What is the most economical driveway material?

• <div><p>Gravel driveways are the most economical driveway material, followed pretty closely by asphalt and concrete. At about <b>$1 to $3 per square foot, </b>gravel is about a third of the cost of either of the more common alternatives. But, not everyone likes the look and feel of the material and may opt to pay more for something that looks better.</p></div>

Q: Should I winterize a newly installed driveway?

• <div><p>You should contact your driveway installer before winterizing a newly installed driveway. Winterizing it before the asphalt or concrete has fully cured can damage the driveway. But in many cases, you don't need to winterize a newly installed driveway anyway since it's likely freshly sealed and won't have much damage yet. </p></div>

Q: What other driveway materials can I choose for my driveway?

• <div><p>Cobblestone is just one of many <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/choosing-perfect-material-your-driveway.htm">driveway materials</a>. Other, more economical, albeit less elaborate options include concrete, asphalt, and gravel. </p><p>If you want a material that most closely resembles cobblestone, your best option is bricks or pavers. Both cost anywhere from <b>$10 to $50 per square foot</b> and can be laid in all kinds of patterns. Depending on the type of paver you choose, you can also get a good bang for your buck by investing in durable natural stone. </p></div>

Q: Do you need a permit to build your own driveway?

• <div><p>The answer to whether or not you need to get a permit before you start your driveway can vary widely based on local ordinances and the scope of your <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/driveway-ideas.htm">driveway ideas</a>. In most urban and suburban areas, a permit is needed before building a new driveway to ensure that a homeowner is using safe materials and proper drainage practices while designing and constructing a new driveway. In some rural areas, a homeowner may not be required to apply for a permit. When building a new driveway on your own, always check with your local building department to see if you need to request a permit. When hiring a driveway contractor, verify that the right permits are being used before driveway construction begins.</p></div>

Q: Can I pave my own driveway?

• <div><p>While paving a driveway is possible to do as a DIY project, we don&rsquo;t recommend it. Hiring a driveway professional to pave it will ensure that your driveway looks neat and clean and lasts for years to come, and it will also prevent a weak driveway and, potentially, damage to your foundation. Paving a driveway requires heavy machinery, and while you can rent the equipment needed, operating it close to your garage slab or around your home&rsquo;s foundation can crack it and lead to structural issues. </p></div>

Called up Nick from A1 to come and pressure wash the driveway after a long winter of abuse. Couldnâ t believe how great it turned out. Will be calling for all pressure washing needs.

Antonio and his crew are wonderful to work with. They redid our driveway retaining walls with a beautiful stacked natural fieldstone. Communication of the scope and budget was very clear and there were no surprises. The workmanship is top notch. I highly recommend Bolani Masonry.
