"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
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.
The ideal distance between stepping stones depends on your design preference. A general rule is to place them about 24 inches apart from center to center to match an average person's stride. Another common approach is to leave about 6 inches of space between the edges of each stone; this can be adjusted to fit the path's total length without cutting pavers. If you plan to plant between the stones, leave at least 6 to 8 inches of space to give the plants room to grow.
It takes recycled asphalt 48 hours to initially harden and up to 3 months to fully cure. It’s best to stay off of recycled asphalt for at least 48 hours, then you can walk or drive standard vehicles on it. Hold off on driving heavy trucks or equipment on it for at least 7 days. Allowing the surface to melt together and harden ensures that the surface stays durable and long-lasting.
Grass pavers are suitable for heavy foot or vehicle traffic, but they’re not as resistant as concrete or asphalt pavers.
The material that’s best for your private road depends on your property, the climate in your area, and your personal preferences. Gravel is an affordable option, but some homeowners don’t like how it looks. It can be a pain to remove snow from, and it requires more ongoing maintenance than asphalt or concrete. However, while these other options require less maintenance and make snow removal a breeze, they’re more expensive and will need repairs from time to time. Ultimately, you’ll have to choose the road material that suits you and your property best.
