📊 Project Type Comparison

Recommended thickness for different project types

🏠 Driveway

Thickness: 2–3 inches

Light residential traffic, occasional heavy vehicles

🅿️ Parking Lot

Thickness: 3–4 inches

Commercial traffic, regular heavy vehicles

🛣️ Highway

Thickness: 6+ inches

Heavy traffic, continuous loading

📋 Thickness Guidelines

🏠 Residential Driveways

  • Standard: 2-3 inches
  • Heavy use: 3-4 inches
  • With heavy vehicles: 4+ inches

🏢 Commercial Areas

  • Parking lots: 3-4 inches
  • Loading areas: 4-6 inches
  • Industrial areas: 6+ inches

🛣️ Roads & Highways

  • Local roads: 4-6 inches
  • Highways: 6-8 inches
  • Heavy haul roads: 8+ inches

⚖️ Density Information

Standard Densities

  • Hot Mix Asphalt: 110 lbs/(SY·IN) or 2.0 tons/yd³
  • Warm Mix Asphalt: 105 lbs/(SY·IN) or 1.9 tons/yd³
  • Recycled Asphalt: 102 lbs/(SY·IN) or 1.85 tons/yd³
  • Superpave Mix: 115 lbs/(SY·IN) or 2.1 tons/yd³

📏 Unit Conversions

  • 1 ton = 0.907 tonnes
  • 1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet
  • 1 square yard = 9 square feet
  • 1 meter = 3.28084 feet
  • 1 inch = 2.54 cm

🔧 Compaction Factor

Typically 5-15% additional material is needed to account for compaction during paving. Our calculator uses 10% by default, which is standard for most projects.
