Common Questions

Asphalt is often preferred for its flexibility during Saskatoon's extreme freeze-thaw cycles, costing $6.50-$12.00/sq ft. Concrete is more durable but prone to cracking if not reinforced with rebar and a 6-inch base, typically costing $13.00-$18.00/sq ft.

Homeowners should budget between $1.50 and $3.00 per square foot for the professional removal and disposal of old asphalt or concrete, which adds roughly $750-$1,500 to a standard 500 sq ft project.

For a typical 2-car driveway (approx. 480-500 sq ft), an all-in asphalt project averages $4,800-$6,500, while a reinforced concrete project ranges from $6,200 to $9,000 in the 2026 market.

Yes, if you are widening the driveway or changing the curb cut, a City of Saskatoon permit is required. Basic repaving of an existing footprint may only require a simple inspection, with fees typically ranging from $150 to $300.
