Asphalt Price Per Ton Near Me by State
This page groups U.S. states into practical pricing bands so you can estimate asphalt price per ton near me before a local bid. Outside the U.S., use the tonnage calculator and enter your local price per ton or tonne. Canada and UK visitors can also use the same method for asphalt, blacktop, or tarmac planning.
Quick answer
Asphalt price per ton near me usually starts with local material price, then delivery and installation.
Use the state band as a planning range only. The real local number should come from a nearby asphalt plant or paving contractor because haul distance, minimum load, season, and site prep can change the quote.
Start with your state band
Use the region card to get a rough material and installed price range before you call anyone.
Calculate tons needed
Use your actual area, thickness, and waste allowance so the price is tied to a real quantity.
Call nearby suppliers
Ask for material-only, delivered, and installed pricing because each number means something different.
Use your state group as a starting point
These are broad planning ranges, not live local quotes. They are useful when you want to know whether your first estimate is in the right neighborhood before you call local contractors or nearby asphalt plants.
Northeast
Usually the highest cost band in this starter model.
Material price: $105 - $155 per ton
Installed price: $160 - $240 per ton
South
Often lower than coastal markets.
Material price: $85 - $130 per ton
Installed price: $130 - $205 per ton
Midwest
A middle-of-the-road estimate for many suburbs and smaller cities.
Material price: $90 - $135 per ton
Installed price: $140 - $215 per ton
South Central
A practical middle band for Texas, Oklahoma, and nearby markets.
Material price: $88 - $132 per ton
Installed price: $135 - $210 per ton
West
Higher land, labor, and logistics costs are common in this band.
Material price: $100 - $150 per ton
Installed price: $155 - $235 per ton

Price update, source, and estimate notes
The numbers below are meant for early budgeting, not as a promise of today's local plant rate. For a true asphalt price per ton near me, confirm the current number with local suppliers or paving contractors.
Updated for planning
Price bands on this page are maintained as planning estimates and were last reviewed in May 2026.
Source and estimate basis
Ranges are based on regional paving cost patterns, contractor quote comparisons, material-versus-installed differences, and typical haul and labor adjustments.
California and high-cost markets
California, coastal metro areas, and tight urban jobs often land toward the high side because labor, trucking, access, and environmental requirements can be more expensive.
Canada, UK, tonne, and tarmac terms
If you are outside the U.S., keep the same method but replace per ton with local per tonne pricing. UK visitors may see tarmac used as the everyday word for asphalt surfacing.
Why asphalt prices vary by state
State-level pricing changes because paving is local. Plant access, labor rates, weather windows, delivery distance, and site prep all affect the number before the asphalt even reaches the driveway.
Local plant pricing
The closest asphalt plant can change the number quickly. A search for asphalt price per ton near me should always be checked against current plant or contractor pricing.
Labor and season
Short paving seasons and busy local markets can raise bids because crews have less flexible scheduling.
Haul distance
Asphalt is time-sensitive. The farther the plant is from the project, the more delivery and timing can affect price.
Base and drainage
A state price band cannot see your driveway. Soft base, poor drainage, and removal work can move the final quote.
Access
Easy suburban access is different from a tight city driveway, long rural lane, or steep site with limited staging room.
Ask local contractors before you lock the budget
A state average can tell you if a quote looks reasonable. A contractor can tell you what your actual driveway, parking area, or private road needs.
For the cleanest comparison, ask every contractor to quote the same thickness, prep work, asphalt mix, and cleanup scope.
Questions to ask
- Is this quote for material only, delivered asphalt, or fully installed asphalt?
- What asphalt mix, thickness, and compacted depth are included?
- Does the price include base repair, grading, drainage, removal, trucking, cleanup, and permits?
- How far is the asphalt plant from the job, and can haul time affect the price?
- Is the quote valid this week only, or does it include a price hold?
How to use these bands
Use the state group as a starting point, then enter your actual square footage in the main calculator or tonnage page.
When you compare bids, keep thickness, prep scope, and cleanup assumptions the same.
If a quote is far outside the band, do not reject it immediately. Ask what is included. The difference may be removal, base repair, drainage, access, or a thicker asphalt section.
For California and other high-cost regions, start near the upper half of the regional band until a local contractor confirms the current price.
Best use
Treat these prices as a broad market check. A real local bid should still confirm base condition, drainage, access, and current material availability.
