For a typical 600 sq ft double driveway, homeowners should budget between $4,200 and $7,200 for asphalt, depending on the required thickness and base preparation.
Kitchener's clay soil and 40-50 annual freeze-thaw cycles require a deeper 6-8 inch granular base rather than the standard 4 inches, typically adding $300 to $600 to the total project cost.
Asphalt is priced at $7-$12 per sq ft, while plain concrete ranges from $12-$25 per sq ft. This makes a concrete driveway roughly 2 to 2.5 times more expensive than asphalt for the same area.
