Paving my 6000 sqft Driveway w/ Cost Breakdown

[@brenyz5013]

Been paving for 45 years. This is the first video on paving I have seen where they actually knew what they were doing and did a great job !!!

[@Kordare]

Glad to hear that! It was fun to watch 🤘

[@ParaboxGFNR]

Looks great. I'd like to see a fleet update and general maintenance video.

[@Kordare]

Thanks! I've got some new videos in mind coming soon!

[@dmcd7333]

Nice upgrade to the property! They did a very good job on that driveway and that helps the look and value of the property. Wintertime will be much easier to get through.

[@Kordare]

Agreed, thank you!

[@rei39]

It looks beautiful. Thanks for bringing us along

Hey buddy was just thinking about your channel the other day. Huge congratulations! Very expensive but very worth it! Damn 16k though, I would have guessed 25 as well! Beautiful

[@Kordare]

Thanks a lot! I'm glad I finally decided to get it done 🤘

Looks good man! Really love your set up.

[@Kordare]

Thank you!

[@boomer2095]

I just laid recycled asphalt on my driveway in May of this year. They quoted me $9,000 for recycled asphalt and $15,000 for hot. Huge difference in quality, but as you mentioned, I’d you are laying either, you have to have a backfill: or in my case metal edging to keep it in place. Could have done backfill, but thought edging would be a permanent fix so that the water wouldn’t start to drain off in spots and have to be replaced. Asked if I decided to repave with hot if I would be cheaper, and would still cost me what I originally paid for the recycled, since they used 2-3” of mix and it takes the same amount of time and manpower to repave. Recycled is a lot like having a gravel on top of a base. It works, but if it rains, it will develop ruts and snow removal is terrible because you take off the top layer of gravel when you plow. Hot asphalt is the way to go if you can.

[@Kordare]

All great info, thanks!

[@richjax2405]

Great job, the drive looks awesome now. Love to see some more car build videos.

[@Kordare]

Thanks! Coming soon!

[@Gomoboo]

I had my 5,600 sq ft driveway and parking area resurfaced at 2" thick over a 3-4" original paved back in 1988 (over 70 tons). It cost me $23,000 in mid-2020. Post-Covid-19 the price went up at least 30-35%. It's more expensive in Hawaii. Overall, came out pretty good but have several minor "bird baths". Very difficult to find top-notch local contractors.

[@jqonthego]

I love your videos! Your videos are always well-made and share great information - the house is coming along!

[@Kordare]

I appreciate the support!

[@1Tibs1]

Be careful of the Ivy, do mint too, they’ll take over and are delicious (keeps a lot of rodents away as well).

[@kiheidude]

They did a great job! I’m getting ready to have my 10,000 square foot parking area paved along with 1,700 linear feet of driveway. How thick was your asphalt after compaction?

[@Kordare]

I agree! I believe it was 3 inch nominal thickness

[@got6pak]

@kiheidude What is that going to cost roughly? I'm looking at a property that will need 1800' driveway.

[@kiheidude]

@@got6pakI had commercial grade done and it cost me $89,000 for 10,000 square feet of parking and 1,700 linear feet (10’ wide) of driveway.

[@RayAllen1776]

We having 550 feet long by 10 feet wide done today. NW NC. The grading was done four days ago. It was steep loose rock with deep crevices left behind after Helene. $23,000

[@YesSir34]

Awesome man! Can’t wait for a deck build!

[@Kordare]

I've been thinking about that 🤔

[@PierrePacini]

Thanks for the transparency. I haven’t gotten quoted yet, but what you paid is about what I have seen on different sites with calculators. I have a 1800ft long road that leads to the house that I’d like paved one day. But by your numbers I’d be looking at close to $60k 😅🙃

[@Kordare]

That's pretty long 😅

[@CarsSimplified]

That turned out great!

[@Kordare]

🙌🙌

[@haroldgreen1425]

I just had my driveway done. It's 1500' long. I had truck loads of crushed asphalt brought in and spread and rolled. Now it's not as smooth as highway asphalt but a decent all weather drive now. I suppose around 15000 sq ft of drive and I paid $20K for the job. I think they laid down around four or five inches of asphalt but it's now compressed down some as we drive on it over and over. Now no more mud or dust every trip down the drive. I've priced crushed concrete and iron ore but this was cheaper and much better looking drive. For the last 20 years we've driven on compacted silt and it was like concrete so the base under the asphalt is not going anywhere.

