Residential asphalt driveways in Northeast Texas run $3–$7 per square foot installed. The wide range reflects real differences in spec — not contractor markup. A 2-inch surface over a thin base is at the low end and won't last. A 3-inch surface over 6 inches of compacted base is the upper end and lasts 20 years.
Every quote we write is itemized line by line: tear-out, hauling, grading, base material, asphalt tonnage, paving, rolling, edge work, cleanup. Compare apples-to-apples with any other contractor. No "miscellaneous" charges.

| Two car + walk to door | ~800 sq ft | $2,400–$5,600 |
| Long rural drive | 1,500+ sq ft | $4,500–$10,500+ |
Northeast Texas pavement faces three failure modes most other regions don't see in combination: expansive clay soil that moves seasonally (Hunt, Hopkins, Lamar counties), 100°F+ summers that break down asphalt binder, and multiple freeze-thaw cycles each winter that crack improperly compacted bases. Add 35–55 inches of annual rainfall depending on county, and a thin or rushed driveway here lasts 8 years instead of 20.
The fix is non-negotiable: 4–6 inches of compacted aggregate base, properly graded for drainage, under 2.5–3 inches of TxDOT-spec hot-mix asphalt. Heavy-use driveways serving farm equipment, RVs, or repeated trailer use get 4 inches of asphalt over 6–8 inches of base. We spec each driveway based on actual use, not a one-size-fits-all formula.
