The driveway they constructed is unlevel, containing numerous dips and valleys. Despite initially raising my concerns and requesting them to revisit the issue, it took an excessive amount of time and multiple phone calls from me to prompt their response. Eventually, Larry from Cannon Patio and Driveway visited, but his solution was inadequate. He simply suggested sealing the areas where gravel was coming up, without addressing the sinking and discoloration of the driveway caused by regular vehicle use. They were initially hired to tear out my old driveway, regrade, level, and asphalt it. Their work was rushed and subpar. The regrading and leveling have failed, resulting in puddles forming on the driveway. Asphalt is already starting to loosen and come apart, which is unacceptable considering the amount of money I paid for their services. They provided a quote for the project, but when it came time to settle the bill, they charged a higher price. They claimed it was due to miscalculations regarding the amount of gravel needed. This pricing scheme is deceptive, and I regret not conducting thorough research on contractors before hiring them. Be careful and DYOR. Don't make the same mistake I made. read more

Larry came by to give an estimate for the driveway. His crew was ready in 2 days and got to work quickly. When they removed some sod on the side of the driveway, Larry asked if they could put it in my back yard. Larry also said his crew would compact it down and make it level. I told him he could do that. Big mistake on my end, not only did they do a horrible job of leveling, they also left pieces of asphalt in the sod, which ended up in my backyard as well. At that time I was also having my entire backyard redone. The paver company that was finishing there work saw the sod Larry's guys threw in the back and were pretty upset, since they had already leveled the entire backyard prior to this. As for the driveway, everything was going good until the roller would not start. Instead, Larry's crew used there asphalt compactor. It worked okay, but not the same result as a roller. Another issue was the Belgium block border joints. The crew tried to make it a little fancier with the cemented joints that protrude an inch over the top and sides. It looked nice at first, but 2-3 months later 50% of the protruding part cracked off. Overall rating (1-10) Crew: 8 Larry: 6 Driveway: 7 Backyard sod placement: -1 read more

We recently had the good fortune of discovering Cannon, when our driveway finally reached the point of nearly swallowing small cars in ever-growing potholes and no safe path to avoid them. Ours is a farm lane, stretching a good tenth of a mile between the road and our home, so it was no small task to repair. For ages, we'd kept putting it off and doing our best to just patch the worst holes by hand and occasionally asking a friend to scrape it as best they could with some farm equipment. At best it was a patchwork delaying tactic. At worst, it made countless delivery drivers hate us with a passion. Enter Charles and Cannon. Charles is a character and a whirlwind, as full of energy and stories as he is in expertise on road repair and paving. One thing he's not full of: let's say "blarney." From the initial discussion, he laid out a plan to not just fill and cover over the driveway, but regrade it so that water would no longer sit and pool, inviting further damage during winter freeze-thaw cycles. He spelled out the tar and chip surface he proposed, a ballpark timeline in which he expected to complete the multiple phases of repair and resurfacing, and a quote. After much consideration, we decided it was time to do it and do it right, so we gave Charles the greenlight. And he delivered. In spades. Areas where the forest had encroached into our old driveway were pushed back and restored. Additional material was brought in to regrade the road, roll it down and pack it to prepare for the top surfacing. Twice, because the lane was so bad the first round had to settle and pack. Charles himself handled the final regrading step to make sure the slopes were appropriate to direct water into areas where it could run off and leave the driveway clear. The final step of actually applying the tar and chips turned what was once a (barely) serviceable farm lane into something that could comfortably be described as a manor drive. See for yourself in before/after pics attached, but everyone who has driven in since has commented on how beautiful it is, along with how much more comfortable the drive up the lane is. Within a couple weeks of its completion, we had seven inches (!!) of rain over the course of a week or so. And true to Charles' promise, the water all ran to exit points and left the lane dry. The only exception was one spot where the area to which it drained couldn't handle that much water. That was on us, and with a bit of clearing to let it all run to a ditch, even the little bit that pooled right along the edge would now have plenty of room to fully escape down to the irrigation pond. We truly couldn't be happier. If you've been thinking about getting a lane or other driving/parking area resurfaced, definitely give Cannon a call and ask for Charles. Your driveway will thank you. read more

I don't know where to start. Larry visited my home to give me an estimate to extend my existing patio. The price was right and they could start in a timely manner so I hired Canon. Canon arrived the begin work, as promised, and started to remove the grass where the patio was going to be installed. I told them to be careful not to puncture the irrigation lines and I even marked out the sprinkler heads so they knew where they were. Your guessed it..they punctured the lines in two places and I had to hire my irrigation company to fix the damage, at a cost of $503.00. Larry indicated they would reimburse me and at this time they have given me $300 back. Larry has promised to give me the rest of the money however he has told me that he was coming multiple times but as of now, he has never showed up with the balance. My backyard is in a slope so it was important for the patio to be level on only slanted slightly away from the house for water to drain off. After the patio extension was installed, which looked nice, and after I paid Canon, I started to put furniture back and when doing so, I noticed that the table wasn't level and when I sat in a chair, one end of the patio was much lower than the other. I don't think a level was ever used. When dealing with Larry about the irrigation problem, his dad Jimmy arrived to survey the complaint of an uneven patio. He agreed the extension wasn't installed correctly and needed to be redone. I paid Canon to install the patio correctly the first time and not have to pay them twice. Jimmy is Larry's father and Jimmy said he will redo the patio while only charging me labor as no other materials were needed. As of now, Jimmy promised three times to stop by to tell me how much it will additionally cost to fix a patio that wasnt done correctly the first time however is has never shown up. Not surprising. If you need a patio or driveway you certainly need to deal with a company that stands by their work and can be trusted. Canon is not that company. read more

I had Cannon Driveway & Patios recently replace my steps, walkway and patio pavers and also add Stone Veneer on the exterior of my property. Jimmy and his team did an excellent job, were truly professional and treated my property as their own. They were incredibly detailed oriented, and made significant progress on a daily basis. They completed the project early than expected, with incredible details.. I love the fishbone design they did with the pavers in my patio backyard. These guys are experts and I would highly recommend them for your project! Pedro from Glen Ridge! read more

Amazing!!! We had several quotes to have the driveway redone and to have drainage put in. Jimmy was simply fantastic from the moment we met him and he was so unbelievably knowledgeable about what our actual issue was with regards to why our garage kept flooding every time it rained regardless of how heavy the rain was. He was fair and honest from the very beginning and we immediately hired him for this project. The crew - what an outstanding crew he has very responsive and respectful and friendly they did an amazing job and took the time to explain the pitch of the drain and tested the drain to ensure the water would flow correctly (very impressive) Larry (the son) was incredible such a nice kid very polite professional and hard working getting right in and helping the crew do such a remarkable job. We were so impressed by how efficient and stress free this project was that we immediately hired them again to complete a walkway project that we have been putting off for over 4 years. Jimmy gave some fantastic recommendations that was exactly what I envisioned the walkway to look like and the project started the very next day. Jimmy and the crew at Cannon are such a pleasure to do business with and I highly recommend them for there superior quality of work. read more
