• <div><p>You should not attempt to install your own driveway. Whether working with asphalt or pavement, this is a complicated project that requires special equipment.

Q: What is an ideal driveway gradient?

• <div><p>An ideal driveway gradient is between 2% and 5%. Anything lower than 1% or higher than 15% can cause problems for your car or property. A driveway with less than a 1% slope increases your likelihood of flooding and water damage, while a driveway with a 15% grade or higher can be too steep for safe traveling.</p></div>

Q: What is the price of a gravel vs. asphalt driveway?

• <div><p>Gravel driveways are significantly more affordable than asphalt driveways, making them an enticing financial decision when choosing your next driveway material. On average, gravel driveways are <b>$5.75 to $13 per square foot </b>cheaper than asphalt driveways. </p><p>It's not just their price that makes gravel driveways more economical. Gravel driveways also can last up to 100 years with minimum maintenance, whereas asphalt driveways only last for 15 to 30 years with proper maintenance. But if you&rsquo;re looking for the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/best-driveway-material-for-cold-weather.htm">best driveway material for cold weather</a>, asphalt may be a better choice.</p></div>

Q: How good is recycled asphalt for a driveway?

• <div><p>Recycled asphalt is a durable choice for a driveway, but doesn&rsquo;t have the same appearance and low maintenance as standard asphalt. For long driveways in rural communities, recycled asphalt can make a great choice. Recycled asphalt is 20% to 30% percent less expensive than standard asphalt and is better for the environment. </p></div>

Q: How do I find a reputable paving company near me?

• <div><p>To ensure you hire a reliable and experienced paving company, you should start by finding companies in your area that have at least five to ten years of experience working in your neighborhood. Next, rule out companies with poor reviews online or a series of complaints filed with the Better Business Bureau. Since driveways affect your curb appeal, you should also ask each company for references and pictures of recent work to make sure the work the company does is professional and high quality. Finally, <a href="https://www.angi.com/angi-license-check.htm">check that the company is licensed</a> and insured.</p></div>

They did a good job for the most part on the 6000 sf driveway given they were far from the asphalt plant. They mobilized quickly and completed the project on time.
