"I needed a new driveway when I moved into my home. I knew Matt from high school and heard he owned a paving company. I called him and asked him to send some pictures of the work he had done in the neighborhood. I have never had to get my driveway done before so was not really sure how the process worked. Matt was patient with me, told me about the process from start to finish. He gave me an estimate which I took to my parents to make sure I was getting a good deal. Matt makes you feel comfortable. I really wanted my driveway done by my housewarming party and he made sure that it was complete."
"Patrick and company were great. They provided quick turnaround, estimates, and great workmanship. I got my driveway repaved in addition to pavers put in. The prices were fair and everything was laid out at the beginning. The estimates given were what I paid in the end. I would not hesitate to recommend the company to anyone looking for paving/masonry needs."
"They were very responsive with an estimate, came over to troubleshoot the problem. Had to remove patio, dig up and replace a water pipe, then insulate and relay the patio. Also took care of problematic downspouts. They came quickly and completed everything in a timely manner and thoroughly. Their workman were all a delight to work with. I recommend them highly!"

"Evergreen did a great job. The staff was pleasant and responsible. The estimator, Keith, is an honest guy, who strove to get the job done in a way that was effective, but also addressed my worries. The correction was done in a timely and efficient manner that, incidentally, was reasonably priced. I recommend this company and plan to use them in the future for other services."
"We had a concrete driveway removed and asphalt installed by Pennsy Paving. They came on time each day, cleaned everything up. And it was a mess taking old driveway out! Finished when they told us. We love our new driveway!"
"This was a two project paving which required the company to come back in 3 months to add a sealing coat. Everything was paid for at the initial work, but the company came back and completed the job and they went above and beyond what they needed to do. I highly recommend this company"
Paving is a part of hardscaping, so all paving is hardscaping, but not all hardscaping is paving. Paving involves laying down concrete or asphalt, while hardscaping can also include the use of paving stones, bricks, gravel, wood, and more. Hardscape features that involve paving are considered permanent and will increase your property taxes, while some other hardscaping features—like those involving bricks, gravel, and paving stones—will not affect property taxes. Paving also typically requires a permit, while hardscaping features considered temporary will not.
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.
Asphalt, which is stone mixed with tar, is the most common material for outdoor basketball courts because it’s so sturdy and versatile. However, you don't have to use it: another option is polymeric rubber, which has shock pads that can prevent injury. This option is a little more expensive, ranging between $16 and $25 per square foot.
Materials used for indoor basketball courts, such as hardwoods, aren’t really an option outdoors.
Decomposed granite and caliche can both harden into a solid surface using a plate compactor. However, due to decomposed granite’s fine particles, it’s not suitable for driveway surfaces. Some homeowners use pea gravel mixed with a gravel-binding resin to bind the loose stones and create a solid surface that won’t shift like loose gravel.
You can expect your asphalt pavement to last anywhere from 20 to 30 years, or 25 years on average. The life expectancy of your asphalt driveway depends on the climate, the amount of traffic, and how well you maintain it. While you can’t necessarily control some of these factors, you can control the amount of maintenance effort you put into your driveway.
To prevent your asphalt from deteriorating prematurely, you should follow a good maintenance routine involving regular cleaning, reparation work, and resealing.
