A big question facing many property owners is whether to get an asphalt or concrete driveway installed. Since this is an important issue to consider, Spallina Materials, based in Mt. Morris, NY, wants to make sure each customer is aware of the advantages and disadvantages of both options. Ultimately, having an asphalt driveway may prove to be the more cost-effective choice, but concrete driveways have their advantages, too.

If price is the main consideration, then asphalt paving is the cheaper option. In some cases, it can be half the price of concrete. Even though concrete costs more, it tends to last approximately ten years longer and requires less maintenance over the long term. But keep in mind that it’s more expensive to do repairs on concrete even though it's usually the more durable option.

Other issues to consider when choosing between an asphalt or concrete driveway is that oil and gas stains appear more visibly on a concrete, whereas gas can cause damage to an asphalt driveway. Also, concrete tends to crack more under extreme weather conditions.

Whichever you choose, rest assured that Spallina Materials will provide the best quality products and install your driveway at a fair price. The family-owned and operated business distinguishes itself from the competitors with its wealth of experience and its sustained commitment to every customer. With its fleet of dump trucks, Spallina Materials will conveniently provide you with large quantities of aggregate within 50 miles of the Mt. Morris area.
