| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Asphalt Driveway Paving & Installation | From $6/sq ft | New hot-mix driveways built on a compacted 304 limestone base with a true 2.5-3 inch compacted surface. Thickness and tonnage are spelled out in your written estimate. Stamped and decorative border finishes available. We pitch every drive a quarter inch per foot so meltwater never ponds on Stark County clay. |
| Driveway Repair | From $450 | Full-depth patches key into sound asphalt instead of skin patches that peel by spring. We repair sunken aprons, crumbling edges, snowplow gouges, and sections heaved over wet glacial clay. 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. Northeast Ohio pothole season is real; we book fast late-winter 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 goes over your structurally sound driveway. It's 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 farm lane 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; rebuild the 304 base over Stark County clay and 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 OHIO811 locates on every excavation. |
| Parking Lot Repair & Resurfacing | From $650 | Potholes; failed sections; catch basin 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 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, farm lanes, and parking pads. They bind tighter every summer, a real step up from gravel on rural Stark County properties. 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 bonds liquid asphalt with rolled stone chips for a textured, low-glare country finish. It gives natural traction in snow and suits long rural drives around Canton at less than hot-mix cost. We also maintain and re-chip existing oil-and-stone surfaces. |
| Gravel Driveway Installation & Grading | From $950 | New gravel drives built in proper lifts of 304 crushed limestone over fabric. We also regrade; crown and fill potholes on lanes that washed out in spring rain. Good grading is also the first step of every future paving job, we build the base once and correctly over this clay. |
| Private Road & HOA Paving | From $15,000 | Private lanes; HOA streets; townhome complexes and apartment drives paved and overlaid 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 third car; widen a tight side drive or rebuild a broken garage apron. We also pave RV 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 | We pave backyard basketball courts, tennis and pickleball bases, walking paths, and golf cart trails dead-flat. Tight-tolerance surface courses are ready for acrylic color systems, and we build the asphalt structure so your court stays true through Northeast Ohio's freeze-thaw winters. |
What Affects the Price
- Project Size and Square Footage : Larger driveways and parking lots typically cost less per square foot due to economies of scale. Smaller projects have higher per-unit costs because setup and equipment expenses are spread across fewer square feet.
- Current Surface Condition : Existing asphalt that requires removal, milling, or extensive prep work increases labor and disposal costs. A well-prepared base ensures better results and affects the final price.
- Material Selection : Premium asphalt, recycled millings, tar and chip, or gravel options each have different costs. Your choice of material directly impacts the total project price.
- Site Accessibility and Grading : Difficult access, poor drainage, or uneven terrain may require additional grading, fill, or site preparation. These factors add to the overall project cost but ensure a long-lasting installation.

Pricing FAQ
Why does asphalt paving cost more than recycled millings or tar and chip?
New asphalt offers superior durability, longevity, and performance in harsh weather. Recycled millings and tar and chip are budget-friendly alternatives that work well for light-traffic driveways and are easier to maintain with regular raking and recoating.
Do you offer free estimates for parking lots and commercial projects?
Yes. Canton Asphalt Paving provides free commercial estimates for parking lot paving, construction, and resurfacing. Call (330) 919-5837 to schedule a site visit with our team.
What is included in your pricing, and are there hidden costs?
Our estimates include all labor, materials, site prep, and cleanup. We discuss any additional work (such as milling or grading) upfront so you understand the complete scope before we start. No hidden fees or surprise charges.
Do you offer payment plans or financing for large projects?
Canton Asphalt Paving works with homeowners and commercial clients on project budgets. Contact us at (330) 919-5837 to discuss your specific needs and available options.
How long does an asphalt driveway last, and is it worth the investment?
A properly installed asphalt driveway typically lasts 15 to 20 years with regular maintenance (seal coating every 2 to 3 years). The upfront cost is quickly offset by durability, curb appeal, and protection for your property.
