| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Asphalt Driveway Paving & Installation | From $6/sq ft | New hot-mix driveways built on compacted Type 5 base rock with a true 2.5-3 inch compacted surface. Thickness and tonnage are spelled out in your written estimate. Stamped and decorative border finishes available. We pitch every drive a quarter inch per foot so Ozarks downpours run off instead of soaking the base. |
| Driveway Repair | From $450 | Sunken aprons; crumbling edges; washed-out shoulders and sections cracked over soft red clay, all repaired with full-depth patches that key into sound asphalt instead of skin patches that peel by spring. We tell you honestly when a repair buys you years and when the money belongs in resurfacing instead. |
| Pothole Repair & Asphalt Patching | From $450 | Potholes cut square then tack-coated and filled with compacted hot mix. We also run infrared patching that recycles the surface in place for seamless repairs with no waiting. Ozarks freeze-thaw and ice-storm winters open potholes fast; we book quick assessments so one hole doesn't become a failed section. |
| Asphalt Resurfacing & Overlay | From $4/sq ft | A new 1.5-2 inch compacted surface course over a structurally sound driveway, the middle path between patching and full replacement. We level and repair cracks and edge-mill at the garage and street so the overlay ties in flush. If the base is failing we say so before you spend. |
| Asphalt Milling & Removal | From $1,500 | Mill-and-pave; full-depth reclamation or complete tear-out with haul-away. This is the heavy-equipment side of the trade done right. Milling recovers grade at garages and curbs where an overlay would sit too high; reclaimed millings can rebuild your base or surface a farm lane instead of filling a landfill. |
| Driveway Replacement | From $7/sq ft | When alligator cracking runs section to section the base underneath is gone and no overlay will save it. We remove the old drive; rebuild the base rock over Ozarks clay and pave a binder-plus-surface structure that restarts the 20-to-30-year clock, honestly quoted against the repair option. |
| Parking Lot Paving & Construction | Free commercial estimate | New parking lots and expansions for retail; HOA; church; school and industrial properties. Thickness is engineered for the traffic the lot will actually carry, from customer parking to loaded trucks at the dock. We phase work around your operating hours and coordinate Missouri One Call locates on every excavation. |
| Parking Lot Repair & Resurfacing | From $650 | Potholes; failed sections; catch basin rebuilds and full overlays for commercial property managers. We work fast to get the liability off your lot. Annual maintenance programs bundle inspection with patching and drainage checks so small failures never become tenant complaints. Sweeping available with any maintenance visit. |
| Recycled Asphalt & Millings Driveways | From $3/sq ft | Compacted asphalt millings make a solid budget-smart surface for long drives; farm lanes and equipment pads, a step up from gravel that binds tighter every hot Missouri summer. We grade; spread and roll millings to shed water and tell you plainly where hot mix is worth the difference. |
| Tar & Chip Driveways | From $5/sq ft | Tar and chip, the same chip seal Missouri counties use on back roads, bonds liquid asphalt with rolled stone chips for a textured low-glare finish with real traction on icy hills. A classic choice for long rural drives at less than hot-mix cost; we maintain and re-chip existing oil-and-stone surfaces too. |
| Gravel Driveway Installation & Grading | From $950 | New gravel drives built in proper lifts of Type 5 base rock over fabric. We also regrade; crown and fill potholes on lanes that wash out in spring downpours. Good grading is also the first step of every future paving job, we build the base once and correctly over this clay and chert. |
| Private Road & HOA Paving | From $15,000 | Private lanes; HOA streets; lake-community roads; townhome complexes and apartment drives paved and overlaid and maintained. One contract covers it with board-ready documentation; phased scheduling around residents and reserve-study-friendly pricing. The big-linear-footage work most driveway outfits can't staff. |
| Driveway Extensions, Widening & Aprons | From $1,800 | Add a parking pad for the boat or the third car; widen a tight drive or rebuild a broken garage apron. We also pave RV and boat pads and tie every extension into your existing asphalt with milled seamless joints. Small-footprint jobs with full-size compaction standards. |
| Sports Court & Path Paving | From $8,500 | Backyard basketball courts; tennis and pickleball bases; walking paths and golf cart trails paved dead-flat with tight-tolerance surface courses ready for acrylic color systems. We build the asphalt structure; your court stays true through Ozarks heat and freeze-thaw. |
What Affects the Price
- Project Size and Square Footage : Larger projects typically cost less per square foot due to equipment setup and labor efficiency. A 500 sq ft driveway will have a different per-unit cost than a 2,000 sq ft parking lot.
- Current Surface Condition : Existing pavement that requires removal, milling, or extensive prep work increases costs. A fresh overlay on stable asphalt costs less than full-depth replacement with base preparation.
- Material Selection : Premium asphalt, recycled millings, tar and chip, or gravel options each have different price points. Your choice of material directly impacts the final cost and longevity of your surface.
- Site Access and Grading : Difficult terrain, drainage requirements, or grading work adds to the project cost. Accessible, well-prepared sites are faster and more economical to complete.

Pricing FAQ
Why do asphalt paving prices vary so much between projects?
Costs depend on multiple factors: project size, existing surface condition, material type, site preparation needs, and local labor rates. A simple pothole repair is very different from a full driveway replacement, which is why we always provide custom quotes based on your specific situation.
Do you offer free estimates?
Yes. We provide free on-site estimates for all residential and commercial projects, including driveways, parking lots, and road work. Call us at (417) 363-3550 to schedule your consultation with no obligation.
What payment options does Springfield Asphalt Paving accept?
We accept cash, check, and major credit cards. For larger commercial projects, we're happy to discuss payment arrangements. Contact us at (417) 363-3550 to discuss your specific project and payment preferences.
Is there a minimum cost for asphalt repair work?
Most repair services have a service minimum (for example, pothole repair starts at $450) to cover equipment, labor, and materials. Larger projects are priced per square foot or by scope. We'll explain your costs clearly during the estimate.
How long does an asphalt project typically take?
Timeline depends on project size and weather. Small repairs may take a day, while full driveway paving or parking lot work takes several days. We'll provide a realistic schedule during your estimate so you can plan accordingly.
