Asphalt Calculator

A standard 12×60 ft driveway at 2 inches thick needs about 4-5 tons of hot mix asphalt. At 3 inches (recommended), about 6-7 tons. Most contractors quote by the ton ($100-150/ton for materials) plus installation labor ($3-5/sqft).

Residential driveways: 2-3 inches on a 6-8 inch gravel base. Heavy vehicle traffic: 3-4 inches. Commercial parking lots: 3-4 inches. Overlay/resurfacing: 1.5-2 inches over existing pavement.

15-20 years with proper maintenance. Seal coat every 3-5 years to protect against water and UV damage. Fill cracks annually. Avoid heavy vehicles on new asphalt for 30 days. Well-maintained asphalt can last 25+ years.
