Most commercial and residential driveways are finished with asphalt or concrete.   Why should you choose Asphalt over concrete for your driveway, or parking log project?

Asphalt Offers Both Installation Speed and Fast Usability

An Asphalt driveway can typically be laid in 1 - 2 days. Concrete takes 2x as long to level the surface, build a form and then curing time can be 3 days to a week.

Asphalt Offers Driveway Durability

Asphalt will not flake like concrete, which could be caused by not installing properly. Flaking in concrete could be an ongoing problem that would need a lot of maintenance and could eventually lead to cracking over time.

Asphalt Pavement Offers Lower Maintenance Costs

Most asphalt requires little maintenance over time if installed properly. Asphalt driveways may start to show a small amount of cracking, overtime, but this can be repaired easily and inexpensively with crack sealing or seal coating. In fact most crack sealant products are widely available to the public through home improvement retailers, such as Home Depot or Lowes. You dont have to have any experience to apply, and always, there is YouTube with many instructional videos to help show you how to apply it.

With a bit of regular preventative maintenance, like crack filling, seal coating and general upkeep, you can extend the life of your asphalt driveway for many years to come. Concrete is difficult to maintain, because it cannot be easily maintained or repaired.

Asphalt Pavement Offers Many Benefits

An additional benefit of using asphalt over concrete is that the color helps draw and retain the sun's heat. In the winter, this means that snow will melt faster on an asphalt driveway than it will on a concrete driveway, which can also improve the safety factor! .
