We looked at a couple of different options when we needed to get our driveway paved. We looked at concrete, interloc, and asphalt.
Trying to find anyone who has good knowledge in this area seems to be hard. No one would listen to my requests for what we wanted, which was compressed 1.5 Inches of road grade asphalt and then 1.5 Inches or driveway asphalt. We also didn't one of those companies that comes rolling through neighbourhoods and gives you a cheap price because they are doing a bunch of houses at once and do them very quickly and poorly.
They delivered! With that, they also dropped in 10 Inches of base in order to make sure the asphalt was solid. No complaints at all. With the amount of rain we've had, I can see the grading is done properly and it all runs down the driveway properly.
Now we have a long driveway. Its approximately 16 feet wide by 70 feet long. They called to say they were running late and showed up around 12:00 and took approx 4.5 hours to finish it off, from curbs to asphalt and everything in between.
I can't recommend these guys enough. If you need a driveway done, it might cost you more to get these guys to go it, but its worth it. It makes more sense to have a driveway that will last you 20 years by paying the money once, than it is to have to get it repaved multiple times at a cost thats much more.
