"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."
"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!"
"Everyone at Evergreen LMI really stood out for making the drainage project at our house so easy and for doing such a great job. Suzanne made the proposal and project set up very easy. And even though it was really hot the day of installation, Keith and his team worked straight through, and the quality of the work - - the way they matched the PVC pipe to the bottoms of the downspouts; the way they laid the lines and replaced and smoothed the sod sections, and then watered - - was first rate! I would recommend Evergreen Landscaping to anyone."
"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."
"Spade concrete will walk you through the process, let you know the schedule, and the boss is on site. I highly recommend Spade concrete for all of your sidewalk, driveway,walkpath needs!!! I'm keeping Spades number. If I need concrete work done, I'll call Spade."
Chip seal layers gravel and a liquid bitumen one at a time on-site, while asphalt directly pours a pre-combined mixture. Asphalt must be sealed, but it will last up to four times as long as chip seal driveways. Aesthetically, chip seal has a natural, rustic look compared to the traditional asphalt slab.
You should not attempt to install your own driveway. Whether working with asphalt or pavement, this is a complicated project that requires special equipment. Talk to some nearby asphalt or paving professionals and discuss your particular needs—it’s a good idea to get a few quotes and look at the company’s past work.
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.
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.
