We'd like to use concrete, but since redi-mix recently hit $100 a yard, our 4,000 sq ft driveway is just too big to justify the expense. We've been thinking about some type of paver, but really don't know enough about the installation cost or longevity. Has anyone recently compared the various products, or can you direct me to a website where I can learn more?
Just joined this forum and trying to learn the tools. Did you receive any responses to your note. We are in a similar situation but live in Chicago, We have the option of concrete, brick paver and asphalt. Want to know the pros and cons about these 3 materials, particularly, as it relates to our harsh winters.
