What Are the Average Paving Costs for a Driveway?

Types

• The type of pavement for your driveway is a large factor in terms of cost. On average as of 2010, you'll spend $1 to $3 per square foot for macadam (gravel with liquid asphalt), $1 to $5 per square foot for traditional asphalt and $3 to $10 per square foot for concrete, according to Cost Helper.

Features

• If you're interested in adding customizations to your driveway such as brick or cobblestone patterns, you will end up spending around $3 per each stone or brick. To adorn your entire driveway in cobblestone, you will likely spend thousands of dollars, as of 2010.

Size

• The square footage of your driveway contributes greatly to the cost of paving. The longer and wider your driveway is, the more you'll spend on making a gravel base and pouring and paving the driveway.
