Assess Your Driveway Paving Needs

To begin with, you’ll want to evaluate the specific needs of your driveway, whether it be a new driveway installation, repair work or the replacement of existing paving.

Beyond that, you should identify any specific design preferences you may have, whether in relation to the materials used, design patterns or even the colour options.

Whatever the case, having as clear an idea as possible of what you need can help speed up the whole process. With that said, if unsure, don’t hesitate to chat with the driveway paving service about design options to see what might best suit your property and preferences.

Utilise MyJobQuote Online Directories

There are a few ways of using MyJobQuote to secure quotes from professional driveway pavers. One such way is with our online driveway specialist.

By using this online directory, you can evaluate the MyJobQuote profiles of various driveway paving services near you. When looking at different profiles, you should analyse the reviews and ratings of each contractor/service you’re considering, as well as images showcasing the quality of their previous driveway paving projects.

Verify Credentials

You’ll also want to ensure that the driveway paving services you’re considering are both licensed and insured. Licensing guarantees their qualifications, whereas insurance can protect you and the driveway paver should an accident or property damage occur during the paving process.

You should also take this chance to request references from previous clients of the driveway paving services you have in mind. These references will also help you in making a more informed decision.

What Can Driveway Pavers Do?

Here are some of the jobs driveway pavers can offer: *

  • Adding a brand-new driveway
  • Replacing an existing driveway
  • Driveway repair work

*It’s important to note that some driveway pavers will offer some of the above tasks, and others will provide all. Furthermore, the above list is not an exhaustive list, meaning that some shower fitting services may provide tasks not listed.

Request Multiple Quotes

Instead of using our online driveway specialist directory, you may want to consider utilising the MyJobQuote quote form.

Whatever the case, you’ll want to secure detailed quotes from several contractors/companies for your specific paving needs.

In order to use the MyJobQuote quote form, take the following steps:

  • Select ‘I need a job doing’
  • Choose ‘None of the above’
  • Click on ‘Driveway Contractors’
  • Choose the type of driveway work needed (e.g., Stone/concrete, tarmac etc.)
  • Fill out the ‘Tell us about your job section’ and click continue
  • Complete the remaining steps and submit your application
  • Wait to receive quotes from several driveway paver companies/contractors

Once you’ve secured several quotes, you’ll want to compare the pricing, services offered and any special promotions or discounts available.

Seek Recommendations

Along with using either our online driveway specialist directory or MyJobQuote quote tool, you could seek recommendations from people in your life. Along with asking friends or family members, you may want to ask neighbours or colleagues for their suggestions.

Discuss Paving Methods and Techniques

You’ll also want to inquire about the paving methods and techniques of the different driveway pavers you’re considering specialising in (e.g., concrete, gravel, asphalt, interlocking pavers, etc.).

It’s also a good idea to ask each service/professional about their experience with different types of driveways and their approach to addressing particular paving challenges.

The main purpose, of course, of discussing their paving methods and techniques is to ensure the driveway pavers on your list of considerations are suitable for your specific driveway paving project.

Confirm Availability and Timeline

Next, you should make sure the number one preference driveway paving service you are considering offers schedules that align with your project timeline. This is particularly important if you have particular deadlines or events at your home, such as a night in with friends.

It’s also important to discuss the estimated duration of the paving process. Once your number one preferred driveway paver offers an availability and timeline for you, you can move on to the next section.

However, if your number one preference doesn’t offer availability and timeline for you, you may want to move on to your second and third preferences or re-schedule for another time your main preference.

It is important to note that delays can happen, so you should keep this in mind. However, this is generally unlikely to happen. It’s also unlikely that your top preference will offer a good timeline/availability for you.

Clarify Service Terms

Now it’s time to request a written service agreement from the driveway paver you’ve decided to hire. This agreement should outline the pricing, payment terms, scope of work and any applicable guarantees or warranties.

Also, it’s important to clearly communicate your expectations with regard to the sort of driveway you’re after (at least in terms of the final appearance and functionality). Your expectations should be clearly laid out in the written service agreement, too.

Monitor the Paving Process

It’s a good idea to (within reason) stay engaged during the driveway paving process along with periodically checking the contractor/team’s progress.

Don’t be afraid to raise any questions or concerns you have, although it’s best to raise questions/concerns either before the work begins or when the contractor/team is on a break unless, of course, it is urgent.

You should also raise any unforeseen issues that may occur during the paving process (e.g. grading problems or drainage considerations).
