"We could not be more pleased with how things turned out. The driveway is beautiful as well as the new stoop with a brick border. Nick and crew do amazing work which is not only functional but is a work of art. On top of that , the price was fair and the crew was a pleasure to work with. I will always turn to Nick for my concrete needs."
"Green Landscaping did a most excellent job on the retaining wall. First, they provided a reasonable estimate. Then they were available to do the work, They cleared the old broken down wall and another broken flower bed structure, near the retaining wall, In order to properly install the new wall it was mentioned to me that a tree stump and one big bush would need to be removed. That was fine with me and that's exactly what happened. Bye, bye tree stump. The worker that removed the tree stump operated that equipment with great precision. In the process of the heavy equipment moving in and out of the property, some walkway pavers cracked. I mentioned this to them and before all the work was completed, they replaced the broken pavers. At the end, they cleaned up, leveled the gravel that was in the driveway, The wall looks marvelous."
"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."

When comparing installation costs, asphalt is often less expensive upfront than concrete. Asphalt prices typically range from $7 to $15 per square foot, while concrete can range from $3 to $18 per square foot. However, long-term costs should also be considered. Concrete driveways generally last longer (up to twice as long) and require less maintenance, which can make them more affordable over their lifespan. While asphalt has a lower installation cost and is easier to repair, it requires more frequent maintenance, such as sealing, which can add up over time. Therefore, while concrete is more expensive initially, its durability may offset the cost in the long run.
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.
The three most common types of asphalt are hot asphalt, MC cold mix, and UPM asphalt.
Hot asphalt is used most often for paving and patching roadways while it’s hot and workable. MC cold mix asphalt cures more slowly than hot asphalt, but it can be used for temporary patches and repairs in low-traffic areas. UPM is also used cold, but it can be used as a longer-term fix, usable in almost any conditions at almost any temperature.
Recycled asphalt is not better than gravel, but can be a good alternative. It is inexpensive, but not as low-cost as gravel, and doesn’t tend to last as long. Recycled asphalt isn’t as dusty as gravel and is more environmentally friendly. The black look can be something that homeowners prefer. No matter what, ensure you choose an experienced recycled asphalt contractor.
Think of the street as a way to capture all the elements on either side of the road, including the road—a street encompasses the homes or other buildings, the trees, and the road of a given area as defined by the beginning and end of the street on a map. A roadway, however, is the component of the street where cars travel.
