Ordering asphalt by the ton means you need to know the volume and density first. Enter the area you're paving, the compacted thickness, and get tons required plus a material cost estimate.
Tons = (area x thickness x density) / 2,000, plus a waste factor for jobsite loss and compaction.
Multiply tons by your local per-ton price for a quick material budget before labor.
Driveways typically run 2-3 inches; parking lots and roads go 3-4 inches plus base layers.
