Why Choose Asphalt?

If you’re considering replacing your driveway or parking lot, you’re probably wondering which material is right for your home or commercial property. Selecting the right pavement surface impacts your aesthetics, functionality, and budget. Asphalt is by far the most popular choice for driveways, parking lots, and other paved surfaces. In addition to being aesthetically appealing, it offers better traction and skid resistance, as well as a durable, stable foundation for long lasting safety and enhanced functionality.

Unlike concrete or other types of pavement materials, asphalt is highly versatile and can be dyed to match the overall style or design of your property. Also, it can be covered with almost any material including gravel, brick, or cobblestone. In terms of budget and timing, asphalt offers a cost-effective solution and a relatively short curing time which proves to be a significant advantage to homeowners and business who value quick accessibility and uninterrupted access to the driveway or parking lot.

Let’s explore other advantages of choosing asphalt for your next paving project:

Better in Colder Climates

Anyone who’s lived through a Minnesota winter knows that the temperature fluctuations and freeze-thaw cycles can wreak havoc on paved surfaces. Asphalt offers inherent flexibility that allows it to expand and contract seamlessly without causing significant damage to the area. It provides a long-lasting, durable solution that can withstand harsh elements for years to come.  

Cost-Effective and Affordable

Asphalt surfaces offer a distinct advantage over other materials in terms of affordability. Both the initial installation and subsequent maintenance costs are lower than concrete but will not compromise the quality of the finished product.

Lower Maintenance Costs

Maintaining an asphalt driveway or parking lot is straightforward and affordable. If your paved asphalt surface does show signs of cracking, it can be repaired and efficiently using crack sealant. In addition, regular preventative maintenance such as sealcoating, crack filling, and sweeping can extend the life of your asphalt surface for years to come.

Enhances Curb Appeal

Let’s face it – asphalt is simply a more attractive alternative for your paved surfaces even for high traffic areas.  Its smooth, sleek appearance can enhance the curb appeal of your home or commercial property and create a lasting first impression for future guests or customers.
