"Larry and his crew were able to start immediately on my 500 sq ft pave stone patio with a built-in grill, natural stone fire pit, and sitting wall and they finished in a week. They were all professional, listened to my requirements, and provided feedback and suggestions. I recommend them and will call them again when needed."

"I am late with my review, but will not forget my experience with Mr. Garrett.  He responded to my email request for assistance with my flower bed.  The only thing I knew was I wanted hostas, but was unsure how to begin or what to do.  He gave me some options to consider and agreed to come by to assess the project area. He was very enthusiatic and you could easily see his passion for what he does.  He gave me multiple wonderful ideas of how to arrange the hostas, and how to incorporate colors with them and even drew them out for me so I coudl visualize it!  He patiently answered all my questions, listened to everything I had to say and did not make me feel pressured about anything.  He gave me a quote that was reasonable if I wanted him to do the job.  Which I really do, but unfortunately I wasn't able to take advantage of his services right then.  However, I definitely plan to to schedule his services in the early spring of next year.  I am very eager and very confident that he will turn my dead flower bed into a beautiful area that will bring curb appeal and compliment my home.  I look forward to his services and will update my review after it is completed.

"After having an extremely bad experience with another company that started my driveway and left it 1/3 done, then for 21 days gave me a run around about finishing it. My husband called these Whetzels Paving. They came gave a free estimate and was able to do the job a couple days later. It turned out great. I would recommend them to anyone."

"Work Randy's done has been excellant. The only problem for me, is that he has a very busy schedule and has to fit work on my house in when he has the chance. Based on work done so far I'd highly recommend him. In fact, I have.

"We hired Pyramid paving to pave our driveway. They worked with us in determining the schedule and worked with us in resolving a few minor issues. They did a great job. There was some grading work to be done which they did. Quality work all the way around. Would I recommend them? Yes. Would I use them again? Absolutely! They were great to work with."

Paving Services questions, answered by experts

Yes, pea gravel is good for driveways as long as your driveway isn’t built on a hill or any type of slope where it can slide. It’ll settle on a flat surface and create a suitable driveway over time, though some spreading initially will take place. If you're wondering how to make a gravel driveway in a high-rainfall area, using pea gravel could help you to cut down on costs needed for extra drainage solutions.

If your new pavers look dull or unclean, it is likely due to efflorescence, a chalky, white powder that forms when lime in the pavers gets wet. This condition often resolves on its own, as rain will naturally wash it away within about a year. For faster results, you can use a pressure washer to clean the pavers. Alternatively, consider using cleaning products specifically designed to remove efflorescence or applying sulfuric acid crystals.

You can pour concrete over asphalt if it’s in good condition, thick, stable, and well-compacted. Concrete is more durable than asphalt and can extend the lifetime of your driveway without having to pay frequent asphalt driveway repair costs or replace it completely. 

But this is best reserved as a temporary solution based on budget restraints, as asphalt requires more frequent repairs and assessments than concrete. Once that concrete top is poured, it’ll be harder to accurately understand what’s happening beneath that layer, which could lead to more issues.

You’ll first need to install a base underneath your pavers for extra stability and drainage. Otherwise, the pavers can sink into the ground, and you’ll have to reinstall them. Use a base gravel layer of 4 to 6 inches for walkways and 10 to 12 inches for driveways. Compact your gravel layer every 2 to 4 inches so it’s nice and solid. After you install your gravel base, apply a 1-inch layer of sand on top.

While blacktop is a type of asphalt, the terms should not be used interchangeably, as not all asphalt qualifies as blacktop. The primary differences are in their composition, production process, and ideal applications. Blacktop contains more stone than other types of asphalt and is heated to a higher temperature during production—300°F or more—while hot-mix asphalt is heated to between 275°F and 300°F. The ratio of bitumen (a tar-like crude oil) is a key differentiator, though sources vary: some state blacktop has less bitumen, making it less durable, while others claim it has a higher ratio. Due to these differences, asphalt is generally more durable and better for high-traffic areas like highways and streets, while blacktop is more suitable for playgrounds and residential driveways. For a driveway project, it is best to consult a professional to determine the most appropriate material.
