Customers say: Quick response

"We hired JT Masonry to build a retaining wall, sidewalks, a basketball court, and to complete stamped concrete around our pool. Their work was simply stellar! They are very precise in all aspects, and worked extremely hard to make sure we were pleased with everything. They showed up on time everyday, we re very respectful, and left everything in the yard very tidy. We get many compliments about all of our concrete work from the many neighbors in our development. I would not hesitate to recommend JT Masonry to anyone. They will love the results as much as we do, I m sure!"

From installing furnaces and laying both sewer and water pipes to expertly handling our landscaping needs, paving a blacktop driveway, and efficiently managing dumpster and garbage removal, their versatility and skill have been evident. In addition to these services, Martinez Landscaping also installed a beautiful vinyl fence around our property, crafted a stunning patio, and performed meticulous ground leveling in our yard. They even handled some tree removal work with great precision. Every project undertaken was executed with utmost care and professionalism. Their attention to detail is commendable. They not only adhered to the scheduled timelines but also ensured that each job site was left spotlessly clean, treating our property with the respect as if it were their own. This level of detail-oriented service is rare and truly appreciated. The workers were respectful and courteous, contributing significantly to a smooth and hassle-free process.

Asphalt Driveways questions, answered by experts

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.

An asphalt driveway should be at least 3 inches thick over a compacted gravel base. Areas with poor drainage should have a thicker stone base. To install a new asphalt driveway over an existing driveway, the new asphalt should be at least 2 inches thick and the existing driveway should be in relatively good condition.

While blacktop is a type of asphalt, the terms should not be used interchangeably, as not all asphalt qualifies as blacktop. The primary differences are in their composition, production process, and ideal applications. Blacktop contains more stone than other types of asphalt and is heated to a higher temperature during production—300°F or more—while hot-mix asphalt is heated to between 275°F and 300°F. The ratio of bitumen (a tar-like crude oil) is a key differentiator, though sources vary: some state blacktop has less bitumen, making it less durable, while others claim it has a higher ratio. Due to these differences, asphalt is generally more durable and better for high-traffic areas like highways and streets, while blacktop is more suitable for playgrounds and residential driveways. For a driveway project, it is best to consult a professional to determine the most appropriate material.

When comparing installation costs, asphalt is often less expensive upfront than concrete. Asphalt prices typically range from $7 to $15 per square foot, while concrete can range from $3 to $18 per square foot. However, long-term costs should also be considered. Concrete driveways generally last longer (up to twice as long) and require less maintenance, which can make them more affordable over their lifespan. While asphalt has a lower installation cost and is easier to repair, it requires more frequent maintenance, such as sealing, which can add up over time. Therefore, while concrete is more expensive initially, its durability may offset the cost in the long run.

The three most common types of asphalt are hot asphalt, MC cold mix, and UPM asphalt. Hot asphalt is used most often for paving and patching roadways while it’s hot and workable. MC cold mix asphalt cures more slowly than hot asphalt, but it can be used for temporary patches and repairs in low-traffic areas. UPM is also used cold, but it can be used as a longer-term fix, usable in almost any conditions at almost any temperature.
