Resurfacing the current asphalt drive, and adding a parking pad.
We needed to have our asphalt drive resurfaced, and add a praking pad alongside the existing drive. We also wanted a concrete walk installed next to our garage. We had several estimates for that job. Two of those estimates were left in our mailbox, and we never had contact with the person doing the estimate. Those were also the 2 highest estimates. We decided to go with Dave's Asphalt, after we spoke with Dave and Tyson. They were very pleasant to deal with, and they gave us a very fair estimate. We called them on Thursday, July 19th to schedule a time for them to begin the project. We asked if they were available the following week. To our surprise, they offered to start on Saturday, July 21st. Dave, Tyson and Jack came out @ 7:15 am on the 21st, with Clint coming in a little later. By 12:30, they had completed the first phase of the project. Carl, the concrete guy, came out with Tyson later that day, and agreed to begin the concrete walk on Monday, 7/23. Due to rainy weather on Monday, Carl came by to tell us that he would be able to start the concrete work Tuesday or Wednesday, weather permitting. He came out on Wednesday, and completed the job in about 4 hours. When the guys finished onSaturday, they had a problem in the area where the parking pad was to be built. There was a huge patch of clay then they dug out for the asphalt base. After they laid the gravel base and tamped it down, you could actually bounce on it. They disclosed the problem to us, and promised to do whatever it took to correct the problem. SUNDAY morning, Tyson and Jack shoed up with the bobcat and dug out the affected area, and filled it with material to correct the problem. On Wednesday, they arrived and put on the basecoat of asphalt. The crew had a couple of new faces, Leroy and John. And Clint was back. They said they would return on Saturday to complete the job. To our surprise, they arrived on Friday, about noon, and completed the job by 4:00. All of these gentlemen were very respectful of us and our property. It was a pleasure doing business with them. We would highly recommend them, and would not hesitate to contact them for any future projects. We do have one caveat. Jack, informed us that he had his own separate landscaping company, and asked if they was any landscaping that we needed done. When we told him that we had some tree limbs we would like cut down, he gave us an estimate of $300. We felt that this was extremely inexpensive for the work he agreed to do. He also said that if we found any other branches on any of our trees that we wanted removed, he would include that in the price. He took a down payment of $75. He never returned. We called his phone # a couple of times, and spoke with his wife. We have yet to hear back from him.
