I will most likely be spending $32K to repave my blacktop driveway.
The estimate is $5.40/square foot.
I am in southern NH.
In addition to that I had about thirty trees taken down with a crane.$8K.
Then I reshaped the hillside that the trees were on adjacent to the driveway. Small excavator and skid steer for the day $3K.
So, the entire project will be around $43.000.
This is far the most money I have ever spent on a home improvement project.
I have a long blacktop as well. They can dry out (lose color) and develop cracks (thanks tree roots) and everyone in the blacktop business wants to redo mine. One actually wanted to rip it out and lay down a new one (for fifty thousand dollars). I go to Lowes and buy blacktop sealer and apply it myself. Squeegee it out. Hard work but I don’t have the money to hire it done.
