Repair driveway

The concrete slabs provide some volume too...
Maybe it will reach 1.5 meters then?

You can fill the grooves with new asphalt, but the budget of kr1,000:- isn't enough for that either

Even though I was extremely clear in my volume calculation, it was obviously not clear enough for you.

TS wrote that he will dig 30 cm deep and fill up with concrete and slabs.

I mention 25 cm of concrete.
30 cm to dig out, fill with 25 cm of concrete, leaving, tada!
5 cm for ground slabs.
So no, 500 kr will not cover one and a half meters.
In fact, it will probably only cover a single meter since the slabs also cost a few kronor.

That TS thinks a single tiny meter is quite a lot is incomprehensible to me...

Asphalt crusher type 200 SEK per ton and what I find about 1.6-1.8 tons/cubic. So 1000 SEK minus transport costs is enough for 5-6 cubic fill. Hard to beat.

For concrete, the closest is to significantly mix the concrete with concrete crusher, which in this case probably works just as well as pure concrete. Concrete crusher is free if you look for ads on e.g. used concrete slabs and own a sledgehammer.

TS wrote that he plans to dig 30 cm deep and fill up with concrete and slabs.

I mention 25 cm concrete.
Dig out 30 cm and fill 25 cm with concrete, then remains, tada!
5 cm for ground slabs.
So no, 500 kr will not be enough for one and a half meters.
In reality, it's probably only enough for 1 single meter since the slabs also cost a few kronor.

That TS then finds a single measly meter to be quite a lot is incomprehensible to me...

Yes, 1 meter is not much. I will reduce the concrete. If I use 15 cm concrete and buy Cement and fix sand, it will be cheaper. But I'll probably try Asphalt millings first, as it seems cheaper.

Yes, counting was certainly not something that you can do.

Lucky for you, there's help here on Byggahus.

Asphalt crush is definitely the cheapest solution for you.
I would recommend that you rent a tamper and press it down along the entire track. It could prevent future settlements...

Can't you show some pictures of the problem?
