Ranked picks
RG Stonemind
Why it ranks first
A full year of five-star reviews backs up RG Stonemind's reputation for precise, well-communicated masonry and paving projects across SouthPark and Myers Park. Owners Pascual and Rodrigo are named repeatedly for showing up on time, explaining the work, and staying late to get tricky cuts or weather delays right.
Pros
- Over 20 years in business, licensed and insured
- Handles complex jobs like 100-foot retaining walls and multi-level tile decks
- Crews clean up the site and walk clients through the finished work
- Repeat customers cite cost competitiveness and visible attention to detail
Watch out: Verification score is on the lower side, so confirm licensing details directly before signing.
Services: masonry contractor, paving contractor
Countywide Commercial, inc
Why it ranks second
Countywide Commercial is built for big paving jobs, having resurfaced parking lots exceeding 50,000 square feet across Charlotte and Gastonia. Under Sati's leadership the crews finish on time and on budget, and hotels and apartment complexes keep coming back for repeat work.
Pros
- Proven track record on large commercial resurfacing and grading
- Competitive rates without sacrificing quality
- Owner adjusts scheduling to fit client timelines
- Repeat business from hotels and apartment complexes
Watch out: One residential driveway job in 2022 was mishandled before being corrected, so smaller jobs may draw less experienced crews than the commercial side.

Carolina Asphalt
Why it ranks third
With over 40 years in operation, Carolina Asphalt turns around jobs in as little as half a day, and most of its 30 reviews point to responsive quoting and skilled crews. It's a solid mid-tier pick for anyone who wants speed and a detailed written proposal upfront.
Pros
- Four decades of operating history
- Fast response on quotes and schedule changes
- Jobs completed in half a day to a full day
- Detailed written proposals before work starts
Watch out: One serious complaint involved yard damage during sidewalk work and a dismissive follow-up, worth asking about if your property borders the job site.

Armor Asphalt
Why it ranks fourth
Armor Asphalt gets driveways done fast, often same-day or next-day, and Jimmy's crew shows up repeatedly by name in positive reviews for fair pricing and responsive communication. The rating is high, but one significant complaint changes the calculus for anyone considering recycled asphalt.
Pros
- Same-day or next-day driveway completion
- Fair, competitive pricing
- Jimmy and crew known by name across reviews
- Responsive phone communication during quoting
Watch out: One customer reports loose asphalt millings sold as a finished paved driveway with no written specs, resulting in a surface that washes out in rain. Insist on written specifications and material samples before signing.

Concepts Outdoor Living By Johnys Masonry
Why it ranks fifth
Concepts Outdoor Living pairs paving with full landscape design, using 3D visualization and a single project manager (Mike Cannaday, with Maria handling updates) to coordinate the whole job. Most reviews describe clean, on-schedule finishes and a genuinely collaborative design process.
Pros
- Custom design with 3D visualization before work begins
- Single point of contact for landscape and hardscape together
- Punctual, professional crew
- Fair pricing relative to the scope of work
Watch out: Confidence here is low since recency scoring is thin; there's also an unrelated complaint about a company vehicle being driven aggressively.
Services: driveways, masonry contractor, patios walkways, paving contractor
Metrolina Concrete, LLC
Why it ranks sixth
Metrolina Concrete rounds out this list with a paving-adjacent listing but has zero reviews on record, so there's no sentiment history to lean on yet. Consider this one a wildcard until more customer feedback comes in.
Pros
- Listed and active in the Charlotte paving space
- Profile completeness is otherwise in good shape
Watch out: No reviews yet, so there's no way to verify quality, pricing, or reliability firsthand.
