Three Cheapest Ways in Paving Your Driveway

Having the thought to install a new driveway or replace the old one? You need to keep in mind that it won’t be cheap. Choosing the materials and hiring the professionals will surely cost you a lot of money. However, there are some driveway methods that can help you save your money. Here are five cheapest methods in paving your driveway you can consider:

• Concrete Driveway

There is no cheaper way other than to make your own driveway. With concrete driveway, the materials you need are only cement, sand, and aggregate. Still, you need to spend a lot of time to plan and do the installments. Each method has their own downside, don’t they?

First, you need to plan where you want the driveway to be and make sure the land is even so there won’t be puddles of water inside your driveway. Don’t forget to plan where you want the water to exit your driveway. Planning all of them carefully will help you in its later maintenance. Dump the mixture of the concrete to the planned area and even it out. Wait until it dry. Here, you can choose to let it be with its natural color or paint them up.  In its maintenance, what you need to is resealing the cracks.

The method used in making asphalt is mixing asphalt cement with sand and rock. Like concrete, asphalt is known for its durability. The downsides of this method are you will need the help of professionals in installing this kind of driveway and it is available in only one choice of colors. Because you cannot install it on your own, there are two options left to have it cheaper.  First, you can start a neighborhood project where all of the homeowners in your area install asphalt driveway from one contractor. Buying in bucks can save your money whether it is for groceries or a driveway! Two, you can request the contractor to use “leftover” asphalt or grated asphalt with cheaper price. But bear in mind that using second grade materials will cost you more on its maintenance later.

• Bricks Driveway

Bricks are available in various colors and shapes which you can choose and adjust to the plan of yours. Using bricks, you can make numerous designs for your driveway. You can have your own DIY-project with your family in installing this brick driveway. Moreover, among those methods mentioned above, this method requires the lowest maintenance cost. When the bricks break or crack, you can only change it individually. Although bricks can be a little bit pricier that the other materials, it is worth to consider as it is known for its durability and timeless look which will definitely save your money on its maintenance.

No matter what method you choose to install your driveway, you should think carefully what you want your driveway to be. With good planning and right installments, your driveway will last longer.
