Meridian Asphalt Paving Guide: Costs, Permits, and Timing

Meridian has hot summers, cold winters with frequent freezes and snow, and a dry climate, and public road work in Meridian is permitted through the Ada County Highway District. This guide covers published local price ranges, who permits driveway work at the street in Meridian, and how to time paving around the local weather. The contractor list above shows paving pros who serve Meridian on Main Street.

What asphalt work costs in Meridian

We only list numbers from published sources that give a Meridian figure. All figures in this table come from HomeBlue's Meridian cost guides, published in 2022, so expect current quotes to differ. Treat them as a starting point, not a quote.

Meridian bids often change with base preparation, the condition of an older driveway, and whether the driveway approach at the street is part of the job. HomeBlue's sealing guide also notes that some contractors charge a $75 to $100 mobilization fee on small driveways. We did not find a sourced local figure for pothole patching alone, so ask for repair as its own line item.

City permits and the public right-of-way

Paving that stays entirely on your own lot does not touch the public right-of-way, but driveway, sidewalk, and curb work at the street does.

ACHD, not the City. The Ada County Highway District says its right-of-way includes all roadways in Ada County apart from state roads and private roads, plus most adjacent sidewalks and pathways. Meridian's standard construction notes say contractors working in the public road right-of-way must get a right-of-way construction permit from ACHD or the Idaho Transportation Department at least 24 hours before construction, and ACHD or ITD inspects that work.

Questions. ACHD's main line is 208-387-6100.

Meridian weather and the best time to pave

Meridian does not have its own NOAA normals station, so we use nearby Boise Air Terminal. Its 1991 to 2020 normals show about 11.5 inches of rain and melted snow a year. December is the wettest month at about 1.54 inches, and August is the driest at about 0.17 inches.

July highs average about 93 degrees, and the station averages about 55 days a year at 90 degrees or hotter. Winters bring about 108 nights a year at freezing or colder and about 17.6 inches of snow, and January highs average about 39 degrees.

Our tip for Meridian homeowners: late spring through early fall is the best window for paving and sealcoating. Fresh asphalt and sealcoat need warm, dry days, so plan around the long freeze season. Summer work should start early in the morning.
