Frequently Asked Questions ( FAQs)

What is the best base for asphalt driveway?

Strong blacktop driveways are typically built using crushed angular gravel as a base. This gravel needs to be a minimum of 6 inches thick for light vehicle traffic such as cars and pickup trucks.

What is the best thickness for an asphalt driveway?

A 4-inch thickness may be adequate, but 5 or even 6 inches of full-depth asphalt will assure you of a stronger, stable driveway under a wider range of climate and loads. As an option, some contractors use 6 to 8 inches of compacted aggregate, or gravel, as a base under 3 inches of asphalt pavement.

The best temperature for paving asphalt is about 70 degrees Fahrenheit. For most people, that would make the late spring or early summer the best time of year for a new driveway, but that will vary depending on where you live.

Asphalt paving cost per square foot

Asphalt paving costs $5 to $9 per square foot on average. Asphalt materials and installation labor costs $4 to $6 per square foot, plus basic excavating and installing a gravel subgrade costs $2 to $4 per square foot. Adding colors, patterns, curbs, or sidewalks cost extra.

ASPHALT PAVING COST PER SQUARE FOOT
Factor	Cost per square foot
Gravel subgrade installation	$2 – $4
Asphalt materials and installation	$4 – $6
Total cost	$5 – $9

Asphalt paving requirements:

Sub-surface layer of compacted gravel for drainage and support. A thicker gravel driveway base layer between the soil and the asphalt increases lifespan.
Binder course (basecoat) asphalt layer with coarse stones.
Finish course (topcoat) asphalt layer with ground stones, tack-coat adhesive, and sealer.

Cost to pave an asphalt road

The average cost to pave a private one-lane asphalt road is $40 to $90 per linear foot. Paving a two-lane (24′-wide) asphalt road costs $75 to $180 per linear foot or $388,000 to $920,000 per mile. Blacktop road construction costs more than driveways because roads need 5″ to 11″ thick asphalt.

Asphalt Road Paving Cost

Length	Square footage	Average cost
100 Feet (one-lane)	1,200	$3,700 – $8,700
500 Feet (one-lane)	6,000	$17,700 – $42,700
1,000 Feet (one-lane)	12,000	$35,500 – $85,700
1 Mile (two-lane)	126,720	$388,000 – $920,000

Asphalt sidewalk or walkway cost

An average 48″-wide asphalt walkway or sidewalk costs $14 to $30 per linear foot. Installing a paved 50-foot asphalt sidewalk costs $620 to $1,600. Sidewalk construction requires a permit costing $45 to $75 that’s pulled by the contractor.

Asphalt path cost

Paving a 100-foot asphalt path costs $950 to $2,200 on average or $9.5 to $22 per linear foot. Garden paths are typically 30 to 36 inches wide and don’t require a gravel base. Hard-to-access and curved paths with complicated designs cost more because of the additional labor.

Cost to repave driveway

The average cost to repave an asphalt driveway is $6 to $12 per square foot with a new gravel base or $5 to $9 per square foot with an existing base. Repaving a 2-car (20’x20’) asphalt driveway costs $1,800 to $4,200 on average. Repaving includes removing and hauling away the existing asphalt.

Cost to lay asphalt over concrete driveway

Laying new asphalt over a concrete driveway costs $1 to $3 per square foot. Contractors fill cracks with concrete-repair caulk before paving. Resurfacing concrete with asphalt is cheaper than replacing concrete. However, special preparation is required to stabilize the concrete and prevent cracks.

Installers cut out and patch potholes first with stabilized base asphalt.
Contractors spread self-adhesive fabric over the expansion joints.
The entire concrete surface gets a layer of geotextile paving fabric to secure it.
Contractors spread 3 to 4 inches of hot-mix asphalt and compact it.
