Although there are many materials to choose from, you’ll want to choose one that can withstand the weight of consistent cars, the test of time, and our worst weather conditions!
With plans for a new driveway underway, you’ve come to the right place.
Although there are many materials to choose from, you’ll want to choose one that can withstand the weight of consistent cars, the test of time, and our worst weather conditions!
That’s where asphalt stands out from the rest as the best.
But wait! There’s so much more. Here are the most amazing advantages of installing asphalt driveway.
Withstands Winter
Not only will asphalt stand the test of time, but it’ll withstand our worst winters too!
As asphalt is inherently flexible, it’s able to fight the freeze-thaw cycle that many other paving products succumb to.
As temperatures plummet and then rise again, water within and underneath the paving will expand and contract. Luckily, asphalt can expand and contract along with it!
And when it comes to snow and ice, sprinkling rock salt won’t sabotage an asphalt driveway like it can others. In fact, due to asphalt’s heat-absorbing jet-black colour, snow tends to melt much faster.
Asphalt Is Affordable
Simply put, asphalt is significantly cheaper than other paving materials!
Not only does the material itself cost less, but the labour costs will be lower too. Asphalt can be installed and cured within two days! Concrete, for example, can take up to two weeks before you can drive on it.
Considering its abundance of other advantages, this offers a much bigger bang for your buck!
Cures Quickly
There’s nothing more frustrating or inconvenient than waiting days for your new driveway to dry.
So, why wait at all?
While materials like concrete need at least 24 hours to cure before light foot traffic is allowed, and at least 10 days for vehicles, you can drive on your asphalt driveway the day it is installed!
Long-Lasting
With minimal maintenance, you’ll enjoy an attractive asphalt driveway for years to come – 15 years to be precise!
And when I say minimal, I mean it.
For the overachiever, the most amount of maintenance needed is seal coating it every two years and resurfacing (if needed) every five years or so!
And even after it’s removed (if it’s ever removed), it lives on. Your asphalt can be recycled again and again to provide pristine, guilt-free driveways for years to come.
Essentially, it’s durability, flexibility, affordability, minimal maintenance, and recyclable nature make it the best choice for longevity, adding serious curb appeal for years on end!
