"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

It takes recycled asphalt 48 hours to initially harden and up to 3 months to fully cure. It’s best to stay off of recycled asphalt for at least 48 hours, then you can walk or drive standard vehicles on it. Hold off on driving heavy trucks or equipment on it for at least 7 days. Allowing the surface to melt together and harden ensures that the surface stays durable and long-lasting. 

Gravel is one of the few driveway materials that can handle rain the second it’s installed. Unlike asphalt, which needs days to set, or concrete, which requires weeks to cure, gravel is ready as soon as it’s compacted. It’s naturally permeable, allowing water to drain straight through—with no risk of pooling or surface damage. Gravel driveways are one of the most affordable, at $1 to $3 per square foot, and can also last upward of 100 years.

A solid driveway starts with the right asphalt mix, and for most homes, dense-graded hot mix asphalt (HMA) is the most recommended. It’s both durable and flexible, making it a reliable choice for residential use. A properly compacted 2-3 inch layer on a well-prepared crushed stone base will hold up for years. In areas with harsh winters or scorching summers, a slightly modified mix can help prevent cracking and rutting. No matter the climate, quality installation is just as important as the material itself, so hiring an experienced contractor ensures a smooth, long-lasting driveway built to last.

Several materials are suitable for steep driveways. Gravel and crushed stone are affordable options that provide good traction. Permeable pavers—such as plastic, rubber, or concrete—filled with gravel or crushed stones are also excellent, as they allow water to drain without causing erosion and perform well in ice and snow. Another option is resin, which can be coated with an anti-slip finish and helps prevent puddles. For added stability, you can install a retaining wall to prevent pavers and gravel from shifting over time.

New asphalt typically needs 24 to 72 hours to dry before it can handle light foot traffic and careful driving. Although it may appear solid after a few days, the full curing process, where the asphalt reaches its peak strength, takes much longer—generally from 30 days to a year.

During this extended curing time, the surface remains relatively soft and can be damaged by heavy vehicles, sharp objects, or high temperatures. To protect your investment, it's best to avoid parking heavy machinery on the asphalt until it has fully cured.

The exact time required for drying and curing depends on several factors, including the weather, the specific asphalt mix, and its thickness. For the most accurate advice tailored to your situation, consult with your asphalt contractor.
