Summer is here and you may be spending a large amount of your time working on outdoor projects. From the flower beds to styling your front porch, you certainly want the best curb appeal on the block. But have you considered if your driveway is holding your home back from its full potential? Having a cracked, uneven driveway may be an eyesore for you or others passing by, taking away from the hard work you’ve put in on the rest of your yard. Replacing your driveway is a hard decision, but picking what type of material might be even more difficult. Should you go with a concrete driveway? Or maybe an asphalt driveway? We’re here to answer those questions by giving you the pros and the cons of both major types of driveways: concrete and asphalt.
Concrete driveways are a wonderful addition to any home. They offer a beautiful, welcoming entrance to your home, and can be designed in many different ways. But there are a couple drawbacks as well. Here are a few of the biggest pros and cons to choosing a concrete driveway.
Asphalt is another popular driveway material for homeowners. Asphalt tends to be popular for its affordable price. But beware, if you live in a state with major weather fluctuations, asphalt may not be the best option. Here are the major pros and cons of an asphalt driveway.
Both types of driveway materials have pros and cons. At the end of the day, it all depends on what your needs and budget allow. If you have a generous driveway budget, opting for a concrete driveway is likely the superior choice. Not only will it last significantly longer, but the versatility it offers with style and design can’t be beat. Check out some of the beautiful stamped concrete work we’ve completed in the past to get an idea of how versatile it is.
However, if you’re a homeowner on a tight budget, choosing an asphalt driveway may be the better option. But no matter which material you choose, proper maintenance and care is required to prolong the life of your beautiful new driveway.
