"Professional product and work. Prior to paving, installed a base that will ensure the driveway will handle loaded vehicles without damaging the paved surface. Other quotes I got only wanted to lay down a light surface of crush n run and pave over it. Tuckers layed and packed down 3 layers of various size stone then paved. I couldn’t be happier with them and their work ethic. Highly recommended and fairly priced."
"They were so professional and understanding of our needs. We were so blessed to have Tri-County Paving do our driveway. The owners of the company are genuine and actually care. We definitely recommend them."
"I would highly recommend Greg and his team. They did a great job for us. They took the time to understand what we wanted to exceed our expectations. The price was right and their materials were better quality than the competition. We needed them to help with several additional things as part of the process and they completed those steps promptly without us having to remind them. I could not be more pleased and would not hesitate to use them again."
"Fantastic experience!! Hood Exterior Services is very reliable and affordable! I honestly can’t recommend Austin and his team enough-he took my ideas and turned it into a beautiful backyard for us to enjoy for years to come! Thanks Austin and team!"
"James came out at set meeting time to give estimate. He gave me estimate while he was there. I agreed on price a few hours later and he said he could do the job the next day. Came the next morning and did 3 large repairs on the pavement and then seal coated the complete parking lot. Later striped the lot. 1 Day. Excellent job and customer service."
"It went great. Kevin is an 'owner operator' so I don't have to deal with a guy disconnected from the work coming it to check in once in a blue moon. He does stuff the right way. He communicates amazingly, we had some small 'additions' to the project that were fairly priced and didn't go much beyond the original quote (few hundred bucks on a 10k+ job). Also, these additions were caused by poor workmanship of my hardscapes company I had earlier, Kevin's team rebuilt part of their wall, re-supported the coping in one corner, and added a low retaining wall to the edge of the patio to keep the pavers from falling out into the yard (yes, previous company just had pavers end to grass with a plastic mulch bed edge holding in the patio). I was referred to Kevin through a neighbor and he has also completed a fairly large job at my neighbors house since (similar work to mine)."
"Chris and his team were very professional and explained exact what they were going to be each step of the way. I would highly recommend Chris Nance and his team for any Brick and Mortar repair or replacement!! Excellent customer service"
There’s no single best asphalt grade—it all comes down to where and how it’s used. Highways and heavy-traffic roads need something tough, like polymer-modified asphalt (PMA) or Stone Matrix Asphalt (SMA). Local roads and parking lots rely on the Performance Graded (PG) system, chosen based on climate. A PG 64-28 mix, for example, handles a broad temperature range while simpler, more cost-effective mixes are typically enough for residential driveways. The best grade of asphalt depends on traffic, weather, and your budget, which is why a professional’s input is always a smart move before making a decision.
While water-related pressure caused by poor drainage is one common cause of paver cracking, other factors can include ground movement beneath pavers, heavy loads and wear and tear over the pavers, and climates with constant freeze-thaw cycles. In general, pavers should be resealed every three to five years to prevent cracking.
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.
The most common causes of sunken pavers are poor base preparation and insufficient compaction. The problem could also be how your pavers were installed. If the soil beneath your patio or walkway wasn't compacted, it will pull pavers down as it settles. Additionally, using bare soil instead of making a paver bed with compacted gravel and sand can cause sinking over time. To fix sunken pavers, consider recompacting the base and addressing any drainage or erosion issues in the area.
In most cases, driveway repair is worth the investment. Your driveway is one of the first things people see when they look at your home, so repairing cracks, chips, and potholes can improve your home’s curb appeal and overall value. Repairing your driveway is also almost always more affordable than replacing it entirely—an average of $1,765 compared to the cost of replacing a driveway, which typically costs around $5,000.
