Fuller Paving

What a shame. Croock. My. Driveway. Washed. Out. Watch out. For. Joe. Robbinet is the owner. And. Son. Will. Rins. It.

I have a ¼ mile long gravel driveway. One section of it consistently washed out with our spring and summer thunderstorms, leaving that section almost unnavigable. After re-​graveling three times, I decided a better solution was needed.
I contacted Fuller, and Joe Robinette, the owner of the company, came out to look at the problem. After some discussion on what was necessary and what I desired, he gave me an estimate on blacktopping 300 feet of the driveway.
About a week later, I decided to go ahead with the project, and scheduled Fuller. They showed up and went to work. First they smoothed out the deep gullies. Then they filled the 300 feet with fine gravel. This was smoothed and rolled. After that the blacktop was applied at 320 degrees with a paving machine. The paving machine also rolled and formed the edges and formed a small curb on the side of one portion to guide the water that flowed down the slope onto the driveway. The ends of the paved portion were blended in to the existing gravel driveway. The blacktop portion is at least four inches thick. I think this will probably last!
I had decided to extend the paved area by another 30 feet over what Joe and I discussed, but other than that the charge was equal to the estimate. They actually paved another 20+ feet beyond that, but did not charge for it. They even smoothed out the rest of the gravel driveway back to the street.
All personnel were friendly and professional. All in all, this was a good experience.
