Frequently Asked Questions

The cost to pave a residential asphalt driveway in Moncton typically ranges from $4 to $8 per square foot, depending on excavation needs, base condition, drainage, and driveway size.   If the existing base is solid, resurfacing is less expensive. However, many older Moncton properties require full removal and new gravel base due to frost heave and drainage issues.   The best way to determine pricing is with an on-site assessment to evaluate slope, water runoff, and soil conditions.

In Moncton’s climate, a residential asphalt driveway should typically include: • 6–8 inches of crush stone compacted gravel base • 2.5–3 inches of hot mix asphalt   Proper base preparation is more important than surface thickness. Freeze-thaw cycles in New Brunswick can cause cracking and sinking if the base is not properly compacted.

A properly installed asphalt driveway in Moncton can last 18–25 years with routine maintenance such as crack sealing and sealcoating.   Longevity depends heavily on: • Drainage • Snow removal practices • Heavy vehicle traffic • Base preparation quality
