Installation timeframes vary based on driveway size, material choice, and site conditions. Most residential driveways can be completed within several days to a week. Paver installations may take longer due to the detailed pattern work, while asphalt driveways often proceed more quickly. We provide accurate timelines during your consultation based on your specific project.

Both pavers and asphalt perform well in New England climates when properly installed. Pavers offer excellent durability and easy repair of individual units if needed. Asphalt provides smooth snow removal and good freeze-thaw resistance with proper maintenance. Our team helps you select the ideal material based on your budget, aesthetic goals, and maintenance preferences.

Permit requirements depend on the scope of work and local regulations. New driveway installations typically require permits, while some repairs may not. Our experienced team is familiar with Peabody and surrounding towns’ requirements and can guide you through the permitting process or handle it on your behalf.

Proper maintenance extends driveway life significantly. For asphalt, seal coating every few years protects against weather and wear. Paver driveways benefit from occasional re-sanding of joints and cleaning. Prompt attention to any cracks or settling prevents minor issues from becoming major problems. We provide detailed maintenance guidance specific to your driveway material.

Many driveways can be successfully repaired rather than replaced, saving significant expense. We assess structural integrity, extent of damage, and overall condition to recommend the most cost-effective solution. Minor cracks, surface wear, and small settled areas often respond well to targeted repairs, while extensive damage may warrant replacement for long-term value.
