"DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY They made a mess out of our driveway and has refused to come back to fix it. What should look like a new driveway looks like it has been patched for the last 30 years. We have tried for nearly two years to get this fixed and now they tell us it is out of warranty."

My affinity for stonework began at an early age. Growing up in New England I often witnessed many examples of quality stonework. I began working with stone in my early 20s with a landscape contractor in central Massachusetts. Without having the luxury of an apprenticeship, I learned the trade through many books and established my own style. I began working for other stone masons when I moved to the Asheville area. The many different projects I worked on included large scale renovations of hiking trails to small scale renovations of flower beds. These projects gave me a wide base of knowledge that have broadened my understanding of stonework. With this experience I started my own business Stonesmith. We specialize in traditional stone laying methods including retaining walls, walkways, staircases, fireplaces, chimneys and more. I knew early on I wanted the quality of my work to match the eternal nature of stone. In New England, if stonework was done improperly, you would find out as soon as winter had thawed. It is with that mentality that I build a solid investment with stone. Received the highest score ever given for the initial certification by the DSWA by instructor Sean Adcock Member of the Stone Foundation http://www.stonefoundation.org/
"We recently had some work done by Matt Smith and his crew. We would be happy to recommend him for any stonework you could want. Mat’s crew of five or six men are a wonder. They are hard-working, obviously very strong, and take great pride in the quality of their work. They will take time to answer any questions you might have, and they are thoughtful, polite, neat and tidy, and know their jobs. The stone patio they made for us is beyond anything we could have hoped for. At the end of the job they did a thorough cleanup and left our place neat and tidy. I might mention that Matt studied with Tomas Lipps, the founder and editor of Stonemasonry Magazine and one of America’s finest stone masons. It’s no wonder that Matt is in demand. My final bit of praise is in regard to the cost: it was quite reasonable— I’m happy to say. I wish we had another job for Stonesmith to take on."

Extending a driveway costs between $800 and $3,000 on average, with most homeowners paying around $1,900 for the completed project. This price range reflects variations in materials, size, and complexity. Factors such as excavation requirements, material selection, and your property's specific conditions will determine where your project falls within this range.
A driveway extension can enhance your property's value, particularly in neighborhoods where parking is limited. The improvement offers practical benefits that appeal to potential buyers, though the exact return on investment varies. In some situations, particularly when the extension is disproportionately large compared to the home or doesn't match the neighborhood aesthetic, it might not add significant value.
Permit requirements vary by municipality, but extensions that connect to public roads often require official approval. Many local governments regulate driveway width, drainage requirements, and setbacks from property lines. Consulting with your local building department before beginning work helps ensure compliance with all regulations and prevents potential fines or required modifications.
Proper drainage is essential for maintaining your driveway's structural integrity over time. If you notice water pooling around your existing driveway or erosion along its edges, incorporating drainage solutions into your extension project is highly recommended. Effective water management prevents damage from freeze-thaw cycles and erosion, significantly extending your driveway's useful life.
Your driveway extension installation timeline varies based on project complexity, but most extensions require several days to complete. The process includes initial planning, obtaining permits, site preparation, material installation, and curing time for certain materials like concrete. Weather conditions, contractor availability, and unforeseen site issues can all affect the completion timeline.
