Q: Is asphalt a type of concrete?

• <div><p>Asphalt is not a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-of-concrete.htm">type of concrete</a>. While both are a common type of pavement, asphalt is composed of aggregates (like sand and gravel) and bitumen; concrete is a mixture of cement, aggregates, and water. Here are some of the key <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pros-and-cons-asphalt-vs-concrete-driveway.htm">differences between asphalt and concrete driveways</a>.</p></div>

Q: Is three inches of asphalt enough depth for a driveway?

• <div><p>Three inches is a great thickness for a residential asphalt driveway that sees minimal to moderate traffic from cars, SUVs, and pickup trucks. However, a thicker driveway can better withstand the weight of a heavier vehicle, such as a trailer or a recreational vehicle. If you drive a heavy vehicle on a thin driveway, you risk cracking and damaging it.</p></div>

Q: What is the best material for steep driveways?

• <div><p>You have a few options if you&rsquo;re looking for the best material for a steep driveway. Gravel and crushed stone are affordable and provide good traction, while resin helps prevent puddles from forming and can be coated with an anti-slip finish.</p></div>
