Asphalt vs. Concrete Driveway Cost

A fair comparison includes the full project: preparation, drainage, installation, maintenance, climate, access, and expected service life.

Start with the same project scope

Compare the same area, thickness, subgrade work, removal requirements, delivery assumptions, and finish expectations. A material price alone will not answer the installed-cost question.

Ask for local quotes

Contractor pricing and site conditions can outweigh broad material averages. Ask for a written quote that separates preparation, material, labor, and optional work.
