"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!"
"I've used Evergreen for many years at 3 different houses. Jay and crew are great. Excellent communication, design ideas, and suggestions. They are quick and meticulous. I had them do a total rip out and redesign of the front yard at one house for which they had to remove several overgrown bushes, regrade, and replant. I also had them install a privacy fence across the back yard and a short split-rail fence with gates at both sides of the house. At the 2nd house I had them completely regrade, fill, reseed and fertilize my disaster of a back yard (It took more than 6 dump trucks worth of fill). They also built a 2 tier retaining wall along the 40 ft. driveway and another stacked stone retaining wall along a sloped part of the back yard. The back yard went from a patchy, rut-filled, weed-infested disaster with several rotten stumps to a level green playground when they were done. Along the way I've also had them do fertilization treatments, aeration and over-seeding, spring and fall cleanups, and cuts. We're now on house 3 and getting started all over again. I won't use anyone else. Highly recommended."
"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."
"The entire process from the quote to the work being completed was a great experience. Henry genuinely cared about making sure we got what we wanted and needed and that the job was done right. He was friendly, kind and very professional. He and his crew did an excellent job and worked hard. The driveway is absolutely beautiful, graded perfectly and radically transformed the look of our 1800s farmhouse. I'm recommending Henry's to everyone I know."
"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."
"Water proofed my basement, it made such a big difference. Amazing work, clean, friendly and polite workers, very professional. Able to answer my questions and concerns. I also had concrete work done my driveway , walk way and back patio. Improved the look and value of my home and turned my house into my own oasis. Definitely recommend using Bella View Concrete if you want Good Reliable work done. D.A"
The decision to repair or replace your driveway depends on the extent of the damage. If your driveway has a few small cracks, a simple repair will do the trick. If you see larger cracks and potholes, it may be time to consider resurfacing or replacement. Resurfacing is a great option if more than 25% of the surface is damaged, but if the damage is extensive—deep cracks or significant sinking—it’s best to replace the driveway entirely. A new driveway, with proper care, can last decades while patching or resurfacing might only hold up for a few years before needing more attention.
Building a road on a slope requires careful planning and will normally require a drainage system underneath to prevent flooding and damage to the road over time. Your professional may lengthen your road to create switchbacks if the slope directly to your home is too steep, as there are regulations for maximum road slope. The drainage system will help prevent runoff from the higher side of the slope from damaging the asphalt or concrete. Keep in mind that building a road on a slope isn’t a good DIY project, as a lot can go wrong.
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.
While the specific timeline for building a driveway can vary based on driveway length and local weather conditions, the average concrete driveway can require several days to lay down all of the different parts of the driveway. The curing process may require you to avoid using your driveway for a week following construction. Heavier vehicles should be kept off of a new concrete driveway for several weeks. Building a gravel driveway may take just one to two days in total.
Depending on project size, typically 1 to 3 days, including preparation and installation.
