Thank you for the information and checklist pertaining to asphalt choices for a driveway. Unfortunately there are none in this area on your list of recommended installers. I did contact a local company for an estimate but they have not returned my phone call. I was also searching for landscaping services on the web and found a company that does landscaping and concrete, so I called, he came to the house, I now have the estimate and I will be going with a concrete driveway instead of asphalt. Thank you again for the information.

Thanks for your insightful videos. We went with Mike Ottman Paving and are happy with the results.

I find your website very informative esp in the initial stages of researching driveways. you did not have any referrals in my area, only a partner network who gave me bbc exterior and paving. i had set up an appointment with mark, the owner but then later called to express some doubts as to whether i would need another asphalt estimate. he convinced me that his work was good and that we should still meet and if i approve the estimate that he could start right away?? i said i would send drawings but since we were meeting the next day, did not email them. he never showed up for the appointment or called. i should have been a bit weary about someone who commits to starting the next day. and did he not show bc i did not email the drawings? i know this was not your referral but home advisor needs better vetting.
