Asphalt Guide

Calculation Formula

Weight = Length × Width × Thickness × Density

To determine asphalt tonnage: Volume (L x W x Depth) x Density. Standard Hot Mix density is approx 145 lbs/cu ft.

Types

  • Hot Mix: Durable for large areas like driveways and roads.
  • Cold Patch: Used for filling potholes and cracks, usually sold in bags.

Paving Tips

Always order 5-10% more material than calculated. Ensure the sub-base (gravel) is compacted and level.

FAQ

How much does 1 ton cover?

One ton of asphalt covers approx 80 sq ft at 2 inches thick. Coverage decreases as thickness increases.

How thick should a driveway be?

1.5-2 inches for resurfacing. 3-4 inches for new driveways (compacted).

Hot Mix vs Cold Patch?

Hot Mix is durable for large areas. Cold Patch is for fixing potholes.

Pre-Paving Checklist

1

Base Preparation

Ensure gravel base is stable, graded, and compacted. No soft spots.

2

Drainage

Slope ground away from buildings (1/4 inch per foot) to prevent pooling.

3

Weather

Temp should be 50°F+ (10°C+) and rising. Avoid rain forecasts.

4

Tools

Rakes, shovels, plate compactor, wheelbarrows, and safety gear.
