madcat6183 Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 Anyone know/have any family/friends that do blacktop work? I have a driveway that I can fit my truck in, but not my travel trailer. And I prefer not to park either on the street as their is too much money invested in both.Essentially all I want to do is add a pull off from my current drive next to my garage, then basically add a free standing parking cover tall enough for my TT to park under and my truck in the winters. There would be little to no grading as it is extremely flat and the distance/design only would work one way, so its pretty basic.Im looking for an area like 40x10 so nothing huge, so far the only quote I've gotten is 1,200, so nothing too bad, but figure if anyone on here does it, or knows anyone looking for a fall job before the holidays, it would be worth asking.They can call me 419-610-5666 and leave a message or if anyone has contact info PM me.

jporter12 Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 I would suggest concrete, not blacktop, for a place that you will be parking regularly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidgetTodd Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 Blacktop will sink and it's too late in the season for a small asphalt job, plants and small companies are shutting down. Open plants are running mainly for large jobs right now. It also will need grading, need a good stone base for an asphalt parking area. Concrete is the only way to go for that and the price will be about the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jporter12 Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 Price was the only question I had on the concrete, and MT would know better than me, all I've done is projects with friends for their own use, not paid jobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidgetTodd Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 Price is about the same, this late in the season the black stuff would actually probably be more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
