There are a handful of factors to consider when deciding which material to use for your driveway, including cost, lifespan, and appearance. While asphalt is probably the most well-known choice for driveways, concrete is a worthy alternative with a compelling set of advantages. Builder's Concrete East in Windham, CT, shares the top benefits of having a concrete driveway. 

Top 3 Reasons to Get a Concrete Driveway

1. Longevity

As long as you live in a region that doesn't normally experience severe winters, concrete driveways outlast asphalt ones. Good concrete driveways can last decades and don’t require the re-layering work that asphalt driveways do. 

2. Aesthetic Design

concreteWith asphalt driveways, homeowners more or less know what they're getting—visual flourishes are very limited with this material. Concrete driveways, on the other hand, offer a range of opportunities for "pattern-stamping." Popular patterns that can be easily applied to driveways include herringbone, basket weave, and the alluring appearance of cobblestone. Pattern-stamping is an exciting way to stylishly personalize the first thing people see on the outside of your home. 

3. Property Value

Concrete driveways are considered classier and more decorative than their asphalt counterparts. This means that a beautiful concrete driveway can actually lift the overall appearance and appeal of your home, potentially enhancing its value.
