I recently got a price on asphalt $2.00 a sqft.. It came to about $35,000.00 to pave my drive, and that's if I had all the prep work done.
Life's concerns should be about the 120lb pack your trying to get to the top of the mountain, and not the rock in your boot.

I think it's all the fault of that demon that flew in on Air Force One yesterday. Reminds me of the earth quake and solar eclipse that took place the day of Christ's crucifixion. OK, not the same, but not a good Friday.

Deck, it comforts me to know that your kids are taking such an interest Church. There may be hope for the future yet.

When I was a kid they would lay rocks and then later come back and coat them with tar. Would that be a cheaper option? We just called it hardball in east texas, but I'm sure it has a different name in other parts of the country.

Deck, that would just hold the dust down.
The issue is water and leaves. I thought I had enough leaves cleaned out of the ditch especially after the rain from a few weeks ago. With a frog choken, duck drowning, gully washer like we had in the middle of the night, it washes leaves in the ditch down to the culverts and clogs them up. the water runs out on the drive and runs down the drive causing the damage. I have trench drains across the drive in strategic places, but the volume of water along with the leaves, along with an issue left over from the snow we had, the drains were overwhelmed.

Neighbor of mine stopped and talked to road crew running one of those asphalt grinders.  He was much closer to them then the place they wee dumping grinding they gave several truck loads to him free.  He spread that out and rolled it with rented roller.  He sealed that then the next year had them come in and top coat it with fine grade asphalt at a fraction of the price of a complete job...

Morning everybody!!! I Hope all of you had a great Easter!!!!!
 
Me and mine were down with a stomach bug that just made ya want to do NOTHING...
 
I did get out Saturday afternoon while I was feeling better and ran two passes thru the garden with the tiller.  If I get a chance this evening I'll till in some Asomite, lime, 10-10-10 and some peat.
 
It's supposed to rain the rest of the week....  I need to get the garden ready early!  My bedding tomatoes are already 12" high.  I'll have to plant them early with frost protection....
