| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Asphalt Driveway Paving & Installation | From $6/sq ft | Savannah's coastal sand drains fast on top but softens when the water table rises under a summer storm. We build a compacted base and pitch the hot mix asphalt to shed runoff fast, a standard approach across Chatham County's flat lots. |
| Driveway Repair | From $450 | A Savannah driveway that cracks along the edges often means marsh mud or soft sand is moving underneath after a storm. We cut out the failed asphalt, rebuild the base, and patch with hot mix so the repair holds through the next tropical system. |
| Pothole Repair & Asphalt Patching | From $450 | Savannah's near-daily summer storms turn small cracks into potholes fast once water gets under the sand base. We cut out the damaged asphalt, compact fresh aggregate, and patch it flush so the fix holds through the next downpour. |
| Asphalt Resurfacing & Overlay | From $4/sq ft | A Savannah driveway with a sound base but a worn top is often a fair candidate for resurfacing. We mill the worn surface, tack it, and lay a new binder and surface course pitched to shed rain off the flat coastal lot. |
| Asphalt Milling & Removal | From $1,500 | Milling an old Savannah driveway down to sound base clears years of alligator cracking from coastal sand movement. We remove the failed layer, haul it off, and leave the base ready for new hot mix or a fresh overlay. |
| Driveway Replacement | From $7/sq ft | A Savannah driveway broken down past patching usually means the coastal sand base has failed for good. We tear out the old surface, rebuild the aggregate base for the shallow water table, and pour new hot mix pitched to shed rain fast. |
| Parking Lot Paving & Construction | Free commercial estimate | Savannah's port, hospitality and commercial lots take a beating from standing water on flat coastal ground. We grade, compact and pave with hot mix pitched to drain fast, built to hold up through hurricane season traffic. |
| Parking Lot Repair & Resurfacing | From $650 | A Savannah parking lot that cracks in patches usually points to sand shifting under a thin base. We cut out the failed section, rebuild the base, and patch it flush so the lot holds through the next tropical storm. |
| Recycled Asphalt & Millings Driveways | From $3/sq ft | Recycled millings pack down into a firm, affordable driveway surface on Savannah's sandy coastal lots. We grade the base, compact the millings in lifts, and pitch the surface to shed water off the flat ground. |
| Tar & Chip Driveways | From $5/sq ft | Tar and chip gives Savannah's older homes a textured driveway that still sheds coastal rain well. We lay the binder, embed the stone chip, and roll it in so the surface holds up through hurricane season storms. |
| Gravel Driveway Installation & Grading | From $950 | Gravel driveways need real grading on Savannah's flat ground or standing water collects after every storm. We shape the base, set a crown for drainage, and compact the gravel so it holds through the wet season. |
| Private Road & HOA Paving | From $15,000 | Private roads in Savannah's growing subdivisions need drainage built in from the start, not added later. We grade for runoff, build a compacted base, and pave with hot mix sized for daily traffic across the subdivision. |
| Driveway Extensions, Widening & Aprons | From $1,800 | Extending a driveway near Savannah's squares usually means tying new asphalt into a tight, narrow apron. We tie the new section flush with butt joints, matching the grade so runoff still clears the lot during Savannah's summer storms. |
| Sports Court & Path Paving | From $8,500 | A sports court on Savannah's flat coastal ground needs careful grading so water never pools on the surface. We build a compacted base, pave with hot mix, and pitch the court to clear rain fast during hurricane season. |
What Affects the Price
- Project Size and Square Footage : Larger projects typically have lower per-square-foot costs due to economies of scale. A 500 sq ft driveway will have different pricing than a 2,000 sq ft parking lot or private road.
- Existing Condition and Site Preparation : Projects requiring extensive milling, removal, grading, or repair of underlying damage cost more than straightforward installations on well-prepared sites.
- Material Selection and Quality : Premium asphalt, recycled millings, tar and chip, and gravel options each have different costs. Your choice of material significantly impacts the final price.
- Accessibility and Terrain : Difficult access, steep slopes, drainage requirements, and site obstacles may increase labor and equipment costs compared to straightforward, accessible projects.

What's the difference between asphalt resurfacing and full replacement?
