Is sidewalk standard distance to curb or is it quite a bit further back?Our driveway is really pitted and it's time to be replaced. It is clear in the last 10 years that the sidewalk and driveway approach was replaced but they never did the portion leading to my garage.
It is $3,200 to redo from the sidewalk to my garage and $5,200 to do the whole thing to the street. I would like to just redo the whole thing but the driveway approach is probably at 85% "good".
should I spring for the extra 2,000 bucks for the sidewalk and approach replacement to make it all look the same or should I save the money and just do the portion in front of my garage?
I wouldn't replace that, pitted is fine.
Gotchya. So it's fair in comparison because there is more labor with that type of pour vs the rest.The approach is at a slight incline with angles on each side near the street, 12 feet deep with a 4' sidewalk (16' total)
The driveway is about 22' wide.
30' to sidewalk
4' of sidewalk
12' of approach
You wouldn't replace the driveway at all?

Structurally it looks ok. You could probably have it resurfaced and save some cash.Obviously i do. It looks bad, it heaves near my garage, and my kids play out there all summer.
I think I'll go with just the $3200 option. Woulde get us a nice drive and save some money. TBH I'm surprised how many people on here say it looks fine.
If you have the money do it all. You get it on the back end selling or refinancing.
Probably not.Doubt if you will get a 1 to 1 return on this investment.
