Let’s look at the different types of driveway paving and what they can do for your property.
Concrete Driveways
Concrete is made up of aggregates like sand and gravel suspended in cement, and it’s been in use for centuries. The concrete driveway installation process involves first grading and compacting the area to ensure that water runs away, then pouring liquid concrete over the graded surface. Once it cures, it creates a hard, durable, but porous surface. Benefits of driveways paved in concrete include this ease of installation, as well as design flexibility. Professionals can add patterns and finishes while it’s wet, as well as stain it any color to match your exterior design. Concrete has its drawbacks too, including cracking with temperature changes and breaking down when exposed to oil.
Asphalt Driveways
Like concrete, asphalt also has aggregates suspended in a material, but in asphalt, it’s a petroleum based material called bitumen or tar. When it is hot, asphalt is liquid, so it gets installed hot, curing into a solid but flexible paving layer. Installing and asphalt driveway starts with a perfectly level layer of gravel, usually between 2 and 3 inches deep. Hot asphalt is poured over the gravel in a layer of 1 or 2 inches.
Benefits of Asphalt Driveways
