Paving a driveway


Posted by fallinfrom0feet on June 29th, 2009 09:06 AM

I am wondering about "repaving" our driveway.

what I have now - pretty much gavel diveway gone wrong. where most of it is stone the middle and edges hump up as if it was an asphalt drive way 100 years ago and no one ever did the proper maintenance.

Why not wait? - Its petty bad and if it goes much longer without SOMETHING being done its going to start to effect the foundation of the house.

Issues - I sort of inherited this house and instead of selling it decided to finish making the payments and fix it up a little bit. I see it as an investment. Problem is I just graduated highschool about 2 years ago, its a big house and where I do work.... right now I just dont have the means to set back alot of money to hold off on this fix.

my handy boyfriend says hes helped his old boss concrete a driveway before.

My question is what should I do? and how much (roughly) do you think it will cost?

I dont really care how we do it as long as its done and done well. asphalt is a little more ticky isnt it? Id have to have a professional come in and do that whereas I could concrete it myself?
