FR Landscaping Paving Inc

Ask around Lawrence about getting a driveway done and the answer tends to be a paving crew, not a landscaping one. FR Landscaping Paving's Google page carries a flat 5.0 across 163 ratings, and the jobs behind those numbers are overwhelmingly asphalt: new driveways, resurfacing, patched potholes in parking lots. The theme customers keep returning to is the calendar. They came the day and the hour agreed, one reviewer wrote this June; another in July had a driveway and walkway done and singled out the communication and the timing. A May 2026 customer described the crew digging out the old surface, regrading, setting the new asphalt at what they called perfect pitch, and cleaning up after. Odwar — spelled Adwar and Odawrd across various reviews — is the name that keeps appearing. He takes the call, comes out, and prices the job on the spot: an October 2025 customer had a site visit, an estimate the same visit, and the work scheduled right away. An April 2026 reviewer describes him suggesting changes to a backyard leveling plan that turned out better than what they had asked for. Grading is the second line of work — uneven backyards turned into flat, usable space, showing up repeatedly through 2025 and 2026. Snow and ice clearing is the winter version of the same business; a February 2025 customer had two properties cleared in under three hours. Further back, a 2022 review credits them with installing a drain that stopped water running into a garage. A large share of the reviews are written in Spanish, and price comes up in them often: free estimates, quotes called reasonable. A 2025 reviewer put it bluntly — no ripping off for fixing potholes. The work isn't confined to Lawrence either; a June 2025 review covers a driveway repair in Andover. One thing to weigh before you read the star count as gospel: a handful of five-star reviews posted within a few weeks of each other in mid-2026 run through near-identical phrasing about professionalism, punctuality and attention to detail — closer to a template than four homeowners each describing their own driveway. The other 80-odd reviews since 2021 read as individual accounts. They are the straightforward call for an asphalt driveway, a parking-lot patch, or a backyard that needs leveling before it can be used. Because estimates are given verbally on site, pin down the scope, the asphalt depth and the date in writing before the crew rolls.
