There are a handful of viable options available to those looking to install or update a residential driveway, but what makes asphalt paving more enticing than the alternatives? With over 35 years of experience, Ron Webb Paving & Snow Removal, in Anchorage, AK, have seen the overwhelming advantage that makes asphalt paving a tough choice to beat. 

When placed side by side with other popular driveway materials like concrete, here are just a few of the benefits asphalt paving demonstrates: 

• Fast Installation: Depending on the size of the job, an asphalt driveway just takes a day or two to install. The time between installation and usability is also much shorter than concrete, which can take twice as long to lay and even longer before it's set and cured. 
• Durable Results: Asphalt is immensely durable, and its flexibility makes it less likely to crack over an extended period. Concrete, on the other hand, frequently has problems with cracking and surface flaking, especially in colder climates, both of which can be exacerbated due to poor installation techniques. 
• Lower Maintenance: Asphalt paving doesn't need much in the way of maintenance, and even when cracks do appear, repair is a relatively simple process. There are also plenty of preventive measures you can take to build toward a longer lifespan, including seal coating, crack filling, and other aspects of general cleaning and upkeep. 

Beyond these key benefits, asphalt also retains more heat from the sun than the alternatives, making the snow melt faster during the cold winter months. All of this will be even further enhanced with expert installation from a company like Ron Webb Paving & Snow Removal.
