The amount of square feet in a ton of asphalt will depend on the thickness of the asphalt. If the asphalt is three inches thick it will have to cover the area three times. The type of asphalt used is also a factor towards weight.
The base or foundation can be between 6 and 10 inches thick. Over that is laid the asphalt anywhere from 1.5" to 3" in thickness. The asphalt driveway needs to be sealed at least every three years, more often in severe weather climates.

As a rule of thumb, 0.112 tons of asphalt (2" thick) will cover 1 square yard or 9 square feet. Thus 1 tone of asphalt (2" thick) will cover 8.93 square yards or 80.36 square feet. ------------------------------- Another (possibly more accurate) way of doing this is to use standards 1 ton [long, UK] = 2240 pounds Density of compacted Asphalt = 147 pounds per cubic foot (1728 cubic inches) 12 inches times 12 inches times 2 inches = 288 cubic inches Thus the weight of 288 cubic inches of compacted asphalt will be (288/1728)* 147 = 24.5 pounds. Therefore a tone of asphalt will cover 2240/24.5 = 91.43 square feet to a depth of 2 inches.
To calculate the amount of hot mix asphalt needed to cover an area 20x20 feet at a depth of 9 inches, first convert the thickness to feet (9 inches = 0.75 feet). Then calculate the volume of asphalt required by multiplying the area (20x20 = 400 square feet) by the thickness in feet (400 sq ft x 0.75 ft = 300 cubic feet). As asphalt is typically sold by weight, you will need to know the specific density of the hot mix asphalt in order to convert the volume to tons.
