"I highly recommend Pellicore Concrete! My wife and I hired Pellicore to remove our 10' wide asphalt driveway and replace it with a widened 18' concrete driveway. The project also entailed demolition of our existing concrete porch, replacing it, adding a new front patio, and tying the porch and patio work into the new driveway. Joe Pellicore met with us and gave us estimates for the entire project, along with breaking down the project into its component parts with estimates for each. We went with the entire project. Joe worked with us on dates for the project, which ended up taking 4 days. Joe and his staff arrived on time every day and kept us informed through each step, making sure we were involved in final decisions. Once the project was poured the crew did an amazing job cleaning up and backfilling gaps between the lawn and the new porch and driveway. They did fantastic work! We love our new porch, patio, and driveway!"
"The project was scheduled quickly and complete it in one day. Rich Immediately respond when I questioned the seeding procedure. The task was completed in a professional and timely manner. Thank you Home Advisor for the Rich s Landscaping Referral."
"Thank you Omni Sealcoat! Great job in sealing my driveway. You did an excellent job in preparing the driveway before sealing it. The driveway looks like it was just paved. Thanks for coming out and doing the estimate and your clear communication."
"The team showed up last Friday to start prepping a large driveway job… Came on Monday and Tuesday to work and by the time they were finished on Tuesday afternoon, our 800 foot driveway was completed!"
"Panic mode was setting in, and our grass was growing taller, after our previous landscaper went bankrupt. Reached out to a bunch of businesses, none of whom were available before the end of the month. Up stepped Ramos Landscaping, with a reasonable price, and they sent a crew within a few days. They are very careful, paying particular attention to details like edging along the curbs and sidewalks, and blowing the clippings off all hard surfaces. Highly recommended."
"They did a beautiful job on the brickwork finishing an existing patio. Their work was meticulous! We are very pleased with it and have plans on hiring them for another project."
"My lawn is completely transformed-thank you to Jay and his crew. The photo is taken 7 weeks after they renovated the lawn. What a difference! I used to struggle with invasive weeds of many types, large bare patches, exposed tree roots and some ground so uneven that my mower deck had to be set at 5. I have mowed the new lawn twice now and I am very happy with the results. Jay made the entire process as simple as possible. He monitored the weather and timed the work accordingly. His crew is extremely hard working and obviously care about what they do. Many thanks and 5 stars."
"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"

Several materials are suitable for steep driveways. Gravel and crushed stone are affordable options that provide good traction. Permeable pavers—such as plastic, rubber, or concrete—filled with gravel or crushed stones are also excellent, as they allow water to drain without causing erosion and perform well in ice and snow. Another option is resin, which can be coated with an anti-slip finish and helps prevent puddles. For added stability, you can install a retaining wall to prevent pavers and gravel from shifting over time.
Cobblestone is just one of many driveway materials. Other, more economical, albeit less elaborate options include concrete, asphalt, and gravel.
If you want a material that most closely resembles cobblestone, your best option is bricks or pavers. Both cost anywhere from $10 to $50 per square foot and can be laid in all kinds of patterns. Depending on the type of paver you choose, you can also get a good bang for your buck by investing in durable natural stone.
Gravel is the most economical and least expensive driveway material, costing between $1 and $3 per square foot. This is significantly cheaper than alternatives like asphalt or concrete. However, it's important to consider long-term costs, as gravel driveways require regular maintenance. You will likely need to add new gravel filling once or twice a year and regularly rake it to keep it level, which can add to the overall cost over time.
Since it has a smoother surface using a mixture of finer rock and sand, 41A tends to be the best asphalt grade for a driveway, especially for residential driveways. Other options are available, but more homeowners choose 41A for a smoother asphalt driveway. Talk with your asphalt driveway professional for recommendations of the best grade for your specific driveway.
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.
