how much does it cost to blacktop a driveway
An asphalt driveway typically costs about $2-$5 a square foot, $1,200 -$3,000 for a 12'x50' single-car driveway; or $25,000-$50,000 for up to a quarter mile. Slopes, curves, odd shapes and other complications add to the total cost, and smaller jobs aren't necessarily cheaper because it costs the contractor a minimum amount to haul the asphalt heater, steamroller and other equipment to the site.
