I have some pretty substantial holes in an 22-year-old asphalt driveway over baserock. Lots of alligatoring, but still useful. I cannot afford a new driveway and I can patch the smaller holes with a few bags of asphalt (which I've done before successfully).
But one of the holes is on a steep hairpin (fedex and UPS shift there) and has developed a hole that is nearly 3 feet long and 14 inches wide and WELL into the baserock.
Do I need to hire a professional paver to do this one? The rocks that are coming out of the hole are tearing up the rest of the asphalt down hill from there.
Me, I'm cheap. I'd dump a couple bags of concrete mix in, sprinkle it down well. After concrete set up a couple weeks I might put some asphalt over it.
The driveway is 1200 feet long by 10 feet. Repaving the whole thing is not an option now.
If I WERE to put some concrete in there--not saying I would--how long before it could be driven on, with or without asphalt? The trucks are pretty hard on the road (crumbling the edges, spinning out unnecessarily), but I could block the driveway to them for some period of time.
Day or so. Three foot by 14 ", how deep. all you are doing is making something to fill up the hole, right. Do like everyone else, set your lawn chair in front of it.

Funny you should say that. i just set a lawn chair in a different driveway a couple weeks back and somebody moved it and parked right where I put it. Some people.
I'd just put tape across the bottom of the driveway. If somebody got half way up, I don't want them backing down and going off a cliff.
No word from the paver yet. I'm itching to go buy some concrete now. You just pour it in dry and wet it down? I have never done this before...
Not sure how deep. Not counting the asphalt itself, 1-2 inches? I'll measure it on my next trip out.
