For businesses with an asphalt driveway or parking lot, maintenance is an important reality. Without maintaining your company's asphalt, you'll end up with a cracked, faded, and a potentially hazardous surface that will reflect badly on your storefront or office building.

Are you putting in a driveway this summer during the warm construction season? If so, you're probably considering one of two options: concrete or asphalt.

We offer a variety of pavement sweeping options, and our crews are always available with state-...
Life is all about choices. Some choices are pretty small, and even in the rush of the moment, they don't seem terribly important. Strawberry gum or spearmint? Pen or pencil? Cheeseburger or salad? There are also bigger choices; what kind of car to buy, where to go on vacation, how to spend your free time. And then, at the top of the "life choices" totem pole, there rests the crown--the decisions that can change your life. Marriage? College? Career? These are the big issues, the choices that...
As human beings, it's our job to take care of things. We take care of houses. We take care of bills. We take care of animals, of each other, of the Earth, of our world; essentially, we take care of everything that requires protection and maintenance, and all because a little care now can prevent a big problem later. Consider, for example, what happens when we put off something important like taking care of the car. What started as a little problem can branch off like a tree, and before we...
Roads come in a lot of different forms. There are the loyal, reliable roads we drive on every day, communicating with us in lines of white and yellow. There are the paths that we take in our lives--and whether you take the one well-worn or the one less traveled by, these paths still make all the difference. Quieter than both of these, humbler and less noticed, are the modest little brothers: the walkways. We don't think about walkways very much. The fact that we can so easily take them as...
