For a typical 600 sq. ft. double driveway, asphalt costs between $4,200 and $7,500, while interlocking pavers range from $18,000 to $33,000 depending on the stone quality and design complexity.
Yes, any widening or alteration of the driveway entrance requires a permit from the City of Toronto. The residential entrance permit fee is approximately $178.54, plus potential inspection fees and security deposits.
Interlocking pavers are significantly more expensive, averaging $30 to $55 per sq. ft. installed, compared to asphalt which averages $4.50 to $10 per sq. ft. However, pavers can last 30+ years versus 15-20 for asphalt.
Due to severe freeze-thaw cycles, Toronto contractors recommend a deeper granular base of 8 to 12 inches for driveways. This preparation work adds roughly $2.00 to $4.00 per sq. ft. to the total project cost compared to standard installations.
