If you are considering the Do It Yourself project but need a rough idea of what is involved, how to get the materials and equipment needed and how much it will cost, first check out the site at http://www.doityourself.com/stry/calculating-asphalt-driveway-costs to calculate the planning necessary and the costs. For the answers to questions like what does it cost to repave or repair an asphalt
. driveway, I would refer to http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/399094/five_advantages_of_asphalt_driveways.html where the cost advantages are compared to concrete driveways, etc. At http://www.millennialliving.com/content/asphalt-driveways-and-alternatives there is a discussion of the cost of maintenance of asphalt driveways and the alternative driveways. How an asphalt driveway holds up under weather conditions, salting, and snow removal is answered at http://www.mjipaving.com/Sections-read-5.html. An asphalt driveway can also be stamped and colored to look like paving brick and though at an increase per square foot in cost, the effect is so aesthetic that many feel the extra cost is well worth it. But see the comparison of the costs at http://www.costhelper.com/cost/home-garden/driveway.html to make up your mind.
