zeitgeist57 Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 http://www.terrafirmenterprises.com/application/driveways.html Need to recoat my asphalt driveway, but looking at the next couple of years, I would be interested in doing something to replace the asphalt. I have a collapsed drain pipe from my gutter anyway; excavation will be a necessity at somepoint... Anyone ever worked with pavers, or a permeable concrete surface? It may be more expensive, but I'd be willing to do it myself. BTW, I have dug up an old, 100ft. long driveway and laid down a 5"-deep, fiber-reinforced concrete driveway myself (with the help of friends and family, of course!) Saved me $7k!

AWW$HEEET Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 I am tempted to do my walkway in pavers as well. Is running a jackhammer very tough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojoe Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 I am tempted to do my walkway in pavers as well. Is running a jackhammer very tough? No, just hold on. Or use a demo gun. Kind of like a mini jack hammer for smaller jobs or over head work. Sorry for the thread jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twistedrx7 Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 pavers are not hard at all, just make sure everything if prepped properly and go from there. Im looking at redoing my driveway with a mix of concrete and pavers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
