Raising level of asphalt driveway
Raising level of asphalt driveway
(OP)
I need to raise the grade on an asphalt driveway approximately 2 feet. The driveway is 100 feet in length and slopes down at about 17 degrees. Can I crush the existing asphalt and use the crushed material as a base with an additional 2 feet of 3/4" angled crushed stone. I would like to leave the asphalt in place if possible rather than incur the costs of removal and substitute material. If this is possible, what is the best method to properly prepare the old asphault with commonly available construction equipment - such as a front loader, backhoe, etc.?
Thanks
Thanks

Depend on material costs you may not have to use all crushed stonefill, if you have pit run gravel available could use that, maybe just 2"- 4" crushed stone under the pavement.
That's my shot at it without knowing other important particulars, such as terrain, climate, available materials, etc.
