The Purpose of an Asphalt Driveway Cost Calculator
A reliable asphalt calculator for your paving project is critical for getting exact material numbers. Paving is expensive, and ordering a few too many tons can blow out your budget. Conversely, under-ordering creates cold-joints which destroy the longevity of your newly paved asphalt driveway.
How to calculate Asphalt Tonnage
By finding the exact square footage and desired asphalt calculation depth, our tool converts your measurements into cubic yards. With a localized density standard (typically 145 lbs/cf), it correctly derives the required asphalt tonnage calculator value so you can call the plant with confidence.
