I'm not looking for an exact cost, just a guess, to pave 50' wide by 2400' long.

I'll do the prep for the area, just want it paved.
If anyone has a guess, please post.

 

US numbers, your costs will be different...

Are you going to do a compacted gravel/fines base?

approximately 110 to 120 ton at 4 inches compacted thickness.
for all top, figure around $11,000 for asphalt alone at east coast USA prices of 85 to 90 dollars American per ton for top coat. base coat is less around $75 per ton. i would recommend 3 inches of base, and 2 or 3 inches top.
that is what we do here for parking lots. roads are thicker, 6 inches base and 3 of top. driveways that only see cars get 3 inches top. if heavy pickups are parked on or use the driveway we go 3 base and 3 top.
and remember, the prep work is the most important part. if it is not compacted properly, the asphalt will fall apart very quick.

 

50 feet x 2400 feet = 120,000 square feet.

$321,000 to $600,00 Canadian based on the numbers in the Canadian link above.

They do not mention site prep but I'd bet they'd tell you.....

 

that price is what contractors charge to put it down.
my price is to buy the asphalt.

 

I think OP needs someone to put it down, at least that's the way I read it.

But cost breakdowns and the cost of materials is always good to have when negotiating a job. Those per foot numbers are a looong way apart on this size job so the more info the better for the OP.

 

Then almost double that price for a decent contractor to put it down, according to distance hauled, which depends if a base is used or not. If this is a driveway used a lot, and you plan to stay ther 20 years or more, put a base down.

 

I had my driveway done 3 years ago, 140,000 Sq. Ft. $20,000. I already had a good gravel base. Probably makes a big difference where you are located as well.

 

like i said, i only quoted price for materials. for me to do that drive, it would be closer to $30,000.
without stone or prep work.

 

It is all good information.

Yes i need it laid, rolled etc as well.

I can do the runway bed prep, but don't have paving equipment or asphalt plant.
