I rented a little hoe

And a professional hoe owner/driver and turned them both loose on my driveway. Driveway paved surface had deteriorated over the last several years and was torn up pretty bad from the same hoe tearing out the old walls, right last year, left this year.

So I made a decision. Put down pavers instead of blacktop, right now. Before the snow comes

Driveway is 96' long so yeah, kinda pricey. We also widened it quite a bit with the walls out further than original. When I bought this place in '88, it had one lane. Now it's like 3.

The driveway cost half as much as the house did 28 yrs. ago. I like driveways and garages. And trucks and cars. Typical male.

No mortar at all anywhere in the driveway. You lay it over 2B modified gravel base and seal the cracks with polymeric sand that hardens like a rock after you hose it down. The hardest thing is constantly checking level and keeping the slope towards the road.
