💡 Pro Tips:

For residential driveways, a typical compacted asphalt thickness is 2-3 inches.
For parking lots or areas with heavier traffic, 3-5 inches is often recommended.
Always order slightly more material (5-10% extra) to account for compaction, waste, and uneven subgrades.
Ensure proper base preparation and compaction for a long-lasting pavement.
