Asphalt is a durable surface widely used for driveways, roads, and pavements. Regardless of its strength, it has a life span and begins to wear out due to heavy movement and traffic from vehicles, heavy trucks, people and exposure to serious weather conditions.  Maintenance of asphalt surfaces is the best move to prolong its serving life. Therefore, if in charge, you need to pay close attention to the simple issues and have them addressed before they escalate to cause major problems.

A retaining wall can make your property more usable if it's on a hill. These walls can be used to create level areas that are easier to access, on which you could establish extra garden beds or a patio. Steps will let you get to all areas safely. If you're looking for a material option, concrete block retaining walls are an excellent choice. You could opt for interlocking blocks that don't need mortar.
