Damico Paving & Sealcoating has been awarded the Angie's List Super Service Award for over 14 years.
"We had our asphalt driveway removed and replaced. The original work looked good - it was completed when we were not at home - bad timing on our part. After one year, we reported some cracking, sent pictures as requested and was told it was normal settling. Year 2, cracks were more pronounced, we sent pictures as requested, and were told someone would come our to look at it. We were ghosted several times, didn't receive return phone calls - it was very frustrating. Couldn't get past customer service to speak to anyone. No owner, no manager, no project manager. Long story short, they refused to "do business with us anymore" and wouldn't stand by their work. Pictures attached of year 3 - don't work with this company."

"I had met & showed my asphalt driveway to Ty Ward, head of TMW paving. After replacing & putting down a new asphalt driveway, one of my downspouts--from the roof--did not drain to the middle of the driveway. The downspout is near the house & has an extension--which I showed Mr. Ward on his initial visit; with the new driveway, the roof downspout extension exit now slopes back to the ground near the house, not to middle of the drive. (with my old driveway, the downspout extension exited to middle of drive.). I emailed a video to Mr. Ward; he called & I spoke with him. He was unwilling to come out & fix the issue without extra payment. I told him I was not satisfied with the end result of this situation. BTW, I had 4 estimates, of which Mr. Ward was the 2nd most $. I picked his business as he seemed to understand my concerns about drainage, which I expressed to him when we met to look at my driveway. (He took time to take measurements, assured the drainage issue would be OK, etc) I could have gone with a less expensive option, and in hindsight, perhaps should have."

"We had an oddly shaped asphalt driveway that narrowed quite a bit at the curbing. Our project involved ripping out the old asphalt, expanding the footprint a good deal, and paving. J&S did a great job of understanding what we wanted and gave us a fair quote. The demo crew did a great job ripping the old one out, backfilling with new gravel base, and compacting with no damage to existing lawn or concrete. The asphalt crew did a great job laying the asphalt, hand tamping edges, and compacting. Both crews were super friendly, explained everything they were doing, and cleaned up nicely. Driveway looks great, and we are very happy we hired J&S."

Gravel or loose fill paving installs, spreads or scrapes FAQs
The depth of decomposed granite depends on the load the surface will support. For a vehicle driveway, install decomposed granite six inches deep. For pedestrian areas, use three inches, and for decorative surfaces, one inch will suffice. Heavier loads require thicker layers to ensure stability, drainage, and longevity, while lighter uses can maintain their appearance with less material.
One cubic yard of decomposed granite covers 54 square feet when laid to a six-inch depth. This conversion is derived by dividing the volume in cubic feet by the depth in feet. The calculation is fundamental for project planning because it converts three-dimensional volume into the two-dimensional area of coverage. Due to potential settling and compaction after installation, pros recommend an extra 15% to ensure the installed layer meets precise design requirements and maintains robust stability over time.
Determining whether a base layer is necessary for decomposed granite installation requires careful assessment of your project needs. A base layer of crushed rock or gravel provides essential support, improved drainage, and enhanced stability. Utilizing a solid base improves the overall structure by absorbing weight, reducing erosion, and extending the life of the surface. Additionally, a properly compacted base layer minimizes shifting and settling, ensuring that the decomposed granite remains evenly distributed and effective over time.
