💬What People Actually Paid
Community❓Common Questions
Yes, a development permit is required for any new driveway, widening of an existing one, or replacement with different materials. In 2026, the City of Edmonton charges a flat fee of $145 for residential driveway permits.
Asphalt is the more budget-friendly option, typically costing between $5 and $12 per sq ft. Standard concrete driveways in Edmonton range from $8 to $15 per sq ft, while decorative or stamped concrete can exceed $20 per sq ft.
Edmonton's extreme freeze-thaw cycles require a robust sub-base (typically 8-12 inches of compacted gravel), which can add $1,000 to $2,500 to the project cost compared to milder regions. Asphalt is often preferred for its flexibility in these conditions.
For a typical 600 sq ft two-car driveway, expect to pay between $4,200 and $7,200 for asphalt, or $5,100 to $9,000 for standard concrete, including all labor and site prep.
