Asphalt & Paving Estimating Services
Precise area calculations, tonnage conversions, and material estimating for all paving projects.
Service Overview
Asphalt paving is a high-volume trade where slight miscalculations in area or material depth can result in massive tonnage shortages and lost profits. Our paving estimating services provide civil and paving contractors with exact square yardage and precise tonnage calculations. We analyze site plans to calculate required base rock, binder courses, and surface asphalt for parking lots, roadways, and pathways. By factoring in milling, tack coats, and striping, we ensure your paving bids are highly accurate and completely reliable.
What We Estimate
- Asphalt paving (surface and binder/base courses)
- Aggregate base rock (crushed stone, gravel)
- Asphalt milling and resurfacing
- Sealcoating, slurry seals, and crack filling
- Pavement striping and ADA markings
- Concrete curbs, gutters, and sidewalks
- Speed bumps, wheel stops, and bollards
- Geotextile paving fabrics
- Tack coats and prime coats
- Subgrade preparation and compaction

Why Choose Our Service
Exact Tonnage Conversions
We use standard industry conversion factors (e.g., 110 lbs per sq yd per inch of depth) to ensure your asphalt orders are perfect.
Separate Duty Zones
We accurately separate light-duty parking areas from heavy-duty drive lanes that require thicker asphalt and base.
Accurate Milling Volumes
For repaving projects, we calculate the exact volume of asphalt millings to be removed and hauled away.
Include the Details
We don't miss the small details like tack coat gallons, ADA signage, and wheel stops that add up quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you calculate asphalt tonnage?
We find the total area in square yards, multiply by the specified thickness in inches, and multiply by a compaction yield factor (typically 110 to 115 lbs per SY per inch) to get total tons.
Do you estimate concrete curbs and flatwork?
Yes, we routinely combine asphalt paving with concrete curbs, gutters, valley gutters, and sidewalks for a complete paving package.
Can you estimate sealcoating and striping?
Absolutely. We calculate the square footage for sealcoat/slurry application and count every parking stall line and stencil for the striping contractor.
Do you estimate from satellite imagery for existing lots?
Yes, for repaving or sealcoating existing lots without CAD plans, we use high-resolution aerial measurement tools to provide accurate takeoffs.
