A circular saw will only cut about 2″ deep, but luckily that was far enough in our driveway. We snapped a chalk line, then just tore into it. The next thing you’re going to want to do is find the smallest pair of shorts you own, and put them on. We used a 15 amp Makita 7.25″ circular saw with a diamond blade.Ģ. Here are some step-by-step directions on how to cut asphalt with a circular saw (or at least how we did it):ġ.
My wife, realizing that nothing was going to get done unless she took matters into her own hands, went to the big box store and came home with a $16 diamond blade for our circular saw. I give up and go play with my daughter KP. So I did what I always do when I’m stumped. Rental fees were going to run in the $75-$100 range, and that just didn’t seem right for the 20′ cut we needed to make in the asphalt. We don’t have any fancy masonry saws or anything, and renting one just didn’t seem economical. The concrete work is happening Saturday morning (fingers crossed), so we needed to figure out how to get this done. So it fell on us to clean the edge of that asphalt up so we could pour a nice concrete apron in front of the garage.
I hired them to pour a slab, and that’s just what they did.
Not surprising since it wasn’t really their job. The guys that poured the new slab didn’t clean the edge up either. Their job was just to get rid of the old garage. They didn’t bother trying to leave a clean edge on the asphalt, and I didn’t really expect them to. The guys that demo’d the old garage left a jagged edge of asphalt where the asphalt driveway met the concrete slab of the old driveway. One thing that’s catching up to us acting as our own General Contractors is all the small stuff that each sub we hire doesn’t do because it wasn’t really their job. Progress is happening slowly on the garage project.
