There are many options to consider when calculating the asphalt paving costs. Calculating the overall cost of construction and installation depends on a variety of factors. Asphalt overall is a very safe, clean option that provides an excellent surface for a variety of options. Whether a driveway, parking lot, or walkway, it provides business and homeowners an excellent protective surface. What are some of the key factors when counting the final amount of asphalt installation and cost over time?

  1. Choosing Asphalt vs. Concrete

Choosing the correct material for your home or business climate is an important design when considering asphalt paving costs. There are two major options: asphalt or concrete. In cold weather climates, most home and business owners select asphalt. It can endure extreme temperatures, which causes expanding and contracting. In warmer areas, concrete is a better option. It has a longer lifespan, usually three decades. Asphalt typically lasts for twenty years. Overall asphalt is less expensive than concrete in regards to maintenance and repairs. Additionally, it can conceal automobile oil leaks and stains better than concrete.

  1. Calculating Installation

Asphalt installation is an affordable option overall. Some of the factors to consider when calculating the amount of installation include specializes top coats and sealants, clearing, a granite foundation, and any local material costs. You also want to calculate drainage and any geotextile additions. Proper drainage lengthens the lifetime of the paving.

  1. Other Costs

Some other costs to consider include local permits, weather considerations, and engineering costs. For example, curves, slopes, and angles can affect the overall costs. Your property will need proper drainage and the topographical features of your property will affect these costs. Those living in extreme temperatures will need to reapply sealant every few years at the least, though many contractors recommend that owners seal the surface on a yearly basis. Consider all of these options when calculating the cost of your asphalt driveway.
