Hello everyone,
I’m new here and will introduce myself properly when I get the chance. Recently, we tore up part of the asphalt in our driveway and rebuilt the base because the driveway had a severe bump leading up to the sidewalk, and otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to get out with my very low VW Beetle.
We did the base layer ourselves, using frost gravel and then a layer of mineral aggregate on top so that we could use the driveway again.
We have also already raised the manhole cover shown in the picture.
Now I have requested quotes from a few road construction companies for asphalt resurfacing. I received no feedback except from one company that visited to inspect the site in person. They then sent a quote charging 1800 euros for 2.5 hours of work including materials. The area to be asphalted measures 12m x 3m (39ft x 10ft).
I understand that the equipment and materials cost money, but isn’t this price a bit too high?
Has anyone had similar work done and can share price comparisons?
