, they came in and put in a new driveway for me. I am very happy with the work."
"Lou and his crew were great. Knowledgeable, easy to work with and quality. Lou came out measured everything up and gave me a quote over the phone later that day. Got me in the schedule and we coordinated around his other projects. Removed old asphalt driveway and installed new concrete slab in 3 days. Would hire Goodfellas again and recommend."
"Rowdy Williams and crew were fantastic. Rowdy himself always answered the phone. There was a lot of grading on this job, including a compound drainage path, which Rowdy designed. They team worked fast and produced a great looking driveway. They did the job the day after I signed the work order. The price was very, very good. Finally, this is a family operation. I could not have been more pleased."

"Driveway looks amazing! Brendan provided a great experience all around. Was able to stop by the same day for an estimate and was back the next day to complete the work. He listened to my concerns about a mess a previous contractor made and provided all the answers/suggestions I needed to hear. Showed up exactly when he said he would and did a great job with prep. Will definitely be saving his info for next time the driveway needs sealed or patched up. TL;DR: High quality product, high quality work, high quality guy 👍🏻"
Professionals ensure a solid base and smooth finish, enhancing durability and appearance.
Gravel is the cheapest way to extend a driveway. Gravel is an affordable, practical option that’s easy to install and perfect for DIY projects, helping you save on labor costs. It can be quickly spread and leveled to create extra driveway space without heavy preparation. While gravel doesn’t offer the same durability or finished look as concrete or asphalt, its low cost makes it ideal for budget-conscious homeowners who want a functional solution without overspending.
Asphalt edging secures the sides of your driveway to prevent crumbling and cracking over time. Most driveways have edges with a 45-degree grading. This helps transfer some of the stress from the asphalt to the ground underneath. If your driveway doesn’t have proper edging, the pressure from your car may break down the edges over time.
Asphalt is not a type of concrete. While both are a common type of pavement, asphalt is composed of aggregates (like sand and gravel) and bitumen; concrete is a mixture of cement, aggregates, and water. Here are some of the key differences between asphalt and concrete driveways.
The cost to replace a driveway ranges from $8 to $15 per square foot, depending on factors that include material, size, and labor. If your driveway has deep cracks, potholes, or drainage issues (or if it’s simply past its prime), replacement might be the smarter investment over constant repairs. Resurfacing can be a cheaper alternative at $3 to $20 per square foot, but it won’t fix your driveway’s underlying problems.
