Is an asphalt or concrete driveway better?

• <div><p>Asphalt can get sticky in high temperatures and intense sunlight and is better for cooler or moderate climates, while concrete is more likely to crack in colder climates where water can seep into the slab and freeze. Asphalt requires more maintenance in terms of sealing, it has a slightly shorter lifespan, on average, and it’s a bit more expensive to install. Concrete will last longer with less maintenance, and it offers you more options for customization, including staining and stamped patterns. As such, a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/does-concrete-driveway-increase-home-value.htm">concrete driveway adds to home value</a> more than an asphalt driveway in many cases. </p></div>

What are the main alternatives to recycled asphalt for my driveway?

• <div><p>If you’re looking for a similar, eco-friendly driveway material, you might consider one of these options:</p><ul><li><p><b>Permeable pavement:</b> This material is sometimes called “pervious” or “porous” pavement; it allows stormwater to drain into the subbase, eliminating storm drain costs. </p></li><li><p><b>Gravel:</b> Consider paving your driveway with locally sourced gravel. By sourcing from a nearby source, your money won’t fund international shipping and will be invested back into your local community.</p></li><li><p><b>Natural stone pavers:</b> Because natural stone pavers are made from organically-produced stone, there’s no new manufacturing required, limiting the environmental impact. In addition, water easily flows and drains through the gaps in the pavers.</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

What are some gravel alternatives for driveways?

• <div><p>If you’ve researched everything there is to know about gravel driveways and aren’t sold on the idea, you have options. Gravel <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/choosing-perfect-material-your-driveway.htm">alternative materials for driveways</a> include traditional options like concrete and asphalt. If you want the look of natural stone, stone pavers are another option that sometimes uses gravel around the pavers. For maximum drainage, permeable driveways or brick driveways are also popular choices.</p></div>

I recently had an asphalt driveway put in. The crew was very professional. The driveway is smooth and very happy with the quality of the new driveway. They even went above and beyond and put in a small drainage area for water runoff. It has definitely improved the appearance of my home.
