View Paving and Asphalt template →A typical 600 sq ft driveway (two-car, straight) costs $1,800–$4,500 for asphalt. Concrete driveways run $4,000–$8,000 for the same area. Asphalt costs less upfront but needs sealing every 3–5 years.
With proper maintenance — sealing every 3–5 years and filling cracks annually — asphalt driveways last 15–25 years. Without maintenance, expect 10–15 years before needing resurfacing.
Resurfacing lays a new 1.5–2 inch asphalt layer over the existing surface — works if the base is solid. Repaving removes everything to the subbase and starts fresh — required when base failure causes cracking or heaving.
