Quote range
Project estimate
Asphalt installed
$2,172 - $3,413

A lower-cost alternative for rough planning.
Final pricing depends on access, prep work, base condition, grading, haul distance, and local crew rates.
Asphalt
Usually the best balance of upfront cost and finished look.
Concrete
Often higher upfront, but a common choice for a longer-term finish.
Gravel
The lowest-cost option when you need a simple surface now.
Common questions
What does this page cover?
It compares common driveway material options so you can see a rough budget band.
Why keep gravel in the mix?
Gravel gives you a lower-cost option when you are still deciding on the final surface.
Is the estimate final?
