Enter the paved-area specs
Choose the asphalt scope, square footage, use type, asphalt depth, and base depth to get a planning range.
Estimate asphalt cost before you draw the paved area.
Start with square footage, asphalt scope, pavement depth, base depth, and site conditions. Then add a location or open the map estimator to shape the real driveway, pad, or parking area.
Add surface conditions
Include removal, drainage, striping, stabilization fabric, sealcoat, and equipment access that can change asphalt bids.
Move to the property map
Open the estimator with the calculator choices carried over, then draw the real paved area and calculate excavation.
Asphalt cost calculator
Your planning estimate updates immediately as you change the paved area and asphalt scope. Add an address or ZIP when you want it localized with approved cost factors.

This estimate is not localized yet. You can still draw it on the map, or add an address first for local context.
What changes the asphalt estimate?
The calculator starts with your selected asphalt scope. If you add a location, it can show approved local adjustments so the estimate is more useful than a generic national range.
Scope and square footage
New asphalt, overlays, parking areas, and sealcoating use different installed pricing ranges.
Asphalt and base depth
Vehicle use, base prep, and pavement thickness can move both materials and compaction labor.
Removal, drainage, and access
Old surface removal, drainage corrections, stabilization fabric, and restricted equipment access can change the estimate quickly.
Local context
Published local factors can adjust the estimate using wage, demand, regional cost, weather, soil, permit, and approved pricing data.
