Paul,

The asphalt will have to have a minimum of 6 inches of road base installed below the asphalt traffic course. This is typicaly crushed concrete, lime rock, shell. You cant just scrape off the sod and put down asphalt. Asphalt takes a while to cure. If you park on it too soon it will get depressions from the wheels even with wood under them. cure is faster during cool temperatures. Both surfaces make a good driveway if properly done. In your area there are issues with freeze thaw that we dont have down here in Florida.

Good luck
