In Summerlyn and Green Valley the builder asphalt went down thin over a base that is still settling. Once it is coming out, pricing concrete alongside asphalt is worth the ten minutes, because the excavation and base are the same either way.
Out toward Bond Head and the marsh the driveways are long rural lanes carrying farm equipment and loaded trucks. Asphalt usually costs less over that distance, so a common answer here is asphalt for the lane and concrete at the house, the turnaround and the apron. We self-perform both, and we will price the whole run in concrete too if you want to compare the two.
Wherever we pour, the sequence is the same: excavate to depth, compact a granular base, form to the finished grade, place an air-entrained mix and cut the joints to spacing.
Around the older Station area the lots are tighter and the existing surface is usually at the end of its life rather than mid-life.
We handle concrete driveways across Bradford — including Bradford core, Bond Head, Summerlyn, Green Valley, and the Holland Marsh edge, and the streets and properties around the Holland Marsh, the Bradford GO Station, and Scanlon Creek Conservation Area.
