Frequently asked
Paving in Nanaimo — FAQ
- How much does an asphalt driveway cost in Nanaimo?
- New hot-mix asphalt runs $5.00 to $9.50 a square foot in Nanaimo. On a two-car driveway of 400 to 600 square feet that works out to $2,000 to $5,700. Where your driveway lands in that range depends on the size, the access for our trucks, and how much prep and base work the ground needs.
- Do you need a permit for a driveway in Nanaimo?
- Inside the City of Nanaimo, yes. The permit costs $25, plus bonding, and the bonding amount is determined at time of application. The City's Development Engineering handles it. We put the paperwork together with you before we start, and the permits guide carries the City's own wording.
- Can you resurface a driveway instead of replacing it?
- Yes, as long as the asphalt underneath is still sound. We lay a new surface course straight over the old one, which runs $3.50 to $6.00 a square foot — $1,400 to $3,600 on a 400 to 600 square foot driveway. We look at the existing surface with you and tell you whether it will carry an overlay.
- How much does it cost to fix a pothole or a broken edge?
- Patch and repair work runs $300 to $1,200, and a minimum call-out applies. Potholes, crumbling edges and settled sections all fall in that range. Send us a photo with your quote request and we can usually tell you which end of it you are looking at.
- What areas does Nanaimo Paving serve?
- We serve the Regional District of Nanaimo, including Nanaimo, North Nanaimo, Lantzville, Cedar, Nanoose Bay, Departure Bay, Cassidy, and Gabriola Island.
