The duration of your project depends on several factors including size, materials, design complexity, and site conditions. Here’s a general timeline to help you plan:
Typical Timeframes:
Small Walkway Installation (simple path, up to 50 sq ft):
✅ 1 to 2 days
Medium Walkway or Pathway (50 to 200 sq ft):
✅ 2 to 4 days
Driveway Installation (standard size, concrete or asphalt):
✅ 3 to 7 days
Large or Custom Driveways & Complex Pathways:
✅ 1 to 3 weeks
Factors That Influence Duration:
Material curing times (e.g., concrete needs time to set)
Site preparation requirements like grading or excavation
Weather conditions (rain or extreme temperatures can cause delays)
Complexity of design and patterns used
Accessibility of the site and equipment used
Regular maintenance is key to keeping your walkways, driveways, and pathways safe, attractive, and long-lasting. Here’s a general guide:
Routine Maintenance
Annually:
Inspect surfaces for cracks, weeds, or drainage issues and perform minor repairs or cleaning.
Every 2-3 Years:
Seal concrete, asphalt, or paver surfaces to protect against weathering, stains, and wear.
Repairs & Deep Maintenance
As Needed:
Address cracks, potholes, settling, or damage as soon as they appear to prevent more costly repairs.
After Severe Weather:
Check for damage after storms, heavy rain, or freezing conditions.
Full Replacement
Every 15-30 Years (depending on material):
Driveways and walkways typically need resurfacing or replacement within this timeframe, though some materials may last longer with proper care.
Choosing the right season can make a big difference in the quality, efficiency, and durability of your project. Here’s when to schedule your work:
🌞 Spring and Fall: Ideal Seasons
Moderate Temperatures:
Mild weather helps materials like concrete and asphalt cure properly without cracking or warping.
Lower Rainfall (usually):
Less chance of weather delays compared to winter or summer storms.
Better Working Conditions:
Comfortable temperatures for crews lead to faster, more efficient work.
❄️ Winter: Generally Not Recommended
Cold temperatures can slow curing and hardening of materials, risking weaker surfaces.
Frost and snow can cause delays and damage newly installed surfaces.
☀️ Summer: Possible but Challenging
High heat can cause asphalt to soften and concrete to cure too quickly, risking cracks.
Early morning starts and extra precautions are needed to protect materials.

2. Mark Utilities & Underground Lines
Notify utility companies to mark any underground cables, pipes, or sprinkler systems.
Inform us about any known underground features on your property.
3. Plan for Access & Parking
Ensure construction crews have easy access to the site and space to park equipment.
Arrange alternative parking if your driveway will be under construction.
4. Discuss Special Requests
Let us know if you want to keep existing materials, require specific design features, or have sensitive landscaping nearby.
5. Confirm Permits
We’ll assist with any permits needed for your project and advise you on local regulations.
6. Prepare for Disruptions
Expect some noise, dust, and limited access to parts of your property during construction.
Make arrangements for pets and children to stay clear of the site.

No matter the job, big or small, our customers are confident in our processes for any kind of our services.
"Outdoor Assassins LLC Co was the only company to provide a quote for 5 trees to be removed (2 very large). I had 5 other companies come out, but never quoted or couldn't do the job. To say I am happy with them would be an understatement. The communication was great through the whole process. They did the job in 1 day and my yard looks better than it did before they got here. All the workers were very nice and considerate."

"Had them remove a large oak tree and cut back a large maple tree on my nephew's property. The oak tree hung over the roof quite a bit and took equipment and skill to safely remove it. They did a great job and love it that the owner,/boss is there on site working along with the crew - you get top notch work done with that - highly recommend."

I have nothing but praise for the job Odassassinsnc Co did in removing two trees from our front and back yard. I was impressed by the care they took in protecting our lawn from damage and the clean up afterwards. They are really safety minded for their crew and for the property owner and are quite adept in working in small spaces. I highly recommend them.
