Ultimate Guide to Types of Driveways for Your Home

When your guests visit your home, they see your driveway and entrance first. Your choice of driveway not only makes a statement; it increases the overall value of your home. The driveway provides safety and security for visitors and vehicles alike. Choosing the right asphalt paving companies will ensure that you will enjoy a beautiful driveway for decades to come. What options are available for the contemporary homeowner?

Choosing the Right Material for Your Home

You have many options when installing a new driveway: concrete, interlocking pavers, asphalt, and more. Choosing the right type of material depends on a number of factors including your climate, drainage needs, use of the driveway, budget, and home size. You can opt for simplicity and functionality or make an elegant statement with a customized driveway by professional asphalt paving companies. These are the most popular materials used today:

Concrete remains a popular option for many homeowners in the suburbs. Concrete last for a long time and requires little maintenance. Cooler climates may find that cracks quickly result due to de-icing. Additionally, concrete driveways are susceptible to staining. Proper installation by a professional contractor will ensure that your concrete driveway has a lengthy lifespan.
Asphalt driveways have an elegant aesthetic. Asphalt is relatively inexpensive to install but does require regular maintenance. The surface cracks easily, especially in colder climates. Additionally, unlike concrete, asphalt has limited color options, coming in only black. The asphalt does heat up during warmer weather, making it less popular in hot climates.
Gravel driveways have loose gravel poured within a barrier. While a very inexpensive option, most suburban and urban homes do not have gravel driveways. This is a more popular option for rural properties.
Interlocking pavers add a beautiful touch of artistry to your driveway. They increase the overall look of your home and require less maintenance. The individual pavers can be replaced, as opposed to replacing the entire driveway. They are crack-resistant, as well. The interlocking driveway is also stronger than asphalt or concrete. Enjoy a wide variety of options like stone or brick. Interlocking pavers also come in a wide variety of color options.
