Pavement contractors usually use asphalt to finish the job faster than usual. They can complete a driveway in just a few days compared to using concrete, requiring up to a week. For those who want their driveways replaced quickly with a high-quality product, asphalt tends to win in terms of speed.

Additionally, when repairing the driveway, asphalt is simple to repair and will provide an even appearance. This can easily be done making the drive look new again. This alone is a huge benefit of this choice in material for your yard.

The lifespan of the pavement is another consideration. If you do get a top quality concrete driveway, it will last about as long as normal asphalt driveways. The issue for many is that they will notice that concrete tends to chip especially if the job was done poorly. With asphalt this isn’t as much of an issue. It will continue to have an even appearance years down the road without having the chipped or bad spots that you may notice on other types of driveways.

In the long run, asphalt tends to be the economical alternative to concrete or other materials. Most homeowners already have enough to maintain and deal with. When getting a type of product that is less expensive and lasts a long time, it’s the type of driveway to think about.
