Question: So how CAN we reduce the cost for asphalt driveways?
How can you have an asphalt driveway installed at a cheaper price? Well, it means expending extra time and energy, but it's possible....
Answer:

This will take a little leg-work and communication on your part, but it's doable. Check to see if any other people in your neighborhood are planning to have asphalt driveways installed. If all of you agree to go through the same contractor at the same time, you'll all reduce the cost for your asphalt driveways. Contractors can offer you a better price in such circumstances, because they can buy the material in greater quantities.
