McFarland's Hawkeye Paving Co.

Had them pave my driveway last year and they did a good job. However when they came back to seal the driveway is where the issue began. Talked to them and sent pictures of the issue (see pictures). They did come out admit that they cleaned their lines with gasoline and it must have not been out of the lines resulting in a poor seal. Told me they would fix at no charge as you would expect, but then was told they had to order sealer. Then was told the guy was on vacation. It’s been over a month with numerous voicemails and text messages with no reply. I will be contacting my lawyer if this doesn’t get my driveway fixed within a week. I will report back and update if issue gets resolved. This has since been fixed and they did apologize for their lack of communication. I believe it would go a long way if they had an office or someone keeping track of things like this to organize their workload more effectively so customers are not forgotten about. Rating now is a 3 star.

These guys came through and knocked on our door and offered their services and said they had extra asphalt that they needed to get rid of from another project. We happened to need our driveway widened, but we’re waiting for a land sale to go through to fund our project. After some convincing, we let them go ahead and start removing the dirt to lay asphalt down and we immediately applied for a loan. We told them we would write a check but with the understanding that they would hold it for 2 days until the money from the loan came through and they said no problem. They said they would also use the dirt moved from the project to correct some grading we needed done around one of our buildings and level out what was left throughout the yard. We gave the owner’s son James a check the next day before the work was completed, and he left. The “grading” they had done was sub-par, creating some sink holes that pushed water towards the building, not away from, and then left a huge pile of dirt right beside the building with asphalt thrown on top of it. They did not fill in the edges around where they did the work and it looks very unprofessional. They promised they would come back and fix things, but have stopped communicating and haven’t been back in weeks. The morning we gave James the check, he called me freaking out about an hour later because the check was from an online bank and not a local bank in town stating that he needed to pay for the asphalt. I offered to write a check directly to the asphalt company for him instead but he refused. So I said that was the best he was going to get and I was equally frustrated. That action told me he never had the intent to hold the check for 2 days like I had asked. I do not recommend doing business with this company, especially if they show up begging to do a project for you. Be better than me and do your research to find a better asphalt company to do your projects. Update: only after posting the review did they again offer to come fix what they didn’t do, even though they said they would multiple times weeks ago. They also whined about how hard it was to do the grading initially. We will not be having them back.

Please please please don’t use this company for your paving needs! I am based in SW Florida and had them pave my driveway a few months ago. I feel absolutely disgusted with the work that was done on my driveway. I expressed multiple concerns almost immediately and they assured me they would make it right. The owner even agreed that there were things that need to be fixed but then completely stopped all contact with me. My driveway was completed a little over 5 months ago and since then it has crumbled and cracked so much, and so much grass is growing through it! Not to mention they also paved over one of my in-ground sprinkler heads, so after two times of us running our sprinklers (not aware that one had been paved over) it popped right through the asphalt causing a huge crater in our driveway! Last time I checked asphalt was made to withstand much more than a little sprinkler. My husband wasn’t home when they did the work and I feel as though I was completely taken advantage of and the fact that they aren’t making this right is absolutely disgusting! Please don’t use this company for your paving needs and make the mistake I did.
