Call around, I think this is something that has a widely varying price. If you tell the company the size of the area they can probably give you a quick estimate.

It’s priced by the square ft. If it’s a new install make sure you have some processed gravel as a base. If it’s a redo and the old drive hasn’t settled don’t let them talk you into a gravel base. Your exsisting is the best stuff. Just remove the old, grade, and install new.

this would be over gravel actually. :wink:

thanks for your reply.

I know a mexican guy in Dallas who purchased a big open field right off a freeway in a not-so-good part of town. He probably picked it up for $50k, and got several acres out of it. Anyway he put black top pavement DIRECTLY ON TOP OF GRASS - crazy if you ask me - slapped a good looking portable building on it and is now making a killing running his own used car lot there. His nitch market is the hispanic community…and he probably sells 100+ cars a month from a used car lot. Interesting, eh? Do you guys think he’ll have pavement problems in the long run though?

Maybe, but what does it matter? If he’s making a killing he can afford to redo it later on! :beer
