How much does an asphalt, interlocking paver or concrete driveway cost in Quebec and Canada?
Base, surface and curbs: a price per square foot that distinguishes a redone driveway from a resurfaced one.
Your project
Is it new construction or a renovation?
In new construction, there is nothing to remove.
The price of a driveway is calculated per square foot, and it changes completely depending on whether the base is resurfaced or rebuilt. The calculator lets you trace your driveway on the satellite photo, then prices the surface, the base and the borders.
What changes the price of a driveway
- The area
- The area to pave, measured on the satellite photo of your lot.
- The surface
- Asphalt is the cheapest; concrete costs more; pavers are the most expensive, but can be repaired by section.
- The base
- A driveway rebuilt from the ground up (excavation, compacted crushed stone) costs far more than a driveway resurfaced over a sound base.
- What is there now
- Tearing out old asphalt or cracked concrete takes machinery and trips to the landfill.
- Borders and shape
- Concrete or paver borders, curves and slopes add finishing work.
What the estimate includes
- Excavation and compacted crushed stone, if the base is rebuilt
- Asphalt, concrete or pavers, with bedding sand and joints
- The chosen borders
- Tear-out of the old surface and its disposal
- Machinery, labour and a contractor’s normal margin
Frequently asked questions
How much does an asphalt, interlocking paver or concrete driveway cost in Quebec and Canada?
Redoing a 40 × 12 ft asphalt driveway costs $6,100 to $7,800 in Quebec in 2026: old asphalt removed, gravel base rebuilt, no curb. Pavers cost significantly more per square foot. Amount before taxes, calculated line by line by qcalculatrice.com at Quebec prices (Québec — grille 2026 v2.2), range verified on September 18, 2026. This is an estimate, not a quote: the calculator redoes it for your home.
What is the best season for paving?
May to October, when the ground has thawed and the temperature is above 10 °C. Asphalt is laid hot and needs dry weather.
Asphalt or pavers?
Asphalt costs less and goes down fast, but lasts 15 to 20 years. Pavers cost more, last longer and can be repaired without redoing everything.
Does the driveway base need to be rebuilt?
If the current driveway is sinking, cracking in a network or holding water, yes. A sound, well-drained base can take a new layer.
Is this a firm price?
No. It is an estimate calculated for your driveway, made to set a budget and compare quotes. Only a paver who has seen the lot can sign a price.