[@Kordare]

Sounds like a great solution for such a long drive 👍

[@DonDomel]

13:00 sorry did I hear correct - 16k for everything?

[@Kordare]

Yes

[@DonDomel]

very good price. In Poland for this amount of work at least 20k@@Kordare

[@christopherharris6005]

Awesome video as always Kordare. The new driveway looks awesome do you have a gate at the begining of your driveway because how great it look people might mistake it for a public road.

[@Kordare]

Thanks! Oh yeah I've had plenty of people come down, usually they realize half way down and do a burnout in my grass 🙃. I've added more signs which helps but eventually a gate would be nice.

[@philtucker1224]

Or maybe just two posts with the name of the house on it and maybe a mail box. That should help people realise that it’s a private home. I think an actual gate would be a pain in the butt to have to stop to open it.

[@Kordare]

Yeah I do have a mailbox at the end but some people are oblivious to everything

[@nycsosa]

It looks awesome. Whatever you decide to do next, I’m here for it.👍🏽

[@Kordare]

Thank you, I appreciate it!

[@nickmarsden]

Wow, you got an awesome deal and it looks great! I was expecting $30k

[@Kordare]

I was expecting much more, and was thinking to only do half. Pleasantly surprised by a quote for once 😂

[@Superduty_59]

Your driveway looks great! Are you going to seal coat the original pavement of your driveway? My driveway is only 90' long but 35' wide. I often thought I should pave mine. Chip-n-seal was what I was going to look into.

[@Kordare]

I may price it out when I get the new driveway sealed 👍

[@MarioJones]

Came out really good.

[@Kordare]

Thanks I love it 🤘

[@IWJ7888]

Great deal on the driveway, mine is about half as long as what you had done and I have gotten quotes in the 15k-20k range.

[@Kordare]

Yeah they said having that good base stone already there saved me a lot.

[@Betruetoyou4444]

I was quoted $40k here in TN!

[@Sarah_Jean]

[@michael-michaelmotorcycle]

Looks great. How rural are you? I’m in rural AZ and there’s always a premium for anyone to come out and do work. Does that affect your decision making? It does mine. We do have a decent amount of locals that have skidsteers & tractors that will help by the hour. I just did 52 tons of asphalt millings along my house going back to my 2500 sqft shop. I rented a 3.5 ton ride-on vibrating roller and did the final compaction myself. I thought about doing hot asphalt but I was scared of the cost so I didn’t even seek quotes. I’m happy with it so far but it’s only been 2 months or so.

[@Kordare]

It looks like I'm super rural but I'm really not far from civilization. I'd say go get a quote if you ever get dissatisfied with the millings. Like I said it ended up being about half of what I thought it would be.

If anyone could answer this question, do you have gain a permit for adding a paved road on your property or just go ahead and do it? I'm 22 and don't know much about property ownership.

[@Kordare]

Every township will be different. I specifically didn't because I wasn't within 50ft of a township road, since that portion was already paved. Best thing to do is to call your local municipality.

[@DustinMankin]

Also think about fire engines if you ever have an emergency.

That is cheap. I have been quoted $55k for my driveway. It’s 810’ long. What was the company you used?

[@Kordare]

I used King James asphalt. They did say I saved a lot because my base was in great shape and they didn't need to bring in any stone.

[@SurvivalFarms]

I got a quote for 9500 sq ft 2” thick (all driveway with one width, no wide parking area) and was quoted $12,500. Anyway, I want to see you seal it yourself and provide the info on material and cost

[@Kordare]

I likely will have the same company come back and seal it this year

[@Gomoboo]

​@Kordare - Rather than Sealcoating the pavement that normally needs at least 2 coats, explore having your asphalt treated with a professional rejuvenator product. Only one coat application, lasts 6 years (vs 2-3 years max for Sealcoating), and can be driven on in less than an hour (Sealcoating calls for partial drying between coats and usually 24-36 hrs before driving on it minimum). Try Google "Asphalt Rejuvenation".
