How much does a new driveway cost?
Driveways are priced per square foot. The surface you pick and whether the old driveway gets torn out make the biggest difference. Installed prices for a full replacement:
- Asphalt
- $6–$8 per ft²
- Concrete
- $11–$15 per ft²
- Stamped concrete
- $16–$22 per ft²
- Interlock pavers
- $19–$26 per ft²
Tearing out and repaving a 600 ft² double driveway in asphalt usually comes to $3,600 to $4,900. If the base underneath is sound, resurfacing it without a tear-out is cheaper, at roughly $2,900 to $3,900 for the same driveway.
Grading, drainage and the condition of the old base can move the price. Your contractor confirms the final quote once they’ve seen the driveway.
