| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Asphalt Driveway Paving & Installation | From $6/sq ft | New hot-mix driveways on a compacted sand subgrade and a limerock or crushed concrete base. The compacted surface is a true 2.5-3 inches. Thickness and tonnage are spelled out in your written estimate. Stamped and decorative border finishes available. We pitch every drive so afternoon storms run to the swale instead of ponding on flat sandy lots. |
| Driveway Repair | From $450 | Sunken aprons; crumbling edges; storm-washed edges and root-cracked sections repaired with full-depth patches. They key into sound asphalt instead of skin patches that fail by the next storm season. We tell you honestly when a repair buys you years and when the money belongs in resurfacing instead. |
| Pothole Repair & Asphalt Patching | From $450 | Potholes cut square then tack-coated and filled with compacted hot mix. We also run infrared patching that recycles the surface in place for seamless repairs with no waiting. Standing water after Southwest Florida downpours opens potholes fast; we book quick assessments so one hole doesn't become a failed section. |
| Asphalt Resurfacing & Overlay | From $4/sq ft | A new 1.5-2 inch compacted surface course over a structurally sound driveway. It is the middle path between patching and full replacement. We level and repair cracks and edge-mill at the garage and street so the overlay ties in flush. If the base is failing we say so before you spend. |
| Asphalt Milling & Removal | From $1,500 | Mill-and-pave; full-depth reclamation or complete tear-out with haul-away. This is the heavy-equipment side of the trade done right. Milling recovers grade at garages and curbs where an overlay would sit too high; reclaimed millings can rebuild your base or surface a ranch road instead of filling a landfill. |
| Driveway Replacement | From $7/sq ft | When alligator cracking runs section to section the base underneath is gone and no overlay will save it. We remove the old drive; recompact the sand subgrade and rebuild the limerock base then pave a binder-plus-surface structure that restarts the 20-to-30-year clock, honestly quoted against the repair option. |
| Parking Lot Paving & Construction | Free commercial estimate | New parking lots and expansions for retail; HOA; church; school and industrial properties. Thickness is engineered for the traffic the lot will actually carry, from customer parking to loaded trucks at the dock. We phase work around your operating hours and coordinate Sunshine 811 locates on every excavation. |
| Parking Lot Repair & Resurfacing | From $650 | Potholes; failed sections; storm inlet rebuilds and full overlays for commercial property managers. We work fast to get the liability off your lot. Annual maintenance programs bundle inspection with patching and drainage checks so ponding and small failures never become tenant complaints. Sweeping available with any maintenance visit. |
| Recycled Asphalt & Millings Driveways | From $3/sq ft | Compacted asphalt millings make a solid budget-smart surface for long drives; ranch roads and equipment pads. A step up from gravel, they bind tighter under Florida sun. We grade; spread and roll millings to shed water and tell you plainly where hot mix is worth the difference. |
| Tar & Chip Driveways | From $5/sq ft | Tar and chip is liquid asphalt with rolled stone chips for a textured low-glare country finish. It gives natural traction on wet days. A classic choice for long rural drives at less than hot-mix cost; we maintain and re-chip existing oil-and-stone surfaces too. |
| Gravel Driveway Installation & Grading | From $950 | New gravel drives built in proper lifts of limerock or crushed concrete over fabric. We also regrade; crown and fill potholes on lanes that washed out in summer storms. Good grading is also the first step of every future paving job, we build the base once and correctly over this sand. |
| Private Road & HOA Paving | From $15,000 | Private lanes; HOA and gated-community streets; townhome complexes and apartment drives paved and maintained. One contract covers it with board-ready documentation; phased scheduling around residents and reserve-study-friendly pricing. The big-linear-footage work most driveway outfits can't staff. |
| Driveway Extensions, Widening & Aprons | From $1,800 | Add a parking pad for the boat or the third car; widen a tight drive or rebuild a broken culvert apron over the swale. We also pave RV and boat pads and tie every extension into your existing asphalt with milled seamless joints. Small-footprint jobs with full-size compaction standards. |
| Sports Court & Path Paving | From $8,500 | Backyard basketball courts; tennis and pickleball bases; walking paths and golf cart trails paved dead-flat. Tight-tolerance surface courses are ready for acrylic color systems. We build the asphalt structure; your court stays true through Florida heat and storms. |
What Affects the Price
- Project Size and Square Footage : Larger projects typically cost less per square foot due to economies of scale. A 500 sq ft driveway will have a different per-unit cost than a 2,000 sq ft parking lot.
- Surface Condition and Preparation : Existing damage, poor drainage, soil stability, and the need for milling or base repair significantly impact labor and material costs. A well-prepared site costs less than one requiring extensive ground work.
- Material Selection : Standard asphalt paving differs in price from premium overlays, recycled millings, tar and chip, or gravel alternatives. Each material offers different durability and aesthetic benefits.
- Site Access and Complexity : Tight spaces, trees, utilities, slopes, and distance from the street affect equipment access and labor time. Complex sites require more careful planning and may cost more.

Pricing FAQ
Why do asphalt paving prices vary so much between quotes?
Pricing depends on site conditions, material quality, preparation work required, and local labor costs. Two driveways that look similar may have different soil conditions, drainage issues, or existing damage underneath. A professional inspection ensures your quote reflects the actual scope of work needed.

Is recycled asphalt or tar and chip cheaper than standard asphalt paving?
