The Benefits of Asphalt Pavement:
- Asphalt pavement is strong and durable.
- Asphalt pavement is a smooth, continuous surface.
- Asphalt pavement is engineered to withstand freezing and thawing.
- Asphalt pavement is unaffected by salt (for winter sanding and salting).
- Asphalt pavement is designed to flex and "give" with underground settlements or frost heaves.
- Asphalt pavement is far cheaper than concrete, which is also brittle and cracks easily.
Additionally, if a utility line or pipe must pass under your driveway, repairs are easy and quick, as opposed to concrete.
