"WOW is the best description to use when using Richs Landscaping. From the initial meeting to review what we wanted to the final result. This is a family run business and Rich Jr. was a true professional. We had them install a EP Henry walkway from our new deck to our driveway, We couldn't be more pleased. They are perfectionists . We have had a lot of work done to our home in the last 2 years I always seem to find something wrong when we use contractors but in seeing their work ethic and attention to detail there was not one thing I could see that wasn't 110%. Throughout the installation Rich Jr stayed on the job doing much of the labor right with his crew. Rick Sr. stopped by to check throughout the process. They take pride in their work and certainly should. You will not go wrong with using this company !!"
"These guys were great. We loved the work they did. They edged the grass back and blew off the driveway before they filled in the cracks. They put down the rubber edge before they hand squeegee the seal coat. And taped off the sidewalks and driveway. We definitely would hire these guys again! Thank you Omni!"
"Evergreen Landscaping did an absolutely fantastic job with our lawn! After our new concrete driveway was installed, the driveway sat much lower than the existing lawn. We needed about 10 feet of grass removed on each side, the slope adjusted, and new sod installed. The results are beautiful! The two workers were excellent—professional, careful, and incredibly neat. They took great care around our brand-new concrete driveway and border, and their attention to detail really showed. The new sod looks so seamless with the rest of our lawn that you can hardly tell where the old lawn ends and the new lawn begins. We couldn’t be happier with the finished work. Evergreen Landscaping exceeded our expectations from start to finish, and we would highly recommend them to anyone looking for professional, high-quality landscaping work. Great job, Evergreen Landscaping!"
"Our split rail fence was damaged in a storm and A Touch of Nature did a great job with the repair. Justin gave us many options that were very cost effective. We were so impressed that we also hired them to clear out some scrub growth and small trees in the back of our property. The job they did exceeded our expectations and we will be hiring them for more projects...hopefully soon! 100% recommend A Touch of Nature."
"Curt installed low voltage landscape lighting in front and back of our house. The lights transformed the house. Beautiful effect and just the right amount of light. Truly enjoyed working with Curt who continues to demonstrate excellent customer service with our maintenance needs. Would highly recommend."
"EXCELLENT company to work with. They were here when expected and did a fabulous job. New driveway looks perfect! I was note home when they did the work and there was no mess left behind anywhere! I would hire them again in a minute. . . .Wonder what you can do with my back patio that is falling apart???"
"Plymouth Nursery did exceptional work in our front yard. They installed the necessary drains to deal with water pooling issues, repaved our driveway, and completed beautiful masonry work to create the front steps and porch we had hoped for. They also worked with us to design exactly what we had in mind for landscaping, including lighting that really elevates the finished product. They worked closely with us to determine design and a price point. We had a lot of questions in the planning process, and communication with them was clear and effective. The employees were kind and respectful of us and our space. We are grateful to have worked with Plymouth Nursery on this project."
"Guido came out and gave me a free estimate on my driveway, and the price was very affordable, so the following weekend, he and his crew members came out and put me on a new asphalt Driveway. I highly recommend this company very professional and Communication was excellent."
Asphalt driveways last anywhere from 15 to 30 years, but if you don’t stay on top of repairs, you may find yourself spending extra to replace your driveway before its typical lifespan. Stay on top of repairing cracks and potholes by routinely inspecting your driveway once or twice a year. It’s a good idea to pressure wash your asphalt driveway at least once a year to keep it clean. Apply a sealer every one to five years, based on your climate.
While paving a driveway is possible to do as a DIY project, we don’t recommend it. Hiring a driveway professional to pave it will ensure that your driveway looks neat and clean and lasts for years to come, and it will also prevent a weak driveway and, potentially, damage to your foundation. Paving a driveway requires heavy machinery, and while you can rent the equipment needed, operating it close to your garage slab or around your home’s foundation can crack it and lead to structural issues.
Yes, you can retrofit an existing driveway, but this usually involves cutting grooves into the driveway, installing the heating elements, then sealing them. While this is much less expensive than typical heated driveway systems, the final appearance could be diminished. Speak with a driveway paving company to confirm which design method is best for you.
In the United States, roads are usually categorized as one of three types: public roads, other drivable roads, and non-drivable roads. These categories dictate how a road can be used; a non-drivable road might be classified that way because it is heavily damaged and unsafe for cars.
You should contact your driveway installer before winterizing a newly installed driveway. Winterizing it before the asphalt or concrete has fully cured can damage the driveway. But in many cases, you don't need to winterize a newly installed driveway anyway since it's likely freshly sealed and won't have much damage yet.
