Angieâs List members recently reported paying an average of $5,308, with a pricing range between $4,500 and $6,100. The average cost of a concrete driveway, by comparison, is almost $7,400. CostHelper estimates the cost to install an asphalt driveway to be between $2,300 and $10,300. Homeowners typically pay per square foot. Reibling adds the average cost per square foot is between $3.50 and $4.50. Some asphalt contractors may charge by the ton, with the cost ranging from $100 to $150 per ton. Reibling, meanwhile, has a minimum charge of $2,800 for smaller driveway because the same amount of equipment needs to be brought to the job, regardless of its size.
The cost to build a backyard pond can vary greatly. The size, style, materials and equipment you select will all impact the final price of your pond. You can expect to pay between $5,000 and $20,000 for a custom pond.
A koi pond should be 1000 gallons minimum. If you live in an area that freezes in the winter, part of the pond should be at least 4 feet deep. This isn't as big as it sounds, so bigger would definitely be better. The price depends on if you do the work yourself or hire someone else. You'll need a pond liner, filter, rock, plants, and fish. All that will probably cost about $1000-3000 depending on the size of the pond. Labor will roughly double the price. If you do it yourself you can rent a backhoe fairly inexpensively.
