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’s fine particles, it’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’t shift like loose gravel.</p></div>

Are millings cheaper than new asphalt?

• <div><p>Yes, recycled asphalt driveway costs can be substantially lower than new asphalt. With new asphalt costing between <b>$90 and $190</b> per ton, this option can cost as much as 10 times more than laying down asphalt millings.</p></div>

Q: Is it less expensive to lay concrete or pavers?

• <div><p>While it may be less expensive initially to lay <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pavers-vs-concrete-patio.htm">concrete vs. pavers</a>, the long-term expenses that come with repairing concrete may prove to be less cost-friendly than simply replacing a few damaged pavers. On top of that, stamped concrete may only last for 25 years compared to pavers, which can last over 50 years.</p></div>

Q: What is the lifespan of asphalt pavement?

• <div><p>You can expect your asphalt pavement to last anywhere from 20 to 30 years, or 25 years on average. The life expectancy of your asphalt driveway depends on the climate, the amount of traffic, and how well you maintain it. While you can&rsquo;t necessarily control some of these factors, you can control the amount of maintenance effort you put into your driveway. </p><p>To prevent your asphalt from deteriorating prematurely, you should follow a good maintenance routine involving regular cleaning, reparation work, and resealing.</p></div>

Q: How do you build a road on a slope?

• <div><p>Building a road on a slope requires careful planning and will normally require a drainage system underneath to prevent flooding and damage to the road over time. Your professional may lengthen your road to create switchbacks if the slope directly to your home is too steep, as there are regulations for maximum road slope. The drainage system will help prevent runoff from the higher side of the slope from damaging the asphalt or concrete. Keep in mind that building a road on a slope isn&rsquo;t a good DIY project, as a lot can go wrong.</p></div>
