Benefits of Installing Asphalt Rather Than Concrete

Homeowners may have a hard time deciding to install asphalt paving or concrete. This list of asphalt paving benefits should help make the decision easier!

• Asphalt paving is more flexible–and therefore less prone to cracking–than concrete.
• Asphalt paving is done by the hot-mix method and therefore sets faster than concrete, which needs to dry.
• Asphalt paving is unaffected by the application of rock salt or ice melt during winter months.
• Asphalt paving is generally cheaper than concrete paving.
• Asphalt paving does not need the installation of rebar forms. It can even be installed over an existing driveway.
• Asphalt paving is a competitive business, so it is possible to find good deals.
