"About a year and a half ago I had a bid for an asphalt driveway. When Norm came out, he read the site and suggested paving more than I had planned, and proceeded to offer a bid lower than I had thought. After one year I feel that Roads Paving over delivered. This spring they will be sealcoating my driveway. Were I to need subsequent work, they would be my first and only call Larry Martin"
"I had a great experience with Triton Property Specialists. They came out quickly and gave me a detailed estimate, and from the start they treated us with real care and professionalism. We ended up getting a great deal, and the quality of their work on our driveway really shows. You can tell they take pride in what they do. Very happy with the whole process and would definitely recommend them."
"Highly recommend NGL Pavingstone. Holly provided a detailed bid so no surprises with cost. She brought samples of materials to the house and kept in contact throughout the entire installation. Manual and his crew did a fantastic job, they showed up on time everyday, worked efficiently, and were easy to communicate with. They completed installation of approximately 90ft long (in three sections) x 4ft at highest point retaining wall, 10 ft pathway and steps in a week. They did a beautiful job dealing with elevation changes in the yard."
"My parent's roof was completed so efficiently, in half a day and no mess!! Value and excellent customer service from Near Me Roofing Company. Definitely would recommend to hire with no concern."
"Very well. Rome was very knowledgeable and experienced at the work. I believe helped to train me about my concrete needs and make good decisions on our needs. His work schedule is short. They started work the next week. They showed up on time and finished my driveway prep-and pour in less than 2 days. The crew is friendly and efficient. They put the removed driveway gravel on other low spots of our approach road with no extra charge. They only do work directly for customers so maintain schedule flexibility by not being a subcontractor. I recommend them and would rehire them. L. Stine"
"Island Concrete LLC installed a concrete driveway for me quickly (one day) and at an affordable price. The owner, Island, was present from start to finish to supervise and take part in the job. This was very reassuring."
"Jorge and his team provided top notch landscape and artificial turf installation. Even when the weather threw us a left hook with 2.days of snow followed by 3 days of hard rain they got the job done on budget with excellent craftsmanship."
"His professional approach to the job as well as work ethic was beyond any concrete job I have witnessed. I recommended three other neighbors to Eddie. They were even more satisfied upon the completion of their project"
Overall, a paver driveway is considered the easiest to maintain because homeowners are able to do driveway repair one piece at a time without impacting the rest of the driveway. Unlike paved options, paver driveways contain individual stones that aren't physically connected. By comparison, you may need to reseal or redo a full asphalt driveway if just one portion sustains a significant crack.
An ideal driveway gradient is between 2% and 5%. Anything lower than 1% or higher than 15% can cause problems for your car or property. A driveway with less than a 1% slope increases your likelihood of flooding and water damage, while a driveway with a 15% grade or higher can be too steep for safe traveling.
Like all driveway materials, asphalt can crack in the wrong conditions and with age. Many things can cause asphalt to crack, including shifting soil or settling under the foundation. Other common causes are driving oversized vehicles on the asphalt, tree roots, and using rock salt during the snowy season. Proper installation and sealing the driveway every 10 years can help prevent cracks.
Yes, recycled asphalt driveway costs can be substantially lower than new asphalt. With new asphalt costing between $90 and $190 per ton, this option can cost as much as 10 times more than laying down asphalt millings.
By grading and compacting the base soil, ensuring proper drainage and stability.
