"Cullen and his crew did a fantastic job overall. We ended up learning a lot about landscaping along the way. I will detail each phase of our experience in order: 1. Estimate: He was very prompt to respond and easy to reach, by email and phone/text. Good coordination, came when we agreed on and gave his honest opinion. We were initially unsure about his estimate/recommendations due to how many modifications he suggested which we didn't initially think of, but he gave great rationale for all of his recs and we agreed on a solution that we felt incorporated what we wanted and improved on them as well. I would say estimated price was on the higher end among the estimates we got, but we feel that it was well worth it. 2. Scheduling: was able to start our job very soon after signing, within 2-3 weeks, despite the fact that he had other work going on and we stated that we were flexible with our timing. Again communication was very good here. Contract was clear and payment format was clear. 3. Job/modifications: whole job was completed in the time frame he stated. When we had questions in the middle, he was easy to reach and answered them the same day we emailed. His crew cleaned the area daily so that our yard/driveway was usable and not a mess for the duration of the job. 4. Cleanup/job end: Final cleanup was very thorough, everything that wasn't part of the job was left the way it was before the job. Care was taken to repair all parts of the lawn impacted by the job. Cullen came at our request to do a final walkthrough of what was done and what was found, and offered additional advice about some of the newfound features of our yard (sinking concrete patio, improperly winterized irrigation lines, unsual splicing of irrigation lines). Answered all of our questions. We never felt pressured to do anything we didn't want or were unsure of. Very knowledgeable about landscaping."

"Rowdy Williams and crew were fantastic. Rowdy himself always answered the phone. There was a lot of grading on this job, including a compound drainage path, which Rowdy designed. They team worked fast and produced a great looking driveway. They did the job the day after I signed the work order. The price was very, very good. Finally, this is a family operation. I could not have been more pleased."

"Kevin not only has design chops, but has the experience to suggest alternatives to help you with your budget. The result from our project has been beautiful stone steps, cobblestone driveway, stone entry wall, and stone retaining walls. In our case, it was important to re-use as much stone that was already on site to keep the look integrated. He was more than willing to do that and the results were a dramatic enhancement to our property."

"John Sr. met with us on a Friday. He gave us information on a Sherwin Williams product that is a painted stain. There was a huge selection of colors and we picked one to match. He gave us an estimate on the painting project and a driveway sealant project. The estimate was an extremely good deal for the work. We called a few hours later to confirm we wanted them to do the work. John and his son Johnny came on Tuesday. His son was just as polite and courteous as his Dad. The job was finished in one day. Their work was very professional and they made sure we were completely satisfied. We are very pleased with both the shed and the driveway. We would highly recommend this company."

Asphalt Driveways questions, answered by experts

New asphalt typically needs 24 to 72 hours to dry before it can handle light foot traffic and careful driving. Although it may appear solid after a few days, the full curing process, where the asphalt reaches its peak strength, takes much longer—generally from 30 days to a year.

During this extended curing time, the surface remains relatively soft and can be damaged by heavy vehicles, sharp objects, or high temperatures. To protect your investment, it's best to avoid parking heavy machinery on the asphalt until it has fully cured.

The exact time required for drying and curing depends on several factors, including the weather, the specific asphalt mix, and its thickness. For the most accurate advice tailored to your situation, consult with your asphalt contractor.

Asphalt and tarmac are not the same thing. Traditional tarmac, short for tarmacadam, uses tar as a binder to hold crushed stone together. Asphalt uses bitumen—a byproduct of crude oil—to bind aggregate. Though tarmac was once a go-to for roads, asphalt has become the modern standard. And these days, most surfaces referred to as “tarmac” are actually asphalt. So, while the names may overlap, the key distinction lies in the binder—tar for tarmac and bitumen for asphalt.

When hiring an asphalt paving contractor to install your driveway, ask as many questions up front as possible. Here are a few questions to ask a prospective driveway contractor:

  • How many years of experience do you have?

  • Are you licensed, bonded, and insured?

  • Do you have worker’s compensation?

  • Do you use subcontractors on your projects?

  • Do you clean up after the job is done?

  • Who is responsible for any damage to lawn or landscaping?

  • Do you provide a guarantee or warranty on your work?

  • Do you give free estimates?

  • What is the timeline for completion?

  • How do you handle change orders?

  • Can you provide at least three references?

  • Can I see some of the work you’ve done?

A driveway's lifespan varies by material. Asphalt driveways typically last 15 to 30 years, while concrete driveways last longer, between 20 and 50 years. The longevity of any driveway is affected by factors like extreme temperatures, heavy traffic, and the quality of maintenance. Regular upkeep, such as filling cracks, resealing the surface, and ensuring proper drainage, can help extend its life. For gravel driveways, regrading to fill in uneven areas every year or two is recommended.

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.
