How Much Does an Asphalt Driveway Cost?
An asphalt driveway costs the area times your price per square foot for asphalt. A standard two-car driveway of around 600 square feet is a common size. Asphalt sits between gravel and concrete on price, and the figure depends on the thickness, the base preparation and local asphalt prices, which track oil costs. The calculator estimates the total from the price per square foot you enter for your area.
How Long Does an Asphalt Driveway Last?
An asphalt driveway lasts roughly 15 to 20 years with maintenance, which means sealcoating every few years to protect the surface from water and UV. It is repairable and can be resurfaced rather than fully replaced. This lifespan and upkeep matter when comparing to concrete, which lasts longer but costs more upfront. The calculator gives the install estimate; factor in periodic sealing for the long-term cost.
