I've looked at thousands of driveways since I started back in the 90's. Concrete driveways, asphalt driveways, interlocking paver driveways... even gravel driveways. I've seen some of the most beautiful driveways and I've seen of the worst driveways you could imagine! I started AllAboutDriveways.com because I got sick and tired of seeing people get ripped off by common driveway paving scams and gypsy asphalt scammers.
