Serving the Regional District of Nanaimo
Asphalt Paving in Cedar
Nanaimo Paving paves gravel drives, lays new asphalt and patches broken surfaces across Cedar, an unincorporated community in Electoral Area A of the Regional District of Nanaimo. A gravel-to-asphalt conversion runs $6.50 to $12.00 a square foot, and we confirm which authority your driveway access falls under before we start.
On a drive of 400 to 600 square feet that comes to $2,600 to $7,200, and how much base has to go in underneath is what moves it.
Gravel drives and long approaches
Most of the work out here starts as gravel. We dig it out, build and compact a base that will carry a vehicle, and pave on top of that. On a lot that already has asphalt but has broken up at the edges, patching is usually the cheaper answer, and where the whole surface has gone we lay a new one.
Which authority covers your driveway access?
It depends on the road your driveway meets and who maintains it. Access off a provincial highway is the Province's to permit. The Province also publishes an exemption for a single family dwelling, and it attaches conditions to that exemption. They are quoted in full in the permits guide, and we confirm which authority a driveway access falls under before we start.
What we look at when we come out
We measure the area first, because that sets most of the price. Then we look at the ground, since prep and base work runs $1.50 to $3.50 a square foot and a soft or never-based approach needs more of it. We check how the water runs off, and whether our trucks can get in and turn. All of that goes into one written price.
