"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!"
"Curt and his co worker Chris have been cutting my lawn and performing a number of other landscaping projects over the past 10 years or so. In addition, I hired them to build a large patio in my back yard. It came out beautiful! Curt is extremely easy to work with and really works closely with his client. I couldn't ask for a better professional working on my very specific needs. Finally, Curt and Chris are just really good people."
"Evergreen Landscaping did an absolutely fantastic job with our lawn! After our new concrete driveway was installed, the driveway sat much lower than the existing lawn. We needed about 10 feet of grass removed on each side, the slope adjusted, and new sod installed. The results are beautiful! The two workers were excellent—professional, careful, and incredibly neat. They took great care around our brand-new concrete driveway and border, and their attention to detail really showed. The new sod looks so seamless with the rest of our lawn that you can hardly tell where the old lawn ends and the new lawn begins. We couldn’t be happier with the finished work. Evergreen Landscaping exceeded our expectations from start to finish, and we would highly recommend them to anyone looking for professional, high-quality landscaping work. Great job, Evergreen Landscaping!"
"It was amazing. They moved me out so quickly before my ex husband came home and saw I was gone. I would totally hire again. I am going to hire them for the work that needs to be done on my new house."
"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."
"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"
If you’re looking for a similar, eco-friendly driveway material, you might consider one of these options:
Permeable pavement: This material is sometimes called “pervious” or “porous” pavement; it allows stormwater to drain into the subbase, eliminating storm drain costs.
Gravel: Consider paving your driveway with locally sourced gravel. By sourcing from a nearby source, your money won’t fund international shipping and will be invested back into your local community.
Natural stone pavers: Because natural stone pavers are made from organically-produced stone, there’s no new manufacturing required, limiting the environmental impact. In addition, water easily flows and drains through the gaps in the pavers.
By grading and compacting the base soil, ensuring proper drainage and stability.
Asphalt, which is stone mixed with tar, is the most common material for outdoor basketball courts because it’s so sturdy and versatile. However, you don't have to use it: another option is polymeric rubber, which has shock pads that can prevent injury. This option is a little more expensive, ranging between $16 and $25 per square foot.
Materials used for indoor basketball courts, such as hardwoods, aren’t really an option outdoors.
An asphalt overlay or top coat costs between $3 and $7 per square foot. For a standard, single-car driveway that’s 10 feet wide and 20 feet long, that’s a total of between $600 and $1,400. For a two-car driveway, you’re looking at a total of between $1,200 and $3,000.
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.
