Q&A Landscaping has been building in the South Hills for 16 years, from retaining walls and patios to concrete driveways. In Pleasant Hills we recently replaced a 50-year-old asphalt driveway with wider concrete and a red exposed aggregate border, permits and inspections included.
Pleasant Hills is established South Hills housing: older homes, long-time owners, and utilities that have been in the ground for decades. That is the kind of job we are set up for, where the work under the surface matters as much as the finish on top. On our Pleasant Hills driveway project we replaced the water and sewer lines beneath the old asphalt, handled the permits and inspections, and put the owner's red stone back when the pour was done.

Pleasant Hills Borough sets its own permit and stormwater requirements. Here is what the borough itself says on its website:
On our Pleasant Hills driveway project, we handled all permits and inspections required by Allegheny County as part of the job.
Pleasant Hills and Jefferson Hills share a school district area, and we build in both: see our Jefferson Hills landscaping page. For fencing, our sister company Q&A Fencing has a page for fencing in Pleasant Hills.
After nearly 50 years in his home, the owner was ready to replace the asphalt driveway and the aging water and sewer lines beneath it. We removed the old driveway, excavated for the utilities, and poured a new 4-inch concrete driveway, significantly wider than the old one, with a red exposed aggregate border to match the owner's taste for red stone. We set aside the existing red stone and boulders during construction and put them back when the driveway was done.
