Re: Someday An Asphalt Driveway?said by AZinOH:Before I ask a professional for an estimate, any ideas if this is a $2K job...$5K...or more? All driveways are not created equal. One of the factors that affect driveway durability is the thickness and quality of the Asphalt. Make sure the contractor specifies the above parameters. My parents had a driveway paved with Asphalt, unfortunately it started to break up after about three years because the contractor used to thin a layer of low quality Asphalt. |

What is a desirable level of thickness? What makes one asphalt high quality and another low quality? |

That said the thickness and base layer vary from no base layer and a thin top coat as your parents got to a 3" base with a 2" top layer which is what I got. |

Asphalt isn't asphLt. Just look at racetracks that have been recently repaved. It's not the same shit they use on streets |
