"Dakota and his team were professional, polite, did a great job in prepping and coating the driveway. I was really impressed and exceeded my expectations. Would hire again. Thank you team!"
"We also hired Jose Landscaping for roofing as well as some landscaping. Not all at once but throughout time after the purchase of my home. They did great quality landscaping work. I will continue to use Jose Landscaping to improve my house so we can make it a HOME."
"My driveway has a flat section at the top and a steep narrow section going to the road. The flat part came out very well and is a big improvement. Aaron Williams was upfront about the possibility that the steep section would be difficult to work with. The chip seal did not take very well and the loose gravel is a problem. We ended up sweeping the loose gravel to the side in order not to slip when driving. It looks much better than it did but this was not the result we had hoped for. My driveway is 40 years old which is part of the problem."
"I had some very specific requirements for my 12'x23'x11' awning. I also had to postpone the project 2 months. But, Lucio and crew built the awning to my requirements exactly. As soon as material was available, they were out on the job and finished in a day. It even rained a little on them, but they got it done. Will be giving them a call when I'm ready to do the next awning."
"After four interviews, Hill Country Road Paving was the only one that included fixing some weak spots on my asphalt driveways. (14,500 sq ft in total). They did a 2 course chip seal in 6 hours with the edge asphalt remediation. Their crew was respectful to the extent that my neighbor told me she was impressed by their assurance that they wouldn't block her driveway during the effort. Not only did they do great work expeditiously but, at a cost less than the other three contractors. I bonus them $100 per worker on top of their charge. I would definitely use them again."
If you notice minor cosmetic problems with your driveway, you should seal it. Look out for cracks and holes on the surface, faded asphalt or concrete, and stains from oil and other chemicals. Replacing your driveway may be necessary if you’re dealing with significant problems—¼-inch cracks, large potholes, and puddles from drainage issues. The cost to install an asphalt driveway typically ranges between $4,200 and $9,000, significantly more than resealing. Consider talking to a professional to discuss whether resurfacing your driveway—a midway project between resealing and replacing—is a better option for you.
Several materials are suitable for steep driveways. Gravel and crushed stone are affordable options that provide good traction. Permeable pavers—such as plastic, rubber, or concrete—filled with gravel or crushed stones are also excellent, as they allow water to drain without causing erosion and perform well in ice and snow. Another option is resin, which can be coated with an anti-slip finish and helps prevent puddles. For added stability, you can install a retaining wall to prevent pavers and gravel from shifting over time.
Asphalt driveways last anywhere from 15 to 30 years, but if you don’t stay on top of repairs, you may find yourself spending extra to replace your driveway before its typical lifespan. Stay on top of repairing cracks and potholes by routinely inspecting your driveway once or twice a year. It’s a good idea to pressure wash your asphalt driveway at least once a year to keep it clean. Apply a sealer every one to five years, based on your climate.
Asphalt and tarmac are not the same thing. Traditional tarmac, short for tarmacadam, uses tar as a binder to hold crushed stone together. Asphalt uses bitumen—a byproduct of crude oil—to bind aggregate. Though tarmac was once a go-to for roads, asphalt has become the modern standard. And these days, most surfaces referred to as “tarmac” are actually asphalt. So, while the names may overlap, the key distinction lies in the binder—tar for tarmac and bitumen for asphalt.
Gravel is one of the few driveway materials that can handle rain the second it’s installed. Unlike asphalt, which needs days to set, or concrete, which requires weeks to cure, gravel is ready as soon as it’s compacted. It’s naturally permeable, allowing water to drain straight through—with no risk of pooling or surface damage. Gravel driveways are one of the most affordable, at $1 to $3 per square foot, and can also last upward of 100 years.
