• <div><p>Gravel driveways are significantly more affordable than asphalt driveways, making them an enticing financial decision when choosing your next driveway material. On average, gravel driveways are <b>$5.75 to $13 per square foot </b>cheaper than asphalt driveways. </p><p>It's not just their price that makes gravel driveways more economical. Gravel driveways also can last up to 100 years with minimum maintenance, whereas asphalt driveways only last for 15 to 30 years with proper maintenance. But if you&rsquo;re looking for the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/best-driveway-material-for-cold-weather.htm">best driveway material for cold weather</a>, asphalt may be a better choice.</p></div>

Q: Do you need a permit to build your own driveway?

• <div><p>The answer to whether or not you need to get a permit before you start your driveway can vary widely based on local ordinances and the scope of your <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/driveway-ideas.htm">driveway ideas</a>. In most urban and suburban areas, a permit is needed before building a new driveway to ensure that a homeowner is using safe materials and proper drainage practices while designing and constructing a new driveway. In some rural areas, a homeowner may not be required to apply for a permit. When building a new driveway on your own, always check with your local building department to see if you need to request a permit. When hiring a driveway contractor, verify that the right permits are being used before driveway construction begins.</p></div>

Q: Is asphalt better than concrete for driveways?

• <div><p>There are quite a few differences between concrete and asphalt. Concrete is more costly up front and more challenging to repair. Asphalt does better in cold climates and works well with radiant heat systems. Porous asphalt is also excellent for wet climates, as it allows the water to drain away. However, it does get unpleasantly hot in the summer and requires more maintenance than concrete. </p></div>

Q: What are the benefits of asphalt paving over other materials?

• <div><p>Asphalt is cost-effective, quick to install, and offers longevity with proper maintenance.</p></div>

Q: What driveway materials last the longest?

• <div><p>Pavers last longer than both concrete and asphalt when well cared for. Since you can place individual pavers that suffer damage, you won't need to repave the entire driveway for an average of up to 50 years. However, the best material for you comes down to your local climate and budget.</p></div>
