"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!"
"The Nolan family is so hard-working and conscientious! They are very responsive and get back to you. They answer all your questions on the phone and on site before they begin their work and also when they are finished. They truly care about the quality of their work and they are organized and professional at all times! I highly recommend them to anyone looking to have their driveway redone. We get lots of compliments On how our driveway looks!"
"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 paving offers several benefits, including cost-effectiveness and a quick installation process. It provides a durable and smooth surface, making it ideal for high-traffic areas. With proper maintenance, asphalt also offers longevity.
If your driveway is cracked, you can repave it with a process called asphalt overlay. Overlay is more cost-effective than a full replacement but is better suited for minor cracks and issues. If you have major cracks or other problems like water pooling, asphalt overlay isn’t your best bet. Plus, paving over a cracked driveway only extends the lifetime by about 10 years, whereas replacing it would start the clock over completely to give you up to 30 years.
Your driveway contractor will probably recommend that you avoid driving on your new millings driveway for up to a week. Keeping pressure off the freshy applied millings will help the driveway to bind together. While the sun is helpful for binding millings, hotter weather can actually make the curing process take longer.
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
Wet cutting is usually the preferred method. It controls dust, which helps protect your lungs and makes for a cleaner working environment. Plus, the water cools the blade, preventing overheating and prolonging its life while providing smoother, more precise cuts. The downside is the mess—water and asphalt sludge can be messy to clean. Dry cutting, though convenient if water isn’t available, creates a lot of dust, which can be harmful. This also increases the risk of blade damage due to overheating. So, if you have the option, wet cutting is the better method for most asphalt jobs.
