Extending an asphalt driveway
wrote in message ... When spring shows up, I want to extend the turnaround at the top of my driveway by as much as 20 feet. The existing driveway is in pretty good shape. I figure it's good for at least 5 more years. Normally I like to pull into the turnaround and back up to the garage, but the turnaround is way too short to do that. In the summer I just drive on the grass. In the late fall, winter, and early spring, I have to make a 3-point turn because I don't want to tear up the lawn. How to extend: 1. Asphalt 2. Concrete pad 3. Pavers I'm thinking pavers right now because I think I can do it pretty cheap, and I won't have to deal with tearing up a near-new asphalt patch in 5 years, or busting up a reinforced concrete pad in 5 years. Thoughts? That's what I did (pavers) to create a "temporary" parking space for a full-sized van. I only expected to need it for 2 years and ended up using it for 6. It worked great and was easily removed when the van was sold. |
