"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."
"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."
"Very professional, on time (early!!), great customer service. Price competitive compared to other contractors for asphalt paving and cobblestone edging of our very large driveway (over 4300 sf). Eric was very personable and kept his agreements. Lee showed up with a crew of 6 workers and really got the job done quickly and professionally. The only sacrifice is, with more than one worker working on the same line of cobblestones, they had to meet in the middle, resulting in some stones needing to be cut smaller to fit in along the edging. Not a real problem unless you're a perfectionist with a bit of ocd tendencies (me? lol). Otherwise it looks & works great. Expensive, but money well spent, a real upgrade in curb appeal."
"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."
"I used Bill’s Paving to replace my 42 year old asphalt driveway on June 19th. I called asking for an estimate and he came the next day. Personally I like to meet the people I’m hiring in person to get a feeling for them. Of the three contractors I called the others wanted to do estimate over the phone. They also took 3 days to respond. Bill’s price was competitive but the service was outstanding. Bill and his sons were prompt, courteous, and knowledgeable. And they have all sorts of machinery. And did all the dig safe requirements. They have greatly improved the curb appeal of my home. I would certainly call them if you’re looking for a paving company. My wife and I are thrilled we did."
"I hired A Plus Affordable Asphalt to pave my driveway in Taunton the affordable paving crew did a magnificent job I would hire them for any of your paving needs"
"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!"
"Customer Service was very good. He also kept me well. Informed as the Job moved on was very happy with his services would use again if I needed. Just an overall great experience."
After removing existing moss, consider using paver blocking sand to fill the joints. This specialty material hardens once placed and serves as an effective barrier against moss and weeds. From there on, regularly clean your pavers and try to keep them dry. You can also seal your paver as a semi-permanent solution — just make sure you reseal every 3 to 5 years.
A driveway's lifespan varies by material. Asphalt driveways typically last 15 to 30 years, while concrete driveways last longer, between 20 and 50 years. The longevity of any driveway is affected by factors like extreme temperatures, heavy traffic, and the quality of maintenance. Regular upkeep, such as filling cracks, resealing the surface, and ensuring proper drainage, can help extend its life. For gravel driveways, regrading to fill in uneven areas every year or two is recommended.
Paver driveways are durable and aesthetically pleasing, but they do have a few cons. For instance, paver driveways are often more expensive than asphalt and concrete driveways. They also make it easier for weeds to grow where the separate pavers meet up. They may also be more likely to settle over time.
Installing a walkway to your home can add value, as it can make your landscaping look more intentionally designed and boost your overall curb appeal. In addition, walkways can be installed with accessibility in mind, which can be helpful for those with mobility issues or who need a wheelchair.
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.
