| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Asphalt Driveway Paving & Installation | From $6/sq ft | Lincoln driveways sit on wind-laid loess over glacial till, ground that shifts through freeze-thaw winters. We build a compacted aggregate base and pour hot mix pitched to shed water before the next hard freeze. |
| Driveway Repair | From $450 | A Lincoln driveway that cracks along the edges is often loess and clay moving under a thin base. We cut out the failed asphalt, rebuild the base where it has softened, and patch with hot mix rated for the next freeze-thaw winter. |
| Pothole Repair & Asphalt Patching | From $450 | Lincoln potholes open every spring when a hard freeze-thaw winter breaks up an unprepared base. We square the edges, tack the surface, and pack hot mix in lifts so the patch holds through the next Lancaster County winter. |
| Asphalt Resurfacing & Overlay | From $4/sq ft | A Lincoln driveway with a sound base but a worn top is often a good candidate for resurfacing. We mill the worn surface, tack the old asphalt, and lay a new binder and surface course pitched for Lincoln's rolling prairie ground. |
| Asphalt Milling & Removal | From $1,500 | Removing old asphalt down to the base is the first step before Lincoln's loess ground can carry a new driveway. We mill and haul off the old surface, check the aggregate base, and grade it for compaction before new hot mix goes down. |
| Driveway Replacement | From $7/sq ft | A Lincoln driveway past patching gets torn out down to the loess and glacial till underneath. We rebuild the aggregate base, compact it in lifts, and pour new hot mix pitched to handle Lincoln's freeze-thaw winters. |
| Parking Lot Paving & Construction | Free commercial estimate | Commercial lots across Lincoln's growing south and east side need a base built for loess and clay. We grade and compact a deep aggregate base, then pave hot mix in binder and surface courses sized for delivery trucks and daily traffic. |
| Parking Lot Repair & Resurfacing | From $650 | A Lincoln parking lot that cracks after a hard winter is usually failing from the base up. We cut out the failed section, rebuild the aggregate base, and patch it flush so it holds through the next Lancaster County freeze-thaw. |
| Recycled Asphalt & Millings Driveways | From $3/sq ft | Recycled millings make a budget-friendly surface for long driveways in Lincoln's subdivision belt. We compact a base that handles Lincoln's clay and loess, then lay and pack recycled millings for a firm, low-cost surface. |
| Tar & Chip Driveways | From $5/sq ft | Tar and chip gives Lincoln homeowners a textured driveway surface without a full asphalt build. We spray a hot asphalt binder, embed stone chips, and roll it firm for a surface that handles Nebraska hail and sun. |
| Gravel Driveway Installation & Grading | From $950 | Gravel driveways still work well on Lincoln's rural edges once the loess ground is graded and compacted right. We grade the base, add crushed rock in layers, and compact each pass so it sheds water instead of holding it. |
| Private Road & HOA Paving | From $15,000 | HOA roads in Lincoln's fast-growing subdivision belt need a base built for loess, clay and heavy traffic. We build a deep compacted base, pave in binder and surface courses, and pitch every run so it drains through Nebraska winters. |
| Driveway Extensions, Widening & Aprons | From $1,800 | A driveway apron in Lincoln takes the hardest hit from street runoff and winter plow damage. We widen or extend the slab, tie new hot mix into the old edge, and pitch it so water clears the street quickly. |
| Sports Court & Path Paving | From $8,500 | A backyard court in Lincoln needs a base built for loess and clay that shifts through freeze-thaw winters. We grade and compact a stable base, then finish with hot mix so the court plays flat through hot summers and cold winters. |
What Affects the Price
- Project Size and Square Footage : Larger projects typically cost less per square foot due to equipment efficiency and material bulk pricing. A 500 sq ft driveway will have different unit costs than a 2,000 sq ft parking lot.
- Surface Condition and Preparation : Existing pavement that requires removal, milling, or extensive base repair adds labor and disposal costs. A clean, well-prepared site costs less than one needing significant grading or debris removal.
- Material Selection : Standard asphalt, recycled millings, tar and chip, and gravel each have different price points. Premium materials and specialized finishes will affect your final cost.
- Site Accessibility and Complexity : Steep slopes, tight spaces, or difficult access may require specialized equipment or additional labor, increasing project costs compared to straightforward, level installations.

Pricing FAQ
Why do asphalt paving prices vary so much between contractors?
Quality, experience, equipment, and material sourcing differ significantly. Lincoln Asphalt Paving uses premium materials and proven methods to ensure durability. Lower quotes may reflect corner-cutting on base preparation, compaction, or material grade, which leads to premature failure and costly repairs.

We accept cash, checks, and all major credit cards. For larger projects, we're happy to discuss payment plans. Contact us at (402) 858-2768 to discuss financing options that work for your budget.
Is there a minimum charge for small repair jobs like pothole patching?
Yes, most repair projects have a service minimum of $450. This covers the cost of equipment mobilization, labor setup, and materials. Larger repairs or multiple patches may be combined into one service call to maximize value.
How long does an estimate remain valid?
