The base matters more than the surface

Most failed patios and driveways are base failures, not material failures. Get the compacted depth right for Triangle clay and the top layer will outlast the person who laid it.

How this is worked out

No hidden fudge factor. This is the whole calculation.

  1. Pick a material, which sets the low and high end of the typical range.
  2. Your driveway area multiplies that per-sq ft range to give the spread you see.
  3. Both ends are typical Triangle installed costs gathered from published industry ranges. They are not quotes, and no number here comes from our own bookings.
