"Chris came out and we discussed my landscaping needs for my new home.  I tried to convey my vision to Chris, I have a nice rustic style farmhouse that I just had built.  I also told him this wasn't the country club and I needed this work broken into pieces and would be looking to do basic landscaping, not grass that looks like carpet and more of a rustic type that would suit a farmhouse design like I have.  He started pushing this concrete bed borders, and I didn't like the look.  Not to mention, I'm sure it was quite expensive.  I tried to explain again, this wasn't a house in a subdivision in the city, it's a rural property and that would just look out of place.  One of the first things needed was some additional gravel on my parking area and making a turnaround and sidewalk to my back deck.  Chris quoted me $3800 to deliver and spread two truckloads of gravel.  That is a outrageous price!  I called and had a gravel company quote me a price and called a back hoe operator to get a price for spreading the gravel. The company's I contacted quoted me $700 a truck load for the material and $350 for the spreading.  Chris quoted double what the cost was for me to contract it myself.  I never heard back from him on any quote for the beds and planting.  Just as well, his prices were way out of line.  I think he saw my house and decided he could make a months salary off me.  I was very disappointed, he seemed like a nice guy.  I've since hired a part time man who is doing a fine job as I direct him.

And from the contractor's response, he should have let me know he didn't want to do a job on a rural property and that would have been fine.  My driveway is not unusual for a rural farm property.  The reason it was "swampy" was I had just moved in, construction trucks had been keeping it plowed up and we just were drying out from the worst rain season in 100 years in this area.  And now that the rain has dried out and the driveway has settled, anyone can get into my driveway with ANY kind of car or truck.  Funny thing, I had many dump trucks in spreading gravel, delivery trucks, and moving trucks and no one got stuck.  And I've never seen any quote from him other than a overpriced quote trying to make a killing off a small job.   I'm sure he didn't waste much of his time, I'm sure he wasted less of his than I did of mine."

Asphalt Driveways questions, answered by experts

New asphalt goes through two stages: drying and curing. Drying typically takes 24 to 72 hours, after which the surface is solid enough for light use like walking or careful driving. While you may be able to park on it after 72 hours, the surface is still soft and should be treated gently. Full curing is a much longer process, taking anywhere from 30 days to a full year for the asphalt to reach maximum strength. During this extended curing period, the asphalt is susceptible to damage from heavy vehicles, sharp objects, and high temperatures. Factors like weather, the specific asphalt mix, and application thickness all influence drying and curing times. For the most accurate timeline and to ensure the longevity of your new asphalt, it is always best to consult with your installation contractor for their specific recommendations.

Yes, you can retrofit an existing driveway, but this usually involves cutting grooves into the driveway, installing the heating elements, then sealing them. While this is much less expensive than typical heated driveway systems, the final appearance could be diminished. Speak with a driveway paving company to confirm which design method is best for you.

Driveway paving costs around $4,500 on average, but depending on many factors, you could pay anywhere from $2,500 to $6,600 or more. The size of your driveway will usually be the most significant factor, with more square footage increasing your costs. You can expect to pay between $2 and $15 per square foot for paving services. Some other factors that play a role include the following:

  • Quality of the materials

  • Contractor’s experience and expertise

  • Site preparation and grading, if necessary

  • Layout of your driveway

In terms of durability, concrete driveways can last more than 50 years when properly maintained, compared to the typical 30 years for an asphalt driveway. However, the durability depends on the climate, base material and thickness, and thickness of the concrete or asphalt used. The longevity of concrete or asphalt driveways also depends on how well it’s maintained and the amount of wear and tear it endures.

An asphalt driveway should be at least 3 inches thick over a compacted gravel base. Areas with poor drainage should have a thicker stone base. To install a new asphalt driveway over an existing driveway, the new asphalt should be at least 2 inches thick and the existing driveway should be in relatively good condition.
