How long does it take to build a driveway?

• <div><p>While the specific timeline for building a driveway can vary based on driveway length and local weather conditions, the average concrete driveway can require several days to lay down all of the different <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/driveway-terms-know.htm">parts of the driveway</a>. The curing process may require you to avoid using your driveway for a week following construction. Heavier vehicles should be kept off of a new concrete driveway for several weeks. Building a gravel driveway may take just one to two days in total.</p></div>

Q: Can a Dremel cut pavers?

• <div><p>Yes, you can use a Dremel to cut pavers, but you&rsquo;ll need a masonry cut-off wheel and a Dremel that accepts a 3 1/2-inch cutting wheel. Slowly run the masonry cut-off wheel along your cut line, and then continue making shallow passes. Once the cut is about 1/8 inch deep, you can drive a chisel into the center of it to complete the cut.</p></div>

Q: What is causing my pavers to crack?

• <div><p>While water-related pressure caused by poor drainage is one common cause of paver cracking, other factors can include ground movement beneath pavers, heavy loads and wear and tear over the pavers, and climates with constant freeze-thaw cycles. In general, pavers should be resealed every three to five years to prevent cracking.</p></div>

Q: How many feet is a driveway apron?

• <div><p>Driveway aprons range between 15 and 18 feet long and 12 and 24 feet wide. However, both measurements depend on the width of your driveway and the distance between the end of the driveway and the road. In some cases, you will not be responsible for any apron that goes beyond the sidewalk, but it depends on local laws. </p></div>

Q: Do you have to remove pavers to add new paver sand?

• <div><p>No, paver removal isn't needed to redo polymeric sand in a walkway or patio. Sand can be packed into existing joints as long as you're not dealing with intrusive tree roots or other severe<a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/solutions-most-common-paver-problems.htm"> paver problems</a> that require you to pry up your pavers. </p></div>
