Can anyone inform me whether I should be asking how much asphalt they actually lay down—i.e., 2 inches versus 3 inches? Or is this standard? Thanks!   Mergele Citizen Username: Mergele Post Number: 255 Registered: 7-2003 Posted on Friday, February 18, 2005 - 10:56 pm:        I had my driveway done last fall. I can't remember how much asphalt was used, but I got a couple of quotes and asked the question, and they all gave me the same answer. I tend to think it was 3".   Bobkat Supporter Username: Bobk Post Number: 7659 Registered: 5-2001 Posted on Saturday, February 19, 2005 - 6:25 am:        the thicker the better. When getting quotes make sure you are comparing apples and apples.   sbenois Citizen Username: Sbenois Post Number: 13214 Registered: 10-2001 Posted on Saturday, February 19, 2005 - 2:28 pm:        Call Mike Giordano. He's in the book. He's very reasonable and does superb work.   microgem Citizen Username: Microgem Post Number: 47 Registered: 2-2002 Posted on Sunday, February 20, 2005 - 7:27 pm:        We are looking to redo our driveway. We tried to get it done by Mike Giordano a while back, but after waiting 3 months for him to start the job he never showed up and we never heard from him again. We moved on to other work in our house, but still need to repave our driveway. I would appreciate any other recommendations.   mammabear Citizen Username: Mammabear Post Number: 179 Registered: 5-2001 Posted on Monday, February 21, 2005 - 7:55 pm:        We used All Pro Pavers - so did our neghbors.

I'll look around for the number...   weekends Citizen Username: Weekends Post Number: 52 Registered: 1-2002 Posted on Tuesday, February 22, 2005 - 10:14 am:        How much should I expect to pay to repave a standard Maplewood driveway, say, +/-120 feet? Ball park figure is fine.
