Driveway

I have several issues with the driveway that was done at my home with this company. It is my biggest regret that I went with this company. Our driveway has cracks that go all the way up and down after less than 2 years of implementation and the company has tried to make some efforts to resolve it but overall it is cracking and it will not last very long.

Please do not book anything with this company. Please see below. This is all the way up and down the driveway and they are telling me it is because I am parking my car on the edge. The entire front area where our front door is located is also like this despite not having a car on the edge. They messed up by not putting the driveway flat and they have not taken responsibility.

It was cracking last year and he came and burned the driveway and thought this resolved it.

There are many other companies that were cheaper and much easier to work with. The only reason they came back to me after ignoring my texts was because I gave them a terrible review which I amended after they came back to try to fix the problem. I am returning to a zero rating to warn others.

Company Response

Thank you for your thoughts, We would like it for you to contact us because we have no record of a complaint and we have no idea which project you are referring to. By the sounds of it we cut back the grass to insure a proper gravel base and did an edge on a 45 Angle which is necessary to support the asphalt if there is no curb. But please get a hold of us to discuss further.

Thank you

Driveway

I originally gave this company a much lower review due to an issue that was left unresolved. When I hired this company, I asked that the asphalt be flush to the grass since we did not want to put any concrete sides that you sometimes see on paved driveways. The company rolled out the asphalt but they curved the sides instead of making it flush as I requested. It was very unappealing and dangerous as anyone could twist their ankle if they walked on the edge of the driveway.

When I complained the to the representative I had worked with, he ignored me until I put a negative review on homestars. The company tried to get my post down and I had to prove that the work was done to homestars. Fortunately the owner took action once they saw my review wad posted on homestars and their solution was to put soil and sod to hide the fact that there is a curve going down both sides of my driveway. It looks nice now but I will see if the sod takes and I am weary that it will. I still believe that the company should have ripped out their work and put new asphalt down my driveway.

Overall, the owner showed action and sympathy but the representative did not. The driveway asphalt is very good work but the ordeal to try to correct it was not ideal. I am still upset that the driveway is not fully flush to the grass as I have asked. I was told by the representative that you cannot get a driveway flush to the ground but there are several examples in my neighborhood where this is the case. Also I was promised by the representative that it would be flush so clearly a mistake was made in this case and rather than rip out the asphalt, they have put soil and sod to cover up their mistake.

Driveway

I hired this company to pave my driveway in the Fall of 2017 given the good reviews on this site. We asked that no curb be put down so the driveway should be parallel to the grass. Instead, they paved the driveway with a curve intended so it slopes into the grass. When I called to complain, I was told to throw grass seed so it will grow over. Given the curve of the driveway it will never grow properly and I am always afraid I am going to twist my ankle walking on the driveway. I would never recommend this company.
