"Don was very professional. He and the workers showed up when they said they would and our driveway looks great. The only issue we had is that a piece of their equipment took off a piece of our siding. However, Don was incredibly professional about everything. They had gone to Home Depot, and had it fixed and painted by the end of the day. Honestly, they did a great job and had he not told me, I would have never even noticed there was an issue with the siding. We would definitely hire Don again. He made sure we he didn't rip up the whole driveway. He only ripped up areas of our asphalt that needed to be replaced, where as other companies were quoting ripping up the entire driveway. This helped keep the cost down. They are professional and did a great job for a competitive price. We would highly recommend them."
"If you're looking to get your driveway, paved look no further great company. We've been researching for a while very happy we chose P&M we definitely recommend!!! Thank you"
"Lou and his crew did an excellent job. Removed concrete walkway, cleaned entire area, and had new concrete delivered and poured the next day. So many compliments received from neighbors and customers of my wife’s business. I highly recommend Lou Fani and his company."
"Excellent job. Rick & Son and two employees replaced a sagging driveway retaining wall with 6 x 8 treated timbers. They arrived on time the morning of July 26. The wall was replaced, the plants behind the wall were preserved, the wall looks good and strong, and clean up was complete. A job very done well, timely and professionally."
"We had an asphalt driveway about 43 years old. Brandon was wonderful I knew from the moment I met him that he had integrity he was very knowledgeable and professional. The driveway had tons of old asphalt to be removed, the scope of the work was beyond what we could see. Brandon kept in touch with me through the weather delays we had in May 2025. My driveway is beautiful; I would give Brandon Hoffman & his team the highest rate possible. Thank you, Brandon"
"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."
The material that’s best for your private road depends on your property, the climate in your area, and your personal preferences. Gravel is an affordable option, but some homeowners don’t like how it looks. It can be a pain to remove snow from, and it requires more ongoing maintenance than asphalt or concrete. However, while these other options require less maintenance and make snow removal a breeze, they’re more expensive and will need repairs from time to time. Ultimately, you’ll have to choose the road material that suits you and your property best.
Wet cutting is usually the preferred method. It controls dust, which helps protect your lungs and makes for a cleaner working environment. Plus, the water cools the blade, preventing overheating and prolonging its life while providing smoother, more precise cuts. The downside is the mess—water and asphalt sludge can be messy to clean. Dry cutting, though convenient if water isn’t available, creates a lot of dust, which can be harmful. This also increases the risk of blade damage due to overheating. So, if you have the option, wet cutting is the better method for most asphalt jobs.
To maintain their strength, asphalt driveways and parking lots need to be sealcoated once every two to five years. You may also need to reapply paint striping every few years as it fades to ensure drivers can safely navigate the parking lot.
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.
The driveway apron is a technical term referring to where a private driveway meets the public street. If there is a sidewalk in front of the house, the driveway apron is typically on the opposite side of the public sidewalk from the driveway itself.
