Q: How much does 1,500 square feet of asphalt cost?

• <div><p>The average cost of 1,500 square feet of asphalt ranges from about <b>$10,500 to $22,500</b>, depending on location, thickness, base material, and how accessible the job site is to crews and equipment. Keep in mind that your asphalt material cost may vary depending on its type, ranging from porous asphalt to heated blacktop. Standard asphalt costs $7 to $13 per square foot.</p></div>

Q: Which gravel can you harden into a solid surface?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-decomposed-granite.htm">Decomposed granite</a> and caliche can both harden into a solid surface using a plate compactor. However, due to decomposed granite&rsquo;s fine particles, it&rsquo;s not suitable for driveway surfaces. Some homeowners use pea gravel mixed with a gravel-binding resin to bind the loose stones and create a solid surface that won&rsquo;t shift like loose gravel.</p></div>

Q: How thick should an asphalt driveway be?

• <div><p>An asphalt driveway should be at least 3 inches thick over a compacted gravel base. Areas with poor drainage should have a thicker stone base. To <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-install-asphalt-driveway.htm">install a new asphalt driveway</a> over an existing driveway, the new asphalt should be at least 2 inches thick and the existing driveway should be in relatively good condition.</p></div>

Q: Are blacktop and asphalt the same thing?

• <div><p>Asphalt is not the same thing as blacktop. Blacktop is a type of asphalt, but contains less bitumen, making it less durable than asphalt. Asphalt is a better option for major highways, streets, and driveways, while blacktop is more suitable to playgrounds. </p></div>

Q: Is hardscaping a good investment?

• <div><p>Hardscaping is usually a great investment because it makes your yard more useful and it improves your home&rsquo;s curb appeal, boosting your property value. Depending on the type of hardscaping, you may not see any bump in your property taxes, either, so the downsides can be virtually non-existent. Be sure to hire a reliable hardscape contractor to get the work done professionally the first time around.</p></div>
