Driveway Paving Cost in Regina (2026)

Regina's 'Gumbe' clay soil is highly expansive. To prevent shifting, contractors must excavate deeper (often 12-18 inches) and use a thicker crushed rock base, adding approximately $2.00 to $4.50 per sq ft compared to standard soil conditions.

A Development Permit is required for all new or expanded driveways. For 2026, the minimum application fee starts at approximately $285 CAD, with additional costs if a curb cut or sidewalk crossing modification is needed.

Asphalt is generally preferred for its flexibility during extreme freeze-thaw cycles, costing $8.50-$14.00 per sq ft. Concrete is more durable but prone to cracking in Regina's shifting soil, costing $12.00-$22.00 per sq ft.

For a typical 600 sq ft driveway, a full 'tear-out and replace' with asphalt averages $6,500 to $9,500 CAD, while concrete ranges from $9,000 to $14,000 CAD, including demolition and disposal fees.
