Park Paving paved my driveway and my neighbours driveway at the same time in August of 2020 - driveways are adjoining. When given the quote, he offered to make the centre between the driveways lower to accomodate any rainwater or melt coming from either home. We reminded him again the day they came to do the paving.
As soon as the job was complete my neighbour and I noticed that it was not lower in the centre. My entire driveway was lower. I called Park Paving to come back to see what a mess I have in the fall and he agreed it was all coming my way but made no offers to correct the situation. They hadn't done a water test after paving to check for the drainage he admitted.
All the rainwater or ice melt is running down close to my house to the front and under the cars parked at front. It is a hazard. I have already had one occupant of my home fall on the ice. I have used 8 bags of salt to keep a safe walkway to our cars. The water/melt is also pouring into my breezeway to my back door. The sealer on my stamped concrete breezeway is now all lifting where the water sits. He is not returning my calls. I suppose he is waiting for legal action. Please avoid this company. Untrustworthy

Hi there,
I am disappointed to hear that your are not pleased with the outcome of your driveway.
Your driveway had many aspects of leveling that had to be taken into account, considering your neighbour and yourself share the driveway. Your neighbour conservatively sits between 15" to 18" higher than you from one side to the other. Not to mention his detached garage which is located at the rear site is even higher than that which also creates added leveling issues. Your cement walkway at the rear also had to be low enough to accommodate to allow water to run off concrete to the driveway. Those two aspects plus basement windows, side doors, concrete walkway, concrete curbs, garage floors and retaining walls of which you and your neighbour share was all taken into account.
Unfortunately, there are many complexities of elevation. However, as a professional in my field we would have to say your driveway, with all its different leveling issues, resulted in a job well done. I would also add only the best virgin materials were used in both aggregate and asphalt applications and only up to date high compression equipment was used for your driveway.
Although pleasing everyone may not be possible, Park Paving Ltd did without reservation the best quality job in regards to materials and workmanship.
Sincerely,
Park Paving Ltd.
