"Steve has been an absolute pleasure to work with! I came across his services by chance through an Instagram ad, and I’m so grateful I did. He reached out within an hour of my initial inquiry, and we’ve been in regular communication ever since. Having recently gone through an interior remodel, I can confidently say I wish those contractors had even half the communication skills that Steve demonstrated. He was transparent about what could be done within our budget and made sure we stayed on track financially. The entire project was completed within just two weeks, and the results exceeded my expectations. I couldn’t be happier with the experience and would highly recommend Steve to anyone looking to upgrade their lawn!"

We're a well established business with over 25 years of unmatched expertise. Customer preference and priorities are always first. We're very timely with our work and never lose attention to detail.
"Wouldnâ t recommend this company to my worst enemy. Not sure where to beginâ ¦ our so called PM allowed his crew to dig a hole in our backyard and put the rebar in all while a hurricane was about to hit. We raised our concerns and the PM informed us that he doesnâ t pay attention to pending weather conditions. No concrete was poured prior to the storm hitting which wouldâ ve protected our investment, instead we watched as the walls caved in and the hole filled with water and mud which left the rebar with nothing behind it. This incompetence set the project back over a week and the workmanship was sloppy playing catch up. The employees spent a good portion of their day being unproductive and unprofessional. As you can see from one the attached pictures that one of their employees took time out of their day on our dime to play artist and draw a nice flower in the wet cement. Again, we addressed our concerns with the PM and was immediately accused of doing this ourselves. Midway through the project there were days when one their employeeâ s kids showed up unsupervised to work. The work site was kept a mess with property used as storage. Shortly after the paver deck was completed they had workers show up to clean up a pile of plywood and other lumber which was in the way of our fence being reinstalled. My wife was speaking with one of the workers and he began to argue about completely removing the trash from our property. At this point she broke away from the conversation so I decided shortly thereafter to review our security camera footage to witness the exchange at which point I overheard the gentleman call my wife a B**** as he walked away. There was no effort to smooth the concrete surface prior to applying the pebble tech surface which caused the finally product to turn out with a lump and wavy surface. There is an actually indentation on the sun shelf which was caused by one of their workers walking in wet concrete and again not going back to smooth out the surface. AGIAN, we raised concerns regarding the quality and was actually told that the uneven surface was INDUSTRY STANDARD, which came directly from their QC employee. Towards the end of the project being completed we discovered that their workers had been using our property as a urinal behind the shed. As you can see from the attached pictures the fence was stained yellow. I can keep going and going but Iâ m done investing any additional time with these people. One of the truly sad parts is that we were never offered an apology nor did any from their company take ownership for any of the mistakes. So in the end if you wanna hire a company that is completely unprofessional, unethical and incompetent then hire them. Iâ ll leave it at this quote directly from our PM, â we dug a hole in your backyard and filled it with water, what more do you wantâ ¦â"

Yes, paver driveways are a worthwhile investment. They offer lasting durability and enhance curb appeal. While standard concrete may cost less initially, paver driveways provide superior performance over time with increased resilience and design versatility. Your driveway installation pro can help you choose options that fit within your budget to optimize your project costs.
Most paver driveways last between 30 and 50 years. The lifespan depends on the materials used—permeable pavers last 20 to 25 years, while cobblestone can last up to 75 years with proper care. Ask your driveway installation pro for maintenance tips to help maximize the lifespan of your paver driveway.
