"Trevor and his crew had come and scoped the job giving us an estimate. After we agreed they were chosen to the work, we were given a starting date. The crew showed up on time and worked for two and a half days to prepare the area for the patio extension and build a beautiful retaining wall for the area that set back into the hill. The stairs to the front door were replaced with newly constructed rebar and structural elements that will last for many more years than the original stair that only lasted 24 years. The new stairs now match the full width of the front porch which now looks much more symmetrical. The pad leading up to the stairs was enlarged and lengthened. They came back on the third day and the concrete was poured and finished. When they finished the work they made sure they cleaned up the job site and left everything as it was before. Trevor and his crew did an excellent job and we are so happy with how the job turned out and we highly recommend them for any work you may need completed."

"They installed a new roof, gutters, and downspouts for my house in late summer 2024. The quality was poor -- they had to return to fix their gutters as they were leaking. Now, the flashing is coming off and they are refusing to repair their sloppy work. The work did not even last one year, which is unacceptable. I'm concerned that as time goes by it will get even worse. They do not respond and do not seem to care. I cannot recommend this company."

"Horrible Experience. I contracted with Blackwood Group, LLC in July 2024 for a driveway demolition, wall build and decorative stamped concrete driveway installation. During the course of the project, representatives of Blackwood lied to me, screamed at me, hung up on me, used profanity directed at me, sent a crew that refused or didn’t know how to follow the engineering drawings or guidance from Versa Lok for the wall build, and generally made the project a miserable experience. The job was not completed in a workmanlike manner and to the quality that was described in the contract. The work stopped in August 2024. The quality of the work was so poor that Pete Blackwood (owner of Blackwood Group) came onsite to look at it and agreed that it needed to be ripped out and re-done. He agreed that he would do that. Pete spent the Fall of 2024 attempting to find a suitable contractor that could complete the job but was not successful. Additionally, there is damage that the Blackwood Group work crew caused to the front of our house - concrete spatter on front door, concrete spatter on the front trim (newly painted) around door, concrete spatter on the brick front of the house, and concrete spatter on a planter. Blackwood Group work crew also damaged our in-ground sprinkler system so that the zone near the front of the house doesn't work any longer. As of today, no work to fix the issues has been done. We had paid him $37600. He offered to refund $18650 and stated that he still wants to do the work and then when complete, we would pay him the remaining amount outlined in the contract. He did refund $18650. He informed us 2 weeks ago that Blackwood Group was for sale and he was in talks with a buyer. At that point, we told him that we want all of our money back. Pete has agreed to refund the balance back to us, but has yet to refund us. He still owes us ~$19000 not including the legal fees that we have incurred because of this situation. In summary, I DO NOT RECOMMEND."

To calculate a preliminary budget, measure your intended driveway area in square feet and multiply by the per-square-foot rate of $18 to $50. Remember to include additional expenses for site preparation, base materials, and labor costs, which vary by location and property conditions.
For most residential projects, the total falls between $8,600 and $24,800. To receive the most accurate estimate, request detailed quotes from at least three reputable contractors and compare their scope of work.
Cobblestone significantly outlasts asphalt in terms of longevity. While asphalt requires replacement every 15 to 20 years, properly installed cobblestone driveways can remain functional for many decades with appropriate maintenance. The individual stone structure allows for simple replacement of damaged sections rather than complete resurfacing. Though the initial installation cost exceeds that of asphalt, the extended lifespan and reduced long-term maintenance requirements often provide better value over time.
A well-designed cobblestone driveway enhances property value through improved curb appeal and perceived quality. Prospective buyers often recognize the premium nature and durability of cobblestone installations. While the upfront investment is substantial, the distinctive appearance and exceptional longevity frequently justify the expense for value-conscious homeowners.
When coordinated with complementary landscaping and exterior elements, a cobblestone driveway can become a standout feature that distinguishes your property in a competitive real estate market.
Cobblestone performs exceptionally well in fluctuating temperatures due to its segmented installation method. Unlike solid concrete or asphalt surfaces that develop continuous cracks during freeze-thaw cycles, individual cobblestones can accommodate slight movement without structural failure.
This resilience depends on proper installation with adequate drainage and appropriate base materials. A professionally installed cobblestone driveway with the correct foundation layers will minimize frost heaving and maintain structural integrity through seasonal temperature variations.
