Default Asphalt driveway

The front drive to our house has a couple of nice potholes which were there
when we moved into the house. (Each time we viewed the property, the
previous owners had obviously parked their cars strategically to cover the
holes and the surveyor misseed them as well!) Anyway, I was wondering
roughly how much it would be to have the drive resurfaced using asphalt,
it's approx 15ft x 15ft?

Thanks

==================================
If the drive is generally in good condition you could fill the potholes
with bags of cold-set asphalt from Wickes etc. This works quite well for
fairly small areas.

If you want to resurface you might get by with a skim coat (about 1"
thick / 1/4" asphalt), and this can be OK for light domestic traffic. If
you want a proper full-scale job you would probably pay at least £30-00p
per square yard.

Avoid the gypsies - top price - appalling job!
