Homeowners and business owners have many choices when choosing the right type of material for their driveway. Parking lot maintenance, aesthetics, and weather are all important factors in determining the right type of material. What are the materials available for your driveway, and which is the cheapest?

Asphalt Driveways – Pros and Cons

Asphalt driveways continue to be the least costly option. Regular parking lot maintenance is necessary, as asphalt is prone to cracks and potholes. Harsh weather conditions and water damage can easily deteriorate the asphalt. Because of its relatively high maintenance, regular resealing and repair is necessary every few years. While this may be a good option for most situations, realize the amount of work that needs to be done to maintain the asphalt.

Expect to resurface the driveway every ten to fifteen years, especially in harsh climates. Asphalt is relatively easy to plow in the winter, especially when compared with gravel or stone parking lots and driveways. It also provides better traction for pedestrians, minimizing falls. Asphalt has a nice curb appeal.

Concrete Challenges and Benefits

Concrete driveways cost a little bit more than asphalt driveways. It has very similar properties in regards to durability but with a longer lifespan. Sealing is recommended regularly, and concrete is prone to damage and cracking in harsher weather conditions. Concrete does not have the curb appeal of asphalt. Ask about custom options like color and brushing for more aesthetic appeal.

Paving Stone Driveways

While paving stone driveways have a higher cost, they also add the most attractive curb appeal to your home or business. Enjoy a stone pavement lifespan of thirty years or more with low maintenance. Stone blends with landscaping, driveways, and fountains. Brick and stone last in harsh climates. Paving stone requires professional installation. Enjoy a luxurious driveway for decades.
