Common Questions

For a standard 600 sq. ft. double driveway, Edmonton homeowners can expect to pay between $4,350 and $8,100 CAD, depending on the thickness of the asphalt and the condition of the sub-base.

Yes, a Development Permit is required if you are increasing the size of the driveway or changing the curb cut. In 2026, these permits typically cost approximately $112 CAD.

Due to extreme freeze-thaw cycles, Edmonton contractors recommend a deeper gravel sub-base (6-12 inches) compared to warmer regions. This adds roughly $1.50 to $2.50 per sq. ft. to the initial site preparation costs.

Asphalt remains the more affordable option at $7.25–$13.50 per sq. ft., whereas standard concrete driveways in Edmonton currently range from $10.00 to $18.00 per sq. ft. for basic finishes.
