Asphalt paving guide
Commercial asphalt runs $3.50 to $7.50 per square foot installed for new construction in 2026. Overlays on a sound base run $1.75 to $3.50 per square foot. Real numbers depend on thickness, base prep, drainage, and striping.
| Lot size | Low | High |
|---|---|---|
| Small lot (5,000 sq ft, ~15 spaces) | $17,500 | $45,000 |
| Medium lot (20,000 sq ft, ~60 spaces) | $60,000 | $160,000 |
| Large lot (50,000 sq ft, ~150 spaces) | $140,000 | $375,000 |
| Big box / industrial (100,000 sq ft) | $260,000 | $700,000 |
Ranges assume new construction. Overlays cost roughly half of these numbers on a sound base. Excludes specialty work like permeable pavement or heavy industrial sections.
