Our driveway was in bad condition, cracked and uneven. It was 25+ years old and past time for a new one. Last week that’s exactly what happened!
Many large trucks and a small army of men turned up to work. They started by removing the old asphalt with a bulldozer:
Then dumping the gravel substrate:
Which was flattened by a roller:
Then came the new asphalt, edges first:
Then the main portion layed down by a machine:
And flattened again with a different roller:
Lastly a final liquid asphalt coat:
And after a total of about 2.5 hours, it was done:
We haven’t used it yet since it’s halfway through a weeklong drying/setting process, but it looks good 🙂
It was hellishly expensive, but what home improvement job isn’t? It should last longer than we are in this house though, and what more could we ask!
