How Much Does a Blacktop Driveway Cost?
A blacktop driveway costs the area times your price per square foot. Blacktop is asphalt, so its cost matches asphalt paving: mid-range, cheaper than concrete and more durable than gravel. The price depends on thickness, base preparation and local asphalt rates. The calculator estimates the total from your price per square foot, the same as for any asphalt driveway, since blacktop and asphalt are the same material.
Is Blacktop the Same as Asphalt?
Yes, blacktop and asphalt refer to the same paving material: a mix of aggregate bound with asphalt cement. Blacktop is just a common name for it. So a blacktop driveway and an asphalt driveway are estimated identically, by area times price per square foot. The calculator treats them the same, and you can use either this page or the asphalt driveway page for your estimate.
