What moves the price
- Base work. Digging out soft or root-filled soil and bringing in limerock is the biggest swing on most jobs.
- Thickness. More compacted asphalt costs more, and is worth it where trucks drive.
- Tear-out. Removing and hauling an old surface adds a line.
- Size. Larger areas cost less per square foot; small jobs carry a minimum.
- Access and phasing. Night work, tight sites and keeping a lot open add time.
- Drainage fixes. Regrading to stop standing water is extra, and usually the reason a driveway failed.
Why Orlando paving quotes differ
Two quotes for the same driveway can be far apart because they describe different jobs. Ask each contractor to write down the square footage, the compacted asphalt thickness, the base work and whether tear-out and haul-away are included. When those match, the prices usually do too.
Cost questions
How much does an asphalt driveway cost in Orlando?
About $7–$13 per square foot installed, as an estimate, so most residential driveways land around $4,200–$13,000.
Is an overlay cheaper than a new driveway?
Yes. An overlay over a sound base typically runs $3–$7 per square foot, as an estimate, against $7–$13 for new asphalt with base work.
What does sealcoating cost?
About $0.15–$0.30 per square foot as an estimate, plus crack filling at $1–$3 per linear foot where needed.
Why do paving quotes vary so much?
Thickness and base work. A low quote may assume 1 inch of asphalt on the old base; another may include 2 inches on new compacted limerock. Ask for both in writing.
