The only way to answer that question without knowing all of the details would be to offer a range of prices so wide that you would not gain any meaningful information. The true cost of installing a new asphalt driveway depend on factors that can be different for every job.
The Cost To Install An Asphalt Driveway
1. How far is the job from the batch plant and the contractor’s equipment? Transportation costs must be accounted for in the quote. The further away you are, the greater the costs for fuel, drivers’ wages and similar items.
2. How much work needs to be done on the site before the asphalt can be applied? The site needs to have adequate drainage, be free of obstructions and have any deep ruts smoothed. The more work the contractor must do to prepare the site, the higher your costs will be.
3. Will manual installation be required? Contractors have a lot of heavy equipment that can speed up the job. However, the site may not be accessible, or there may be areas requiring the crew to lay the asphalt manually. Since this requires more time, labor costs (and your price) will be higher.
4. What is the exact size and configuration of the driveway? Contractors must compute precisely how much asphalt will be needed. They must take into account the thickness required as well as the square footage.
5. Are you requesting additional services or products? For example, you might want to have sub-base materials installed or have your driveway sealcoated.
6. How much time will be needed to build the driveway’s foundation, and what will the materials cost? Different terrains and traffic patterns can require foundations of varying depth. If your project requires a thick foundation, it can cost more.
