We do driveway by hand all the time. We however always do a binder course and then top coat. These small driveways are just inefficient to bring a paver to, unload, get one stupid dump and then reload it. We can do them by hand almost just as quick. There’s really nothing wrong with this driveway if it’s the proper thickness
I can assure u that it look easy but its not... dont waste ur time and hire professionels!! Trust me u wanna listen to me bcz I work in the asphalt business...
When I lived in the south, there was this company where a bunch of guys would just dump a bunch of asphalt, rake it out, and then stomp on it with special shoes to flatten it out. Them boys sure did work for their money. And surprisingly, their technique gave you a half decent job that was really cheap
I can remember all those times that a home owner would approach me while pulling traffic control/flagging duty on Michigan roads & ask " Do you do private drives?"- Sure do. But I can't give ya an estimate, though.
I was thinking the same thing. People on here think that this methods is somehow ok. In no way shape or form is it the correct way to lay an asphalt driveway.
I’m sorry to inform you that he done that exactly they way you should. For something that small you have to do it by hand and yes when you do a job by hand your gonna notice more rock but that’s normal but i guess you guys don’t know that because you don’t specialize in that business so if you don’t know what your talking about don’t put down somebody’s company thank you have a nice day
Not gonna be a lot of weight on it nor traffic, grounds already been packed from years of parking on it, if the base and sub base are solid there is no need to rip it all up and do it over again would be a waste of time and money
Best video for *HOW NOT TO INSTALL AN ASPHALT DRIVEWAY* Defiantly don't hire these chumps, unless you like pissing away your money. Hire someone who has proper equipment and knows what their doing.
Amazing and very interesting video🎥✨... Super like👌👌👌. Good information and very helpful.. Do keep posting Warm regards and best wishes The UnknownManCub 👍😎👨🏭
If you know anything about asphalt that looks like shit and will crack and blow apart. When you work it by hand like that you segregate the mix A professional asphalt job will last 20 plus years sure you paid half for less than half the life.
You can’t install a driveway without doing a lot of hand work, but they should have taken the bones out. I honestly don’t think it would have been too bad if they’d had a working vibratory system a good roller operator.
Whats the point of the garden rakes? I've been doing this for years and I knew right away it was gonna be a moto cross rhythm section with a bunch of shitty rock on top 😂
Garden rakes are better for the innital knockdown just to get the high spots into the low spots, it’s easier on the body, and the tool. The asphalt rakes are aluminum and can bend easy moving big piles. Also the garden rakes don’t bring the larger rock to the surface like the asphalt rake.

AT LEAST THEY ARE DOING A TINY DRIVEWAY. the majority of asphalt companies wont deliver you the asphalt for a diy or offer a quote on a small driveway. Everyone is too big for their britches
@@TheKenLucas scumbags your ripping ppl off with those prices .my husband has paved his whole life 36 yrs in business and nowhere 7 to 13 dollars a sq ft you pull prick one coat of mix no binder , fly by night crackheads!
If you want it to come out true and look nice.....yes you do. And for the record I have laid/been a part of laying over 2 million US Tons in my career working in the asphalt industry.
Sure you don't need a paver and I've only done a few by hand but that mix looks cold, always worked hard to get the prep done, glue the edges and then hit the batch plant, lay it down literally smokin hot. Even on the final roll its steaming like crazy, I was still 135 after the final roll
@johnsonbar5022 1 second ago Is there such a thing as a "floating" driveway? I'm about to have my driveway paved and I notice dirt with a bit of stone in it. I ask the contractor, "where is the crushed stone?" He tells me that the asphalt will be laid over the top of the dirt and stone, as a floating driveway. I never seen such a thing.(?)
I have been laying asphalt every day for 23 years and I can honestly say that’s a Gypsie crew absolute con men the job won’t last and another thing you dug it out with the skid steer and then tipped the asphalt out into huge piles and everyone struggling to shovel big piles and rake big piles when you should’ve had the lorry with tipper up out on the road a run it in with skid steer absolute amateurs
I absolutely agree! I’ve never done that kind of work nor am I going to pretend I know how to do it better. Everyone in the video looked hungover and didn’t want to be there and I don’t believe it was because of the heat. They definitely look like the kid of crew to overcharge and never look back at their shotty work.
Lol not all Gypsy is cons. And there’s no difference of laying it by hand when concrete gets laid the same way. Before you go running your mouth find out the truth first hillbilly
Two years later bet that driveway didn’t last as long as this video

After seeing this video I wouldn’t let this crew sweep a driveway never mind paving it. What a bunch of Ham and Eggers.
anyone who uses garden rakes, is not someone I want to pave my driveway. Love the sod roller BTW. And PULL THE DAMN BONES!
Use a loop rake it's made for asphalt
That's a York rake
@@brianbastoni3141 well what ever you call it, is is NOT an asphalt lute/rake
We use a spazzle in the uk
Gives me confidence that I can do this on my own.

Do you spray water before you roll it. Because if I don't why does the asphalt stick to my roller. Too hot. ????
This is how you DIY a driveway. Less than 1/2 price on your own.
You have to know how to pitch it or it won’t last!

A sit on roller looks proper to me.
The only bad part is no stone but we can't see the base in this vid it's possible it was even though not probable
how about a little water for that saw!!
Well im guessing that's the cheapest way to do it.😳😲🤔
Looks like a fly-by-night operation.
Yea, they didn't look super professional, but they didn't do a half bad job. Question is, how much did they charge for this

7 tons

Show how, dont talk about it.😂
How much square yard 2” deep
that mix does not look like fun to play with, plus id never use that size aggregate for a residential driveway, gives off a terrible finish
nope that looks like HL8 which is a base coat. 3/4 inch stones. driveway top coat should be HL3 or HL3A
I’m not sure what that means but driveway mix should be 3/8”
You need to get them wheeles checked out on the tractor. It's going bald
I think you must be joking
They Are meant to be bald like that for a reason
What does a 2 car drive way similar to your video cost?
id guess 5-6 grand
7-13$ per square foot

Why do white people always call music they don’t like porno music? So weird.
Wow, garden racks, 1960s Bob cat, and no paver?? we call you guys door knockers.. your not a real paving company
