Walkerton is one of the seven towns of the county, out near the Marshall County line with farm ground on every side. The driveways here split into two groups. In town they are older, short, and often on their second surface. Outside town they are long gravel runs where somebody has finally had enough of grading and dust.
On a long run, the honest conversation happens before the quote. Not every rural drive should be paved. A gravel drive that is properly crowned, ditched on both sides, and topped with fresh angular stone drains well, handles farm traffic that would break up thin asphalt, and costs a fraction of paving. The trade is that you maintain it. We will price both options and let the length of your run make the argument.
Where asphalt is the right answer, the build is the same as anywhere else and the quantities are larger. Compacted stone in lifts on a rolled subgrade, geotextile fabric under any soft or wet stretch so the base and the clay stay separate, then two courses of hot mix rolled while they are still hot. Access matters out here too, since a paver, a roller, and a line of loaded trucks all have to get down the run and turn around at the end of it.
Paving season runs roughly May through October, because the plants close for winter. Getting a driveway measured and priced happens in any week of the year.
