Asphalt is a petroleum product. Like many other things, costs
escalate daily. If you can get someone for $9/yard (1$/ SF) jump
on it. Asphalt work is typically priced by the square yard, not
feet.

My original message:
I have an asphalt driveway. I am considering an asphalt
overlay/resurfacing of typical thickness. What would be an
approximate
cost per sq ft for this, assuming a sound base and relatively
problem-free installation? Just the ballpark is all I am after.
I do not want to remove/replace, nor do I want concrete.

Thanks for all replies.

I would like to try my question again, with info I should have
included
the first time.

I don't want to coat my present driveway. I want another layer
of
asphalt laid on top of the present one. Perhaps I should not
have said
"resurfacing" which I now see could mean brushing/spraying on a
new
surface topcoating.

The contractor who built my neighborhood decades ago installed
this
driveway for his own house, so I assume it was done correctly.
It is in
pretty good condition considering its age.

It is a long driveway. My rough estimate is 13,000 square feet.
This
sounds to me like a sufficiently large project that somebody
ought to
be interested in doing it.

Stratford1 was quoted "$1.25/sq ft for recap of 1400 sq ft
of existing driveway" a year ago. Would, say, $1.50/sq ft be a
very
rough approximation of what the cost might be today? About
$20,000
(gulp) for the driveway?

Thanks to all.
