Comparing Asphalt and Concrete Options
Compare an asphalt driveway and concrete for your driveway project:
- Cost: Asphalt driveways usually cost $3–$7 per ft². The other option starts around $8 per ft².
- Thickness & Base: Asphalt paving blend is placed 2–4 in thick on a stone layer. The alternative surface uses 4–6 in thickness and requires more foundation prep.
- Maintenance: Asphalt surfaces need sealcoating every few years. The alternative needs less sealing but can crack.
- Parking lots: It’s popular for parking lots because it handles heavy loads. Many parking lot owners choose it for durability.
- Durability: It’s flexible and resists freeze-thaw cycles. The other material supports decorative finishes.
