| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Asphalt Driveway Paving & Installation | From $6/sq ft | Peoria driveways need a compacted base under hot mix to survive the 36-inch frost line. We build binder and surface courses over a compacted base rated for loess and till soils across the region. |
| Driveway Repair | From $450 | Spring in Peoria often uncovers frost heave and potholes after a hard freeze-thaw winter. We cut out the failed asphalt, rebuild the base where loess or till has shifted, and patch with hot mix rated for another deep-frost winter. |
| Pothole Repair & Asphalt Patching | From $450 | Peoria potholes open fast each spring when the 36-inch frost line releases its grip. We cut a clean edge, tack the joint, and pack hot mix so the patch holds through the next freeze-thaw cycle. |
| Asphalt Resurfacing & Overlay | From $4/sq ft | A Peoria driveway with a sound base but a worn top is often a good resurfacing candidate. We mill the worn surface, tack the old asphalt, and lay a new binder and surface course pitched for Peoria's bluff-line drainage. |
| Asphalt Milling & Removal | From $1,500 | Older Peoria driveways near the riverfront often need full removal down to the loess base. We mill and haul off the failed asphalt and base material so the new surface goes down on solid, compacted ground. |
| Driveway Replacement | From $7/sq ft | A Peoria driveway past patching usually needs full replacement down to the till or loess base. We remove the old surface, rebuild the aggregate base in compacted lifts, and pour new hot mix pitched to handle another deep-frost Peoria winter. |
| Parking Lot Paving & Construction | Free commercial estimate | Peoria's commercial lots on the flatter uplands need a deep compacted base to handle heavy truck traffic. We grade, compact, and pave lots near Tazewell and Woodford county lines to hold up through freeze-thaw winters and heavy summer storms. |
| Parking Lot Repair & Resurfacing | From $650 | Peoria parking lots crack from the base up after a hard freeze-thaw winter on the till plains. We cut out the failed section, rebuild the aggregate base, and patch it flush so it holds through the next Peoria winter. |
| Recycled Asphalt & Millings Driveways | From $3/sq ft | Recycled millings give Peoria homeowners a budget surface that still holds up on till and loess ground. We compact recycled asphalt millings over a graded base so the drive sheds water through Peoria's freeze-thaw winters. |
| Tar & Chip Driveways | From $5/sq ft | Tar and chip gives Peoria homeowners a textured surface that handles the region's freeze-thaw winters. We spray asphalt emulsion and embed stone chips over a compacted base rated for Peoria's till and loess soils. |
| Gravel Driveway Installation & Grading | From $950 | Gravel driveways still work well on Peoria's flatter till-plain lots toward Tazewell county. We grade and compact a stable base so the surface sheds water instead of holding it against Peoria's clay-rich ground. |
| Private Road & HOA Paving | From $15,000 | Private roads and HOA lots across Peoria's ranch-ring subdivisions need a deep base to survive frost heave. We build and pave shared roads and lots with a base compacted for Peoria, Tazewell and Woodford county winters. |
| Driveway Extensions, Widening & Aprons | From $1,800 | Older river-city lots in Peoria often need a widened apron where the drive meets the street. We tie new hot mix into the old surface with a clean butt joint and pitch it to handle bluff-line runoff. |
| Sports Court & Path Paving | From $8,500 | Peoria backyard courts need a base built to resist loess and till movement under freeze-thaw winters. We grade and compact a stable base, then lay hot mix or a sport surface so the court plays flat through the next thaw. |
What Affects the Price
- Project Size and Square Footage : Larger projects typically cost less per square foot due to equipment efficiency and material bulk. A 500 sq ft driveway will have different per-unit pricing than a 2,000 sq ft parking lot.
- Existing Surface Condition : Surfaces requiring extensive preparation, removal, or milling cost more than those ready for overlay. Heavily damaged asphalt may need full-depth patching or complete replacement rather than simple resurfacing.
- Material Selection : Standard asphalt paving costs more than recycled millings or tar and chip alternatives. Your choice of material directly impacts the final price while still providing quality results.
- Site Accessibility and Grading : Properties requiring significant grading work, drainage solutions, or difficult equipment access may incur additional costs. Steep slopes or poor drainage conditions require extra preparation.

Pricing FAQ
Why do asphalt paving prices vary so much between quotes?
Several factors influence pricing: the condition of your existing surface, the total square footage, site preparation requirements, material selection, and local labor costs. Two driveways that look similar may require different approaches based on underlying soil conditions, drainage needs, and base layer integrity. This is why a professional site visit is essential for accurate pricing.

Yes, Peoria Asphalt Paving provides free estimates for all residential and commercial projects. Contact us at (309) 271-2274 to schedule your on-site evaluation. We typically can arrange visits within a few business days and will give you a detailed quote before any work begins.

Are there more affordable alternatives to standard asphalt paving?
Yes. Recycled asphalt millings driveways start at $3 per square foot, tar and chip driveways at $5 per square foot, and gravel driveway installation at $950. These options provide functional, attractive surfaces at lower upfront costs, though they may require more frequent maintenance than standard asphalt.
What is included in your starting prices?
Starting prices reflect the base material and installation costs for each service. The final quote includes site preparation, material, labor, and basic cleanup. Additional costs may apply for debris removal, extensive grading, drainage work, or other site-specific requirements identified during your free estimate.
