Tuck GC, Inc.

I highly recommend Tuck GC for all hardscaping projects. James “Tuck” Tucker is a hands-on owner who is involved in all aspects of his projects, including design and installation. Tuck helped me decide what to do with hardscaping in my yard, and after I decided to go with pavers for a renovated driveway he helped me select the pavers as well as stone for a new front walkway, even taking the time to meet me at Sislers Stone in Manassas to look at various options. Tuck’s crew, which includes father Santos and his son Sergio, also is fantastic. They are incredibly hard workers, and regularly worked 10-12 hour days on my project and even worked a full Saturday and Sunday one weekend because of concern about upcoming cold weather. Together Tuck and his team do incredibly high-quality work, which you can see in a video of my project and numerous other videos of Tuck’s projects that he has posted to his YouTube channel at the following link: https://www.youtube.com/@Tuckgcinc.

Tuck GC did incredible work for me on a high traffic road with difficult access. Driveway and drainage solution turned out great. Tuck was prompt and clear with communication throughout the project and Iâ m very pleased with the result.

Tuck was great to work with, from the estimate, to the contract, to the actual project. Professional and extremely knowledgeable on the work needed to get the driveway replaced. Had the old cracked asphalt driveway removed and Tuck poured an amazing concrete driveway to replace it. Worked efficiently and exactly as promised. Look no further if you need your driveway replaced, hire Tuck, you will be impressed I am sure.

Great professional! They treat you like family and get the job done quickly. Prices are in line with cost per SF for concrete. The reviews are all correct about Tuck's integrity and knowledge of VDOT regulations. Very trustworthy!

TL;DR Tuck is the man. He knows everything about VDOT aprons and driveways. The VDOT inspectors even know him and his reputation precedes him. Tuck's prices are in the mid-high range but you get what you pay for: excellent workmanship, incredible transparent service, and a driveway that will pass inspections. The Long Version: In one week, I interviewed at least 10 driveway contractors who each had very different ideas about what I could legally do to install a driveway in my front yard which at the time had 3 trees, a retaining wall, and no apron (curb cut-out). One contractor said I could do it with no permitâ wrong. Another said I needed to ask the countyâ also wrong. And another said I needed to talk to VDOT not the county but that was on me to take care of. After discovering that the last guy was right, I contacted VDOT and became overwhelmed by all of the paperwork I needed to prepare for a permit. That's when I Googled "VDOT apron" and the first search result was Tuck GC. I read a couple of their articles and knew that these guys had the know-how to help us get a driveway and they would take care of the confusing VDOT paperwork. When Tuck pulled up, he patiently listened as I explained what we needed. Then he shared what we could do, what we should do, and provided a few excellent suggestions to improve our initial ideas. We decided to add a 20' double-car pad and replace our existing walkway since it had no control joints (to prevent cracking). Tuck gave us a rough-estimate right away and came back the next day with a formal proposal. Let me be clear, Tuck was the first contractor out of 10 to provide a real proposal. One guy actually sent me a photo of his notepad covered in chicken scratch. Most never even followed up! Out of the 10 quotes, Tuck's was 4th most expensive. In other words, there were 6 cheaper quotes, and 3 more expensive quotes. But none of those 9 knew how to install a new apron legally. Only Tuck offered to help us from A to Z. With winter coming, we knew we were in a time crunch because no respectable concrete team would pour concrete in freezing temperatures. We really wanted to sign the contract but this felt like a large project for us, it was going to be expensive. Tuck was great in helping us adjust the payment into 4 deliverables. After working that out, we signed the contract and he fulfilled every deliverable. Tuck quickly got us through permit process, we hired a great tree removal team to take out our 3 trees, and then Tuck kept us in the loop as his crews caught up with their preceding jobs. We waited 2-3 weeks and at any point that we had a question or wanted to update him on tree removal, Tuck was just a text away. Finally, he got us an install date. He took extra care to remind us a day earlier that his team needed the street clear. Tuck's reminders helped us coordinate shuffling our cars and our neighbors' cars around. Installation lasted two days and it went smoother than he had promised. With zero rainfall, Tuck's crews wasted no time demolishing the retaining wall and walkway, then prepped our front yard. The three dump trucks picked up the waste on the first day, and the two concrete trucks with his team poured with precision on the second day. Now here we are on the third day and my wife and I had big, ridiculous grins on our faces as we walked about our new driveway. We can barely wait the 7 days to finally pull our cars in! There are so many more details to this process, if you want to know more all I can do is urge you to call Tuck GC. That guy knows his business.

We hired Tuck to widen our driveway, tear out the old sidewalk and install a decorative stone walkway in front and pour a concrete sidewalk around the side of the house to the back door. We found him to be a man of integrity, someone we could trust to follow through and do quality work. It was Tuck's design, not ours, that created the beautiful walkway. His crew is obviously experienced and it was amazing to watch them work so efficiently and with such skill. The masons who brought Tuck's design to life are also very talented and skilled at what they do. Tuck remained on sight through the completion of the pour and followed up regularly while the masons layed the stone. He also followed up a few weeks after completion to make sure everything was to our satisfaction.

Tuck was a pleasure to work with -- listening to us as we explained what we wanted to accomplish with our somewhat complicated driveway that slants down hill toward the house. He recommended ways to improve the slope and also install a drain in front of the garage door to capture the water that had previously been a problem. He worked closely with us on the design in which we had color mixed into the concrete for a subtle earth tone look. The crew was well organized, hard working, fast and neat. The various equipment and concrete trucks arrived like clockwork. The finished driveway is beautiful and exceeds our expectations.

Tuck GC is a company you can trust when you want quality work. Tuck, the owner-operator, has many years of experience in the construction industry and offers an exceptionally high degree of dependability, experience, and quality. I contracted Tuck GC to install a paver driveway and a flagstone patio (comprised of a full range of colored stones). High-quality materials were used throughout, and the craftsmanship speaks for itself. Tuck is very responsive and diligent when it comes to customer service. He communicated his plans and ideas to me throughout the project, as he was on-site the entire time, and nothing was left to my imagination. Both he and his crew paid particular attention to detail. His workers were punctual and friendly, and they took pride in their work. In my case, they even worked Saturday and Sunday to complete the job in record-setting time. The workmen did a thorough job of cleaning up and removing the debris during and after the job and took good care not to damage my property. I would highly recommend Tuck GC, and I plan to use them again for future projects. Friends and neighbors who passed by my house were genuinely impressed with what they saw. And the pricing for the project was competitive.

Tuck was a breeze to work with and the new driveway and expanded apron came out amazing. His crew is top notch and worked extremely hard during the two day installation. He communicated throughout the project and took care of all the permits through VDOT for me. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a new driveway and especially if they would like a new apron as they are a specialty of him and his crew.

Tuck and his crew are AMAZING. Our new driveway looks incredible. I am so glad we had it done. They were extremely fast as well. I chose Tuck because I wanted to have our apron redone as well to match the rest of the driveway. I think a lot of people don't want to go through the hassle of dealing with the DTA and getting approval. Well, Tuck handled ALL OF IT for me, from start to finish. His price was right on point too. We will definitely be using him again in the future and I really cannot recommend him highly enough
