These days, more and more builders, homeowners, and remodelers are choosing asphalt driveways over other paving materials. From commercial to residential applications, there’s a reason you’re seeing asphalt everywhere. To help you understand why asphalt is the right choice for your next project, here are the 3 biggest advantages of choosing an asphalt driveway.

Asphalt Driveways Are Affordable

If you are like most homeowners, the type of driveway you choose largely depends on your budget. If you are leaning toward an asphalt driveway over a concrete one, you will be glad to know that asphalt is often much less expensive than concrete. In addition to being cheaper to install, asphalt driveways are also often cheaper to repair. In fact, most homeowners can easily repair cracks or small holes in an asphalt driveway themselves!

Asphalt Looks Professional And Clean

Because concrete contains cement, it tends to give the exterior of a home an industrialized look, rather than looking warm and inviting. If this look concerns you and you would rather have a driveway with a sophisticated and consistent appearance, asphalt is the way to go. With regular sealcoating and speedy repairs, asphalt driveways will continue to maintain their aesthetic appeal over time, and won’t show those unsightly stains from oil leaks or other spills. 

Asphalt Is Easy To Maintain

Maintenance is a part of life, whether you choose a concrete or gravel driveway. But with asphalt, maintenance is a much easier task to tackle in comparison! Repairing surface damage is fast and easy, and sealcoating can be done quickly and affordably. This is great news for home and building owners alike! In fact, when an entire asphalt driveway needs repairs, only a repaving of the top layer is typically required. This is because both the base layer and the middle layer of an asphalt driveway are considered permanent.

Other Advantages Of Choosing An Asphalt Driveway

These are just a handful of the advantages of an asphalt driveway. When it comes to installation, asphalt driveways are a clear winner as they take less time to make and cure. And when it comes time to replace your asphalt driveway, the material is more easily recycled than concrete.
