Asphalt ???

How much should I expect to pay to:

Extend my asphalt driveway to the property line (currently a grass area) 7.5 ft x 32 ft.

Repair a 2 ft x 8 ft section of the current driveway heaved by heavy trucks (pool install last year)

I'm waiting for the contractor to get back to me.

Thanks!

I just got a quote to do a drive next to my house (50" X 12"). This includes removing about 8 trucks of dirt and some landscaping. And another area in front of my house (16" X 8") with a little work done. It was $3200.00. This is by a good company here. I have checked them out.

I agree that concrete looks better, but I only want to extend & fix the current driveway, not redo the whole thing.

Thanks for the replies!

The same job in concrete was going to cost over $10,000.

Quote #1 = $970

Quote #2 = $860 (went with this quote for more reasons than the $$$)

Quote #3 = $2000
