Permit needs depend on scope and municipality: routine work rarely needs one, but driveway widening, boulevard work and retaining walls over 1 metre generally require municipal approval a reputable contractor handles.

Can companies pay to rank higher on YardQuote?

No. Rankings come from a Bayesian-adjusted Google rating plus verification boosts for a website, phone and photos, never payment. Across our dataset, 44% of rated driveway paving contractors clear 4.8★, so small ranking gaps are meaningful. Full details are on our methodology page.

How does YardQuote rank driveway paving contractors?

Rankings can't be bought. YardQuote scores each company with a Bayesian-adjusted Google rating, which weighs review volume so a 5.0 on three reviews does not outrank a 4.8 on three hundred. We then add small verification boosts for an active website, a listed phone number and real project photos. Across our dataset, 44% of rated driveway paving contractors clear 4.8★, so ranking gaps are meaningful. Positions update as new review data lands. Read our full methodology.

Questions to ask your contractor

What's the payment schedule — how much is the deposit?
Which parts are subcontracted, and who supervises on-site?
What does the itemized quote include for disposal and grading? Typical line items and costs
What plant warranty do you offer through the first winter?
