They look AMAZING! His ideas and recommendations were spot on as we have no experience with backyard paving. His prices are also very reasonable. We have future garden plans for him!

I called them…read moreimmediately after about my concern that they did not add enough winterizer chemicals but they said that's how they do it. The next spring my pool water was all black. It took me a week and 6 gallons of liquid shock to clear up. First time in 20 years this ever happened. Very pissed off at them.

I'm usually leery of 5 star reviews - These guys earned it…read more Task: Belgian block outline for front of property and driveway, replace 4 car wide driveway and extend asphalt to backyard under a fence plus brick a quarter circle garden area -- Performance: Excellent!! Price: Very fair The original call was answered promptly with a promise to send someone over for an estimate in 90 min. I received a call a bit later requesting permission to come a bit earlier - so courteous. We discussed what we wanted done and showed him the side fence which 2 other companies said we would need to remove. Glad we didn't. They never called or came back. LI Paving's Tom, told us they pave up to it on each side of the fence and tamp together. Tom told us how everything would go and we said anytime was good. He handed us a contract with all that was discussed fully written out and we each signed. NO PAYMENT REQUIRED UNTIL WORK DONE AND SATISFIED!! The following week, he called to ask if they could do it. Sure. They showed up Wed and dug everything up. The workers and family members work like clockwork. The belgian blocks went down beautifully. My neighbor came out to talk to Tom and immediately approved them doing hers also. They dug hers up next. The trucks were busy. The workers were busy and everyone knew their job so well. It was like watching an orchestra play. Tom and his son, Tom, worked the roller/pounder and the payloader. His son never thumped on the ground. It was so impressive. By the next evening, everything was beautifully done. We had a question the day after and he and a worker came and cut a bit off to extend our garden area. He and his sons have talent and a work ethic that can't be beat. Day 2 they were all outside at 6:30 am to clean the blocks and do whatever they were doing while I was sleeping, lol. At 8:00, the roller/pounder got going. I had done quite a bit of research after we spoke to the first 2 companies that we weren't comfortable with. Tom explained that it's all about having the right equipment, not leaving your driveway exposed for 2 weeks while you drive over the same spots. The entire driveway has to be graded and pounded equally. All my research bears that out. I almost wish I had more driveways for them to do :-))

What a shame. Andrew seemed all nice and helpful when we first got our driveway paved. My husband…read moredidn't feel comfortable giving him all of the money at once and Andrew assured him "if you have any problems, I'll come back personally and do whatever you need". What a lie. We haven't heard from him since, dispute leaving him multiple voicemails from both our phones and multiple text messages. Not even 3 years ago he did our driveway and we have a few holes in it, one being absolutely huge that we need to fix before the colder weather. Mind you, we gave this guy $10,000 to pave our driveway. Would never recommend them.

All work was done in a prompt manner. More importantly there were no hidden charges or problems. The outside of my house looks new, actually better than new. Is say he did exactly what I wanted, but in the beginning I didn't know what I wanted!! He helped me figure out everything from my front doorstep, to my lawn to my driveway. I came home from work the last day and everything was SPOTLESS!! My wife certainly appreciated that. Too bad there's only 5 stars, I'd give him 10. Thumbs up for the Calandro crew.
