Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to pave a driveway?
Installed 2026 rates are roughly $1–$3 per sq ft for gravel, $7–$13 for asphalt, $8–$18 for concrete, and $10–$25 for pavers. A standard 600 sq ft two-car driveway runs about $600–$1,800 in gravel, $4,200–$7,800 in asphalt, $4,800–$10,800 in concrete, or $6,000–$15,000 in pavers.
Asphalt or concrete: which is better for a driveway?
Asphalt is cheaper upfront and flexes well in cold climates but needs resealing every 3–5 years. Concrete lasts 30+ years with less maintenance but costs more and can crack if poorly installed.
Are paver driveways worth the extra cost?
Pavers cost the most but offer the best curb appeal, and individual units can be lifted and reset if one cracks or stains, making long-term repairs simpler than with a poured slab.
Does removing an old driveway add to the cost?
Yes. Demolishing and hauling away an existing driveway typically adds about $1–$3 per sq ft on top of the new paving cost, depending on the material being removed.
