Installing a driveway can be a costly investment, but it doesn't have to be. I recently installed a gravel driveway at my investment property for only $110! Was it done right? Ehhhh kinda. But it will serve its purpose better than the overgrown grass driveway.
By using a skid steer and trailer, I was able to haul in the gravel myself, saving thousands of dollars between labor costs, rental costs, and materials. The installation process was simple, and the end result was a decent and functional driveway that added curb appeal to my property.
If you're looking to install a driveway on a budget, I highly recommend considering a DIY gravel installation. Especially when you just need to do a refresh.
$70 for a tarp
$60 for gravel
Sold $20 of dirt
Basically, it's $110 in material and 3 hours of work. Obviously, we are fortunate enough to have a dump trailer and skid steer, which obviously cuts down on costs.
Just another reason why I love the dumpster business model we're operating. It allows us to do so many overlapping services. While also letting us use the existing equipment to add curb appeal to my investment properties.
