Today I pave my 6000 sqft driveway. This has been a long time coming! Follow me for more: TikTok: Kordare Instagram: @kordare_ Facebook Page: kordare www.kordare.com/
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.
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.
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
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.
I’ve thought about something like this, the ultimate drivers paradise. Dirt track with jumps, a drag strip, drift track, and a runway on the side 😂 a man can dream!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
@@Kordare another product that would LOVE that hill is white clover.... super hardy, bees love it and with the white flowers it looks nice... project looks amazing!
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.
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.
