Get matched with top paving pros in Rush City, MN

"I had been looking for someone to install a driveway for me. I purchased my home in December, 2012 and after two winters removing snow from a gravel driveway, I wanted to have it paved. I obtained two concrete bids and wanted to get asphalt bids to compare. Minnesota Blacktopping was the fifth asphalt company I'd contacted for a bid - and the first one to respond.
After getting a verbal commitment to provide a bid, it required a second call to have them show up and take measurements. While out taking measurements I was given a description of the work that would be done and was told they had other projects that would be done in the area and they'd group them together and do them all at the same time. I was given an estimate as to when that would occur if I wanted to move forward after receiving the quote.
After being told I'd get a written quote, it took an e-mail reminder to have the quote appear in my mailbox. The proposal came with a signature line that also said and quot;acceptance,and quot; so I e-mailed a signed scanned copy and confirmed I wanted to move forward. No down payment was requested.
The next contact I received was a phone call saying they were on the way to my home to do the preparation work for the driveway, would be installing the driveway the next day, and wanted to know if I could meet them when they arrived. Luckily my wife was off that day and was able to meet them when they arrived.
I was able to take the next day off work to be there when they did the installation. They showed up at 7 a.m. and were done by 9:00 a.m. They did an excellent job. The workers were professional and accommodating. I didn't realize they were going to show up so early and hadn't had a chance to move my cars to the road yet - but they made room for me to do that and waited until I was done.
The driveway was exactly what I wanted and it looks fantastic. We didn't drive on it for three days and have had no problems. The driveway was shaped to run rainwater to the low point of my lot and works perfectly. The finish work where the driveway meets the concrete sidewalks and garage openings was done with great care and looks and feels great. The quality of materials and workmanship were excellent. I would highly recommend Minnesota Blacktopping and would not hesitate to use them again.
I ended up with a great driveway from a company I would call first for any future work. The issues I had with communication and expectation setting were minor and did not affect the quality of the end product, but did affect the ratings I gave for responsiveness and professionalism.

"I hired Earthworks last summer to dig out part of my hillside and create a larger turnaround area for my driveway, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. They did excellent work from start to finish. The team was friendly, polite, and incredibly easy to work with. They took the time to explain my different options clearly and helped me choose the best approach for the space. They were also very flexible with scheduling and paid close attention to weather conditions and rain so the project could be done safely and without issues. I really appreciated how considerate they were of my neighbors as well—they made sure the heavy equipment didn’t damage the road and kept everything clean and respectful."

"They did what they said they would do,"

"We had a different landscaping company come out and install "flagstone" over our existing limestone path. Not only did they do a horrible job, they also destroyed our drain tile which I had flagged for them and left large ruts in our yard. It took them 6 weeks to come back and "fix" the path and "repair" the drain tile. The path looked even worse than it did before the "fix", I had to run the skid steer because the two guys they sent out did not know how to operate one, and they had to use drain tile I had on site because they didn't bring any. To top it off, when they replaced the drain tile, they didn't use a union on one end, and just set the pipe up next to the old pipe, and for some reason they took the sock off as if they did not understand what it was for! It was a complete nightmare. Enter Lester and his crew. They came out, and even though the stones were not the right material for a flagstone path, they were able to take them all out and reuse them to create a beautiful path. Choosing the right company is so important for any project, and I can confidently say that "In The Rough Stonework & Landscaping" is the right place to hire for any of your stone work or landscaping needs! We will be using them again in the future!"

"John and his crew cleaned up a lot of brush for us and also brought in some rock for our driveway. John was very meticulous about the work he did and went above and beyond what I asked him to do. Very courteous and price was very reasonable. I would recommend this company to friends."

"Reasonable price and on time Delivery."

"Where to even start. This company is leaps and bounds ahead of the competition. I recently hired Gervais Contracting to install a new driveway and handle the dirt work for a new garage. The proposed shed pad area was about 8 feet lower than the house grade. I consulted five other excavation contractors, but they only wanted to raise the grade by 1 foot, which would have caused significant water problems in the future. When Zach from Gervais Contracting came out, he expressed his concerns about this approach. He explained that simply raising the grade by 1 foot would lead to tremendous water issues. To confirm, I had an engineer visit my house, and he agreed completely with Zach's assessment. Zach then worked his magic, finding the appropriate grade to ensure maximum watershed away from the new building, eliminating any future water problems. Zach was the only contractor out of the five who provided the right advice and solution. Despite being a young guy, his knowledge in the industry is unmatched. From start to finish, he was easy to communicate with, always responsive to my calls, and incredibly knowledgeable. When the project was completed, my driveway was smooth as glass, and the shed pad was perfectly level and ready for concrete. If I could give 100 stars, I would. This is the best contractor I have worked with in my 56 years. Thank you so much, Zach, and your crew at Gervais Contracting! Incredible services that you guys provide, Hire these guys even if they have the higher price because you cannot beat the level of knowledge, honesty and above Quality work they provide !! You will not regret it"

"They did a great job.  We were very pleased with their service. We asked them if they would come back out and treat our yard and they did that also.  Very nice people."
