"Ryan and his team were fantastic! They replaced my culvert and regraded my gravel driveway quickly and efficiently. The end result looks amazing, and the value was outstanding. They were a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend them."
"The guys at M&J were outstanding. They came out and did an estimate, and did the job they said they'd do. They took extra care around decorative stone and sprayed the rest of the driveway. It really helped me and I would recommend them to anyone."
"Immanuel provided a fair estimate for the complete removal of my old asphalt driveway, rebuilding the base, and applying a 3-inch layer of asphalt after rolling. All of this was done in about six hours. He and his crew did a great job minimizing damage to the lawn adjacent to the driveway and worked in an efficient and friendly manner. This morning, after the heavy rains of last night, it was great to see no standing water anywhere on my driveway. Finally, as an old Army commander, I found a section with well maintained vehicles and tools has a good leader in charge. For years I have noticed how clean Immanuelâ s equipment always is which indicates to me a professional who cares."

"Cherry Excavating did a fantastic job preparing the site for construction of my 40' x 52' building. They removed several trees, stripped top soil, hauled fill, dug all footers and ditches for electric lines, and final graded after construction. Everything turned out great and I would highly recommend them for all of your excavation needs."
An ideal driveway gradient is between 2% and 5%. Anything lower than 1% or higher than 15% can cause problems for your car or property. A driveway with less than a 1% slope increases your likelihood of flooding and water damage, while a driveway with a 15% grade or higher can be too steep for safe traveling.
Think of the street as a way to capture all the elements on either side of the road, including the road—a street encompasses the homes or other buildings, the trees, and the road of a given area as defined by the beginning and end of the street on a map. A roadway, however, is the component of the street where cars travel.
Three inches is a great thickness for a residential asphalt driveway that sees minimal to moderate traffic from cars, SUVs, and pickup trucks. However, a thicker driveway can better withstand the weight of a heavier vehicle, such as a trailer or a recreational vehicle. If you drive a heavy vehicle on a thin driveway, you risk cracking and damaging it.
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.
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.
