I HIGHLY DO NOT recommend this…
I HIGHLY DO NOT recommend this “contractor” for driveway work. I hired him to replace my concrete driveway with pavers, and unfortunately the project was not completed to even basic industry standards. Multiple reputable contractors have since inspected the work and confirmed several major issues. The installation was done using incorrect methods and materials. Most notably, there is no proper base rock installed beneath the pavers, which is the primary structural component of a driveway. As a result, the driveway is already sinking, uneven, and developing a wavy surface. There are also issues with the layout, as the pavers were not installed in a way that properly locks them together. Job is only 2 months old. In addition, there was no permit pulled for the work, despite the driveway extending into the county right-of-way. He said we did not need one. Proper compaction of materials was also not performed, which further contributes to the failure of the driveway. The finished product is incomplete as well. Joint sand was never installed, and the driveway was never sealed, despite being paid in full. The concrete border is also missing on one side, which I was told was “not needed,” but have since learned is incorrect and necessary for proper structural support. Communication throughout the project was poor. There were multiple no-shows, missed appointments, and long periods with no follow-up, which made the situation even more frustrating. At this point, I am being told the entire driveway needs to be removed and redone from the base up. This company might know how to clean and seal pavers but has NO IDEA on how to replace a driveway!! I strongly recommend doing business elsewhere. This whole process has been a complete let down as we were excited for our brand new driveway that we spent a lot of money on. This company has taken that from us! If anyone would like to see pictures please let me know
