I have my seasonal hankering to put in driveway paving in place of the crusher run stone.
Has anyone out there paved their driveway lately?
I got a material only price on concrete holland pavers at $266 a "cube", which I'm told is good for 94 ft2.
Alas, I have a total of 7000 ft2 to cover in all and things add up pretty quick.
I was thinking, maybe use pavers for the garage turnaround and maybe out by the road for now.
Would anyone know an approximate price for asphalt.
 
What about old crushed asphalt from roadways? I did the bottom part of my driveway and it has held up great, once the sun gets hot it just remelts it and leaves it a bit coarse for winter driving. I think they call it asphalt millings 1".
 
Thanks. Someone near me has that. I've already got crusher run, and that's good. I'd like to upgrade to something 'non-granular' and more amenable to snowblowing and potentially plowing.
