How big should a driveway apron be?

• <div><p>The size of your driveway apron will vary based on your town's building codes. On average, they range between 12 and 24 feet wide and eight to 15 feet long. One end of the apron usually matches the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/driveway-width-guide.htm">width of the driveway</a>—10 to 12 feet wide for a single-car driveway—while the street end flares out to allow cars to turn in and out.</p></div>

Q: Can I install asphalt paving myself?

• <div><p>DIY is not recommended due to equipment and expertise requirements. Professional services ensure durability and proper grading.</p></div>

Q: How do professionals prepare the site for asphalt installation?

• <div><p>By grading and compacting the base soil, ensuring proper drainage and stability.</p></div>

Q: What driveway materials last the longest?

• <div><p>Pavers last longer than both concrete and asphalt when well cared for. Since you can place individual pavers that suffer damage, you won't need to repave the entire driveway for an average of up to 50 years. However, the best material for you comes down to your local climate and budget.</p></div>

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>

It was an Angie's List Big Deal that I purchased. It went really well. He did a good job. I paid a little bit extra for the sealcoating because I got cracks, spills, and some other things. I paid around $120. It was pretty close to what I was quoted in the original deal. The guy communicated...

I asked for an estimate on sealing my driveway. The company representative came out see the job and advised that sealing at that time was not necessary. The company was well represented, punctual, and my interaction was easy. I was happy to be able to postpone the work for another season.

Arrived in time frame given, checked with me first before starting work to make sure we were in agreement, then proceeded with the work. The driveway looks 100% better than before. I would not hesitate to use Buck Bros. again, or refer them to anyone else. Very satisfied.

They did a great job. They did it quickly, and there is nothing I disliked about it. They were reasonable. The guy advised me that I do not need to get it redone in two years instead of telling me to have it done every year. He basically told me how long I would not need it done. It was honesty.
