💬What People Actually Paid
Community❓Common Questions
In 2026, Calgary homeowners typically pay an average of $6,000 for a standard two-car driveway. Most projects range from $3,000 for basic asphalt to over $12,000 for larger or decorative concrete driveways.
Asphalt is more cost-effective upfront, typically costing between $7 and $13 per square foot. Concrete is more expensive, ranging from $10 to $18 per square foot, but generally lasts longer and requires less frequent maintenance.
Standard resurfacing usually does not require a permit. However, if you are expanding the driveway, altering drainage, or doing a new installation that affects curb appeal, you may need a permit from the City of Calgary.
Despite Calgary's harsh freeze-thaw cycles, a properly installed asphalt driveway can last 15 to 25 years if it is maintained and sealcoated every 3 to 5 years.
