"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

Your city or county will have guidelines about the minimum and maximum width and length of private roads. The average private road is 12 feet wide, and length, of course, depends on your property. Requirements also depend on the amount of traffic and types of vehicles your road experiences. Check with local ordinances before planning a road on your property.

When hiring an asphalt paving contractor to install your driveway, ask as many questions up front as possible. Here are a few questions to ask a prospective driveway contractor:

  • How many years of experience do you have?

  • Are you licensed, bonded, and insured?

  • Do you have worker’s compensation?

  • Do you use subcontractors on your projects?

  • Do you clean up after the job is done?

  • Who is responsible for any damage to lawn or landscaping?

  • Do you provide a guarantee or warranty on your work?

  • Do you give free estimates?

  • What is the timeline for completion?

  • How do you handle change orders?

  • Can you provide at least three references?

  • Can I see some of the work you’ve done?

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.

In the United States, roads are usually categorized as one of three types: public roads, other drivable roads, and non-drivable roads. These categories dictate how a road can be used; a non-drivable road might be classified that way because it is heavily damaged and unsafe for cars.
