"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!"
"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!"
"Wow...what a great experience! Curt responded to our phone call immediately and came out to give us an estimate, which was fair and reasonable. His work was done efficiently, he cleaned up every bit of scrap and the "landscaping" work he did was impeccable. My husband and I were extremely pleased with the landscaping and Curt was a pleasure to deal with. I would highly recommend Pine Run Landscaping to anyone who has a minor to major job. Good going Curt...."
"Our experience with Parkyn Landscaping has been nothing short of exceptional. From our first meeting with Tyler, who provided us with a detailed estimate and walked us through every step of the process, to the final transformation of our front and back yard, we have been thoroughly impressed. Initially, our front yard and driveway were plagued with weeds, worn-out mulch, and overgrown bushes desperately in need of trimming. The backyard presented an even larger challenge, with an overgrown garden neglected for over four years and two large fig trees requiring attention. The team at Parkyn Landscaping tackled these issues with expertise and professionalism. They started by removing the smaller, unhealthy fig tree and clearing out all debris. They then filled in the lawn with fresh soil, adjusted the grading for better drainage, and meticulously planted new grass seeds, ensuring to cover them with straw and providing us with detailed watering instructions for optimal growth. Along the side of our house, they planted small boxwood shrubs that promise to enhance our yard's aesthetic once they mature. On the scheduled day, Parkyn Landscaping's crew arrived promptly at 7:30 am, ready to work. Despite the scorching 90-degree heat, they worked tirelessly throughout the day, demonstrating efficiency and a no-nonsense approach. By 4:30 pm, they had completely transformed our yard beyond recognition – so much so that we couldn't resist taking pictures to share with our relatives. We cannot recommend Parkyn Landscaping highly enough to anyone in need of landscaping services. Their commitment to quality, attention to detail, and dedication to customer satisfaction are second to none. Thank you, Parkyn Landscaping, for turning our yard into a beautiful outdoor space we can now truly enjoy!"
"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."

The decision to repair or replace your driveway depends on the extent of the damage. If your driveway has a few small cracks, a simple repair will do the trick. If you see larger cracks and potholes, it may be time to consider resurfacing or replacement. Resurfacing is a great option if more than 25% of the surface is damaged, but if the damage is extensive—deep cracks or significant sinking—it’s best to replace the driveway entirely. A new driveway, with proper care, can last decades while patching or resurfacing might only hold up for a few years before needing more attention.
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.
Yes, it is possible to pave over an existing driveway, but whether it's the right choice depends on several factors. If the underlying structure of your current driveway is still strong, concrete or asphalt resurfacing can be a cost-effective way to prolong its life. However, if your driveway has significant issues like potholes, deep cracks, or other inconsistencies, it is best to remove the old driveway and start from scratch. Key factors to consider include the current driveway's condition, the compatibility of the new material, the added thickness and height, and the necessary surface preparation.
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?
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.
