What's under a Jonesburg driveway
Montgomery County's upland flats carry claypan soils with very slow permeability and a perched water table through winter and spring, so subgrade drainage matters more than it looks like it should. A ridge helps water leave the surface. We dig out soft material and compact rock in layers before paving.
Bids are only comparable when they spell out the same things: base depth, compacted thickness, how edges are finished, and where water is meant to go. Ask for those before you pick a number.
Compacted asphaltTypically 2 to 3 in. for a car drive
Stone baseTypically 4 to 8 in., compacted
Drive on itUsually 2 to 3 days, longer in heat
First sealcoatTypically 6 to 12 months after paving
Typical ranges. Your Jonesburg estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.
