Hi,

I posted this some time ago, but received only one reply with a
suggested Link, which doesn't work.

Thought I'd try again, as really hoping to get some info on.
It's such a big expense.
Thanks.

Hello,

Have a home driveway that has to be repaved.

It's been so many years since it was last, I really don't remember
any of the details.

I believe a bed of crushed stone was put down first.

Questions:

a. Assuming there is a bed of crushed stones there now, do I want the
contractor to remove all this old stone, and put down a new stone bed
before putting
down the new asphalt ? Why ?

Or, can he just remove the old asphalt, and leave the stones in place
? (seems almost impossible to do, I would think, but am not sure ?)

b. What should the stone bed thickness be ?

c. What should the asphalt thickness be ?

d. What's a "typical" price (per square foot, I guess) for a
complete job including the new stone bed ?
(live outside of Boston)

Not too sure what else to really ask.

Any other thoughts on would be most appreciated.

No one easy answer for those question. The local codes, soil
conditions, expected loads, grade (compared to the ground around) etc. It
may even be acceptable or desirable to just put down a new layer of asphalt.
