Almost finished with the permit phase.. paved driveway est?

[EricVonHa]

This has been a long road. I live in an area where they've adopted the latest "stormwater management" ordinance (over 200 pgs). Almost there..

Building a 48x40 custom building with a 2nd floor. Details forthcoming.

Question involves a guesstimate on a 100 driveway heading to the building. Single car width over smooth terrain. What do you think I could expect to pay? Thanks in advance.

Ayuh,.... Paved with What,..??

Blacktop, type 6, 2½", 100' x 10', 1000sq.ft..... Maybe $3.00/ [email protected]....
A drained stone base would be more of course,...
Possibly more, local conditions unknown, 'n all,...

usually run out is 10' to 12',... less is tight, wider is possible,...

Thanks for the heads up. There is an ICM asphalt plant 5 miles away so it should be on the light side of the figures. Thanks much.

18 x 25 concrete driveway with some leveling was $3500 over here.

Had mine redone last year, I'm on really sandy ground here in Southern ON Canada. Put down 4.5'' of crusher run for the base and went with 3'' of HL3A on top. It's a 2 car drive 18x35 of it is paved, the other 1/4 of it is 3/4'' washed since I didn't feel like paving the counties property for them only to rip it up if we have sewer or water main issues!. Between removal of the old stuff, aggregate and asphalt I was around $5,500.00 all said and done.

Thanks for the feedback.

What's a "100 driveway"?

 

[EricVonHa]

It's a long driveway. About 100 FEET.

Here in SC, I just got concrete work done for $3.50 square foot. I want to pave the bottom of our gravel driveway where it meets the road, but asphalt is more than concrete (?) We have 600 feet of driveway; way out of our budget for anything but gravel.

$3.50/sq ft is pretty cheap for concrete. Our new driveway was $5/sq ft for 4000PSI + fiber but it involved interesting grading/forming.

Did you get your permit>? When I applied for my demolition permit to tear down my old barn, they were going to make me sit in an 4 hour silt fence class, I ended up being exempt since I was the property owner, but I did have to install 120' of silt fence for stormwater/erosion control. It kept everyone happy.

Here in the Minneapolis, MN area I just paid last fall around $4,000 for an asphalt paved driveway that is exactly 100 feet long and 12 feet wide. My soil is sand so they just pushed some of the sand off to the side and put some base in before paving the driveway. I also had a culvert installed that was an extra $1,000.

The city has a policy that the driveway must be paved if a building permit is taken out. In my case they only made me pave the first 100 feet and let me leave about 60 feet unpaved. I would have just left the driveway as dirt to the save the $5,000 if I could have, but pavement is nice too.

Will be revisiting this probably in early 2017. The building is finished. Yes, the stormwater and permitting issue a complete and total loss of productivity and money. We have done it to ourselves. We have allowed the greenies to over-legislate seemingly simple processes. I was out over $7k for engineering costs. Funny thing is... the grading processes could be figured out by a 2nd grader and his Tonka toys.

The driveway has a stone base (not sure of the grade). Smallish golfball size or less stones. Then, I covered with a redstone which really smoothed it all out.

It definitely needs to be paved, though. If there is the least bit of moisture in the stone, the car tires pick it up and the stone fill gets dragged into the building. If I would have thought ahead, I would not have used such a fine fill.

On the bright side, the base has held up well and drainage has not been an issue. I should be able to pave right over top of it in another year. Thanks everyone for all of the input.

It is only a nuisance when you are on the right side of the issue. Around here we have numerous court cases going and at least two shootings attributed to storm water management or the lack there of.

In upstate NY, that would cost you about 7k from the local ripoff artist. Would last a year before it failed and you'd never see him again. The good paver in our area does an amazing job, but would charge around 15K for it but you also wouldn't have any issues and on the outside chance you do, they will fix them promptly.

Long? Nah! Mine is about 500 ft, with a parking area and approaches to the garage. (Cost was about $15k)

5400 square feet was around $7k here, 2 1/2" thick, we had a good, compacted stone base in already, all they had to do was grade and pave.
