Do not use this company! Positive reviews on here have got to be fakes. Their LLC is now not renewed/revoked by the state of Virginia and they are now operating in Maryland!! Beware no matter which state you're in. I usually hate writing negative reviews and especially don't like reading long reviews but I want to tell my story, I'll leave a short version and long version. Short: terrible communication, ruined yard, crushed edge of brand new driveway day of install and said "it will wear in", said weeds growing through asphalt 2 weeks later "was normal", driveway not smooth (bumps where they stopped between truck loads), definitely not the thickness they said it would be (3 inches even factoring in the rolling/compressing), weird areas of loose asphalt that are spongy when touched, valleys in driveway, sunken in and uneven areas, don't follow/acknowledge their warranty and ignore you. Their website doesn't work anymore (Virginia version) but the Maryland one does. They are ignoring any type of communication which they previously used prior to payment. STAY AWAY!!! Long: when we agreed on price I was told "I'll get you a date for install later today when I get back to office." I didn't hear anything for days and I had to reach out to see what was going on and still didn't hear anything for a while. Finally when I just texted them to just cancel and I'd find someone else (wish I had) they reached out saying they had bigger jobs and would reach out the next week. They eventually did schedule me and did show up, when they started removing my old driveway (recycled asphalt previously) they wanted asked if they could just pile it somewhere at my house so they didn't have to haul it away and save them time?!? Tried to talk me into making a weird and useless area down by the road but I didn't want it. Finally I just got annoyed and told them to pile it in an area in the woods and away from the grass since I just redid my front lawn and I'd move it around with my tractor later on. When I came out they just piled it all right in the middle of my grass and killed it and left rocks throughout yard... As they laid the asphalt and told me the rules to follow which stated not to drive on it for so many hours for curing and avoid edges to keep it healthy etc, then they drive on it with their vehicles and even the edges and smashed it all down. When asked they said "it will blend in eventually..." Then 2-3 weeks after the install there were weeds growing through the brand new asphalt. I reached out and he said "that's normal"....... I have a decently long driveway and they used a few trucks to do the whole thing. There are visually noticeable bumps and ridges where they started and stopped with each one, yet again that's normal according to them... There are areas that are about an inch deep "spongy" holes. You can push down and the whole area moves allowing water to get into and will quickly turn into potholes during cold/hot cycles. I reached out and he said he'd stop by but that was 3 months ago and haven't seen or heard anything word from them... Asphalt was quoted as 3 inches, I understand that means 3 inches laid down and then rolled/compressed. This driveway is not. When asked he said "it's that way for water runoff".... It's been 3 1/2 months since I last got any type of response from them. The will read my messages on Facebook and text message but will never respond. Save your money and don't fall for this company! read more

After meeting with and getting quotes from several paving companies in the Richmond/Chesterfield area, we decided to go with Edward Smith paving for our long gravel rural driveway. Johnny and the team did an excellent job and our driveway is perfect! They were quick, honest, and professional. Everything was organized and timed to the tee from grading to loading and removing their equipment from our property to avoid blocking our country road. Very impressed and would recommend them for any paving job! read more

We recently had our driveway repaved after admiring work they had done for several of our neighbors. From the time of the quote to the finished product, everyone was professional and courteous. We are extremely please with the work and would recommend them to anyone. read more

Responsible, honest, competent, and on time! Ed Smith Paving should be the only call you need to make. This company came in and repaired an incompetent job done by another paving company. The repair has withstood 2 years of constant use and looks brand new. They even came out and helped when they did not have to do it - what more can you ask of a company! read more

Edward Smith Paving was great! We called and had quotes from five paving companies. Edward Smith Paving came over to give us a quote in person, the quote was very reasonable and he was so nice and professional. After all the quotes, we had officially saved up enough for our driveway and called Edward. We called them last week to confirm pricing as we figured we would have to wait to get on their schedule. They were running a special so we were able to get a discount! They told us it would probably be next week when they could come out. That was fine. Then the next day, they called us were able to schedule us in THAT DAY because one of their other jobs wasn't able to happen due to the weather. Best news ever! They were on time, professional with clearly marked vehicles and SO FAST! They did have to use our water and didn't put the hose back where it was, but other than that - they did an incredible job. Our driveway looks so good! Would HIGHLY recommend them and will be using them again in the future for seal coating. Thank you! read more

Edward Smith Paving did an amazing job on our driveway. We are extremely pleased with the service provided. We received their name from our neighbors, who also used this company. The driveway looks exactly the way we wanted and imagined. I would recommend this company to anybody looking to get any type of asphalt work. read more

VERY DISAPPOINTED with lack of professionalism. Both brothers came to my house at separate times to check out my driveway and provide a quote. They said they would be here first thing Monday morning to start paving, so I took the day off from work. At 10 am I had not heard from or seen them, so I called. After my "Hey just checking on when you will be here?" I heard Mmmm and CLICK ! Not only did they hang up on me, they NEVER returned my calls all day. How sad they do not even have the courtesy for a phone call. I'm not sure how they have stayed in business like this for 3 generations, but it certainly tells me I do not need to spend my hard earned money with this company ! read more
