"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."

They removed several trees, stripped top soil, hauled fill, dug all footers and ditches for electric lines, and final graded after construction.

Your city or county will have guidelines about the minimum and maximum width and length of private roads. The average private road is 12 feet wide, and length, of course, depends on your property. Requirements also depend on the amount of traffic and types of vehicles your road experiences. Check with local ordinances before planning a road on your property.
It’s best to weigh the pros and cons of each material and decide on your priorities for your driveway. Gravel won’t be an appropriate choice if your driveway experiences heavy traffic. You’ll find that you need to level and top it off regularly, which could make the material a much more expensive option.
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.

The cost to replace a driveway ranges from $8 to $15 per square foot, depending on factors that include material, size, and labor. If your driveway has deep cracks, potholes, or drainage issues (or if it’s simply past its prime), replacement might be the smarter investment over constant repairs. Resurfacing can be a cheaper alternative at $3 to $20 per square foot, but it won’t fix your driveway’s underlying problems.
