"Jesse and his crew did an outstanding job on our old and ugly driveway. When he was done my wife wouldn’t let me drive on it….that is how great it looked. On time, good communication, and very reasonable pricing. I can’t wait to hire him for my paving."

"I went through two bids before Jerad looking to get our driveway graveled. My husband and I have a 20,000 pound truck and it was creating massive mud ruts into our driveway, tracking mud into the street. Jerad not only had the best communication and follow-up, but he also had the best pricing! Our consultation made me feel at ease as he showed me a couple areas that needed special attention that the other two did not even see nor mention. He was on time, affordable, wonderful to communicate with, and laid the gravel in a clean and very nice fashion. I got two compliments from neighbors just after he finished. Jerad was great and I will recommend him to anyone that asks about needing gravel work!"

"We have hired them twice, for trimming and pruning everything on our property, including a stand of 12 tall arborvitae, a large ground cover area, and several fast-growing evergreen trees. Their work was excellent and affordable, and they showed up on time and worked hard. We are very pleased with the results, and we will use them again."

"I was amazed by how quickly they removed the old driveway and then laid down the new. I didn't really want to have to replace the driveway but a hole formed right in the middle and forced the issue. They found the source of the sink hole, fixed it and replaced the driveway."

Asphalt Driveways questions, answered by experts

The answer to whether or not you need to get a permit before you start your driveway can vary widely based on local ordinances and the scope of your driveway ideas. In most urban and suburban areas, a permit is needed before building a new driveway to ensure that a homeowner is using safe materials and proper drainage practices while designing and constructing a new driveway. In some rural areas, a homeowner may not be required to apply for a permit. When building a new driveway on your own, always check with your local building department to see if you need to request a permit. When hiring a driveway contractor, verify that the right permits are being used before driveway construction begins.

While some areas may allow for a slope of up to 20%, this is often the maximum slope for driveways, with a few exceptions of up to 25%. Other regions may have a maximum of 12%, 15%, or 18%, so check with your local building department to ensure you’re laying a driveway that is up to code for your location.

The dimensions of a driveway apron vary based on local building codes, the width of your driveway, and the distance between the driveway and the road. On average, aprons range from 12 to 24 feet wide and 8 to 18 feet long. Typically, the end of the apron connected to the driveway matches its width—such as 10 to 12 feet for a single-car driveway—while the end at the street flares out to allow cars to turn in and out more easily. In some areas, you may not be responsible for the portion of the apron that extends beyond the sidewalk, but this depends on local laws.

Building a road on a slope requires careful planning and will normally require a drainage system underneath to prevent flooding and damage to the road over time. Your professional may lengthen your road to create switchbacks if the slope directly to your home is too steep, as there are regulations for maximum road slope. The drainage system will help prevent runoff from the higher side of the slope from damaging the asphalt or concrete. Keep in mind that building a road on a slope isn’t a good DIY project, as a lot can go wrong.

Three inches is a great thickness for a residential asphalt driveway that sees minimal to moderate traffic from cars, SUVs, and pickup trucks. However, a thicker driveway can better withstand the weight of a heavier vehicle, such as a trailer or a recreational vehicle. If you drive a heavy vehicle on a thin driveway, you risk cracking and damaging it.
