My neighbor wants me to re-grade his driveway. I've yet to look real closely at it but I expect to find:
1. not much gravel but many potholes
2. a high crown
3. relatively hard packed dirt
The driveway is approximately 700'. I have a good rear blade and teeth for the loader. My neighbor does not want to put down new gravel now but just wants me to get the crown of the road and potholes under control. I plan on walking the driveway with him to further judge the situation and set his expectations.
I don't want to charge him a premium for this job as I'm pretty new to it (thought I have graded the community's private road many times). What should I reasonably charge for this? I'd like to give him the option of putting down the gravel and grading it too. Ignoring, for the moment the cost of the gravel, what should I charge to put down and grade the gravel?
Thanks for any advice,
Peter
