"I recently had the pleasure of meeting & working with Eric Jeffrey, owner of EPK Construction to have my driveway paved. Upon consultation, he explained the process, and his use of high quality, superior products. Mr. Jeffrey and his crew completed the job in his estimated time. He remained at the job site throughout the completion of the job, his crew members were respectful of my property and courteous. Mr. Jeffrey answered my many questions with knowledge and professionalism. I am very pleased with my choice of hiring EPK Construction Services. I interviewed 5 companies in total and EPK Construction Service, clearly was my first choice with Mr. Jeffrey's professionalism, knowledge, and a VERY FAIR PRICE ! I am a very pleased, satisfied customer."
"Beausoleil & Son were very professional when they came and replaced my driveway. They provided a quality a service. They came out when they said they would and maintained a clean jobsite, were very professional and well prepared. The driveway looks great. I'd recommend them."
"The work was completed and looks great. Both men were quite knowledgeable and Andrew explained everything to me in detail that would need to be done to fix my cement porch. I highly recommend this company."
"Look no further if choosing a paving company. Bill went above and beyond for my property recently. After many free estimates, Bill’s personality, friendliness, overall character, and price made me choose him. He kept in touch with me every step of the way. I never had to wonder when he was coming to pave my driveway. He gave me a date and time, and was there when he said he would be, ready to go. His construction company does more than just asphalt and I would choose him in the future. Thank you Bill to you and your team. You guys are the best!"
"Valter and his crew were prompt, courteous, respectful, and hard-working. Communication was great, and Valter consulted me at every step. His crew flawlessly re-pointed our foundation in several spots, built a new border around our front garden, and laid in a paved walkway. The results were stunning. Valter was direct, honest, and fair in his estimate and pricing. We will definitely work with him again!"
"I like this company very much. They did exactly what they said they would do, and their work was neat and thorough. They were also very helpful in getting this work done late in the season when weather was an issue. I will continue to use DeJesus for all my driveway needs."
An example of permeable paving is a set of cinder blocks or natural stone pavers with room inside for natural materials, such as gravel, sand, or grass. You can also design these pavers with brick or plastic tiles.
In addition to these pavers, permeable pavement can be obtained by using a highly porous material, such as pervious concrete or pervious asphalt.
The recommended minimum amount for a paver base is 4 inches. From there, it depends on the kind of traffic the pavers will see and the current soil conditions. Two inches of paver base won’t create the amount of stability and support that pavers need to remain securely in place over time.
Your city or county will have guidelines about the minimum and maximum width and length of private roads. The average private road is 12 feet wide, and length, of course, depends on your property. Requirements also depend on the amount of traffic and types of vehicles your road experiences. Check with local ordinances before planning a road on your property.
Although you could try to lay stepping stones directly over grass, which speeds up the installation process significantly, this method often leads to a poor result over time. Even heavy paver stones will eventually slide or shift on top of the grass. Digging into the ground and following the steps we listed is the best way to lay stepping stones for a long-lasting result.
Recycled asphalt is a durable choice for a driveway, but doesn’t have the same appearance and low maintenance as standard asphalt. For long driveways in rural communities, recycled asphalt can make a great choice. Recycled asphalt is 20% to 30% percent less expensive than standard asphalt and is better for the environment.
