"We hired Roads Paving to replace our aging, 1200 square foot asphalt driveway. Their bid was lower than a competitor. The driveway is tightly compacted, smooth, and looks great. The work only took around 4 hours from start to finish, including removing the existing asphalt and sub-base. Norm, his crew, and office staff were extremely courteous and helpful throughout the entire process."
"They did an excellent job on the foundation repair which is solid and dry they also done the paving work which was necessary it came out really smooth and a really nice finish I would highly recommend this company!"
"Boyd did the job right! I really felt like he had our best interest in mind with his ideas and experience. I would 100% recommend Boyd for your sidewalk, stairs and driveway project. Jim"
"I called Tad from American Rose Garden last spring to discuss options to bring our lawn back to life as it was not looking the best! Tad arrived on time and was very easy to talk to. He was polite, personable and knowledgeable. He informed us of the pros and cons to option 1) re-seeding the entire lawn and option 2) laying sod. He kindly costed both methods out for us to help in our decision. After some consideration, we decided to have new sod laid and have the instant gratification of a nice lush green lawn. At the same time, we also had Tad and his team clean up the front and back yards, lay down fresh mulch and put in a few new shrubs. Tad’s team were polite and hard-working and they transformed our yard beyond recognition. Tad was rightly concerned with how our new lawn was going to get sufficient and regular watering, particularly with summer around the corner. He recommended getting an automatic timer and advised me about the type of sprinkler to buy and where to place it to ensure that all areas of the lawn would be watered. Tad later came back to install our new timer and help get our watering system set up correctly. Even though this took up most of his morning and involved a trip to the hardware store, he refused payment for this return visit. I was so impressed with this company from start to finish. Tad and his team were wonderful and I would not hesitate to recommend American Rose Garden to anyone looking to rejuvenate their landscaping."
"The workmanship is outstanding. They worked with us to create a beautiful patio. They came up with a way to remove a step between the two old patios, so we have one level patio. In addition they curved the sides giving the patio a flow instead of a blunt shape. They even ran our downspout under the patio to a drain hole, making the corner much nicer. They ran the border around the crawl space access and vent openings. The two steps they built add to the beauty of their effort.. The crew was very responsive, plus they gave us ideas (all were accepted) based on their experience. They also cleaned up every night so that we could use our driveway. We will use them again and will highly recommend them to all who need such work. We are so proud of their effort that we told them they could post pictures to their website."
"I hired this company to complete work not done by a previous company plus additional yard work. They are still working on my yard as there is a lot to do. They gave me a fair price for the amount of labor involved and Norberto's father is great with plants. I would recommend them to anyone."
"Sealcoat on my driveway turned out amazing. Jesse and his crew worked hard. Communication was excellent. I will definitely use them for future driveway repair/replacement."
"Seattle Rockeries did a fantastic job; Harry and Crew worked tirelessly to transform the look and functionality of my property. They removed a very tired old retaining wall and replaced it with a beautiful rock wall that will withstand the test of time. They also replaced the concrete driveway with awesome looking pavers. I will use Seattle Rockeries again without question. Thank you so much Harry and Crew!"
Asphalt is not a type of concrete. While both are a common type of pavement, asphalt is composed of aggregates (like sand and gravel) and bitumen; concrete is a mixture of cement, aggregates, and water. Here are some of the key differences between asphalt and concrete driveways.
It’s best to weigh the pros and cons of each material and decide on your priorities for your driveway. Gravel won’t be an appropriate choice if your driveway experiences heavy traffic. You’ll find that you need to level and top it off regularly, which could make the material a much more expensive option.
An asphalt overlay or top coat costs between $3 and $7 per square foot. For a standard, single-car driveway that’s 10 feet wide and 20 feet long, that’s a total of between $600 and $1,400. For a two-car driveway, you’re looking at a total of between $1,200 and $3,000.
Recycled asphalt is not better than gravel, but can be a good alternative. It is inexpensive, but not as low-cost as gravel, and doesn’t tend to last as long. Recycled asphalt isn’t as dusty as gravel and is more environmentally friendly. The black look can be something that homeowners prefer. No matter what, ensure you choose an experienced recycled asphalt contractor.
Professionals ensure a solid base and smooth finish, enhancing durability and appearance.
