"Ryan and his crew were amazing. The entire crew were polite, respectful and truly cared about us and the job. They payed attention to every detail no matter the size of the job. Before calling quality paving my husband and I called some of the larger companies that had been in business for twenty plus years and some never returned our call, one company even drove right by us as he turned the corner. We called him and never received a return call. Quality Paving is the company to call for your job. Ryan has the experience and equipment to complete any size job. Ryan is affordable, honest, caring respectful and truly cares about his customers and his employees. I wouldnâ t hesitate to refer Ryan @ Quality Paving LLC to any family or friends!!!! Thanks again Ryan & Crew."
"Eric and his crew did an excellent job and did everything I had read about paving with asphalt. I have asphalt done on other occasion and this was the best job I ever had done"
"Beausoleil Paving made what I thought would be a hard job, look very easy. Quality work, very reasonable pricing, and a finished driveway which gives me a feeling of pride every time I see it. Highly recommended!"
"Andrew and his team did an exceptional job enhancing the concrete deck around our pool. They also repaired damage to our driveway that had been left by another concrete contractor. From start to finish, Andrew’s communication was outstanding—he kept us informed before, during, and after the project. Most importantly, Andrew is honest, stands behind his work, and delivers on what he promises. If you’re looking for a reliable, high-quality contractor, I highly recommend hiring Andrew and his team. You won’t regret it."
"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 was very professional and prompt. Company response time is excellent. I had a concrete walkway repair that was done in a reasonable time and exactly as quoted. I would hire Valter again for other masonry work."
Outdoor kitchens get wet and are sometimes next to pools. To avoid accidents, go with a non-slip material like concrete, brick, or rubber. Avoid materials like ceramic and porcelain, as they are known to be quite slippery. Wood and composite flooring can be slippery if untreated, so make sure to stain or finish these materials.
The stones do not work well on uneven ground. If the stones are not buried into the ground and made level upon installation, they almost certainly will shift or crack on uneven ground. Additionally, rainwater or water from sprinklers can run under the edge of an uneven paver, causing erosion. In a freeze and thaw cycle, trapped water under the paver can cause the problem to worsen by shifting the stepping stones around. Use a bubble level to make sure the ground under each paver is as even as possible, even if the nearby ground is uneven.
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.
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.
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.
