Top 4 Pros and Cons of Asphalt in 2019

asphalt-driveway-sealing

Asphalt remains a popular driveway and parking lot option for many homeowners and business owners. Properly installed asphalt can last for many years, especially with regular asphalt driveway sealing and maintenance. What are the biggest pros and cons of asphalt paving for 2019?

Relatively Low Maintenance

Asphalt paving is a clear aesthetically pleasing choice. To keep your asphalt driveway or parking lot looking pristine, clean it at least twice a year. Regularly maintain the driveway with professional asphalt driveway sealing. Deal with any cracks, potholes, or damage immediately. You should seal-coat the asphalt every two to five years. This will ensure that the surface remains strong and water-resistant. Contact our professionals today to learn how to maintain and improve your driveway.

How Long Does Asphalt Last?

While concrete driveways last about thirty years, a well-maintained asphalt driveway lasts about twenty years. However, many homeowners and business owners prefer the look of the asphalt over aged concrete. Regular maintenance will help keep the curb appeal of your home.

Costs are Lower

The cost of an asphalt driveway is about half the cost of concrete. It can cost around five dollars per foot, depending on the installer and the materials. Keep in mind that there may be extra costs depending on how much space you need to pave and if there are features, like landscaping, that need to be considered.

Weather

Like many other materials, asphalt takes a beating in colder weather. The snow and ice melt into the cracks of the driveway. When the liquid freezes, it expands. This can cause potholes, deep cracks, and structural damage. It is recommended that you repair your driveway before the winter sets. If you are not sure how to repair your driveway and winterize it, please call us today. Our seasoned professionals can help you.
