If you re-did your driveway, how long...

was it between when they first dug it up & when they came back to start the blacktop & placing the brick edging along the side? Is 3 or 4 weeks the norm? Thanks!

did you have new gravel laid? usually they want you to drive on it for a few weeks to pack it down, then lay the blacktop

Ours was done in a week. They did a lot of work on their end to pack everything down and it was not long at all for us.

ETA: It was a week from start to finish for us. From the day they dug up the old driveway to the day they laid down the new driveway. We didn't have to drive on the gravel.

Yes, I'm sorry - I should have said that! They laid down the gravel the day that they took up the old driveway & the grass we're expanding it over...

It's been 2 weeks today and they told us it will be another week or 2 until they come back...I guess that's normal if we're packing it down ourselves with the cars...
