Whether you’re building a driveway or a shopping center parking lot, you want to be confident that the materials you use are going to last. Asphalt has been a go-to material for these types of projects because of its many benefits. Here’s why you should choose asphalt for your next paving project.

The Benefits of Asphalt Paving

1. Durable

Surfaces that handle a lot of car traffic and extreme weather can wear down quickly unless the material used is long-lasting. Asphalt is highly durable under regular stress and won’t wear down due to heat, sunlight, snow, or freezing temperatures. It’s also resistant to leaks, which can lead to potholes. If the material does crack, repairing it is easy, quick, and inexpensive. 

2. Cost-Effective

Installing asphalt is a quick and easy process, and the material itself is low-cost, making it a cost-effective choice for roads, driveways, and parking lots. The short installation time and minimal maintenance required ensures inexpensive labors costs, and its durability makes the material long-lasting.

3. Eco-Friendly

According to the National Asphalt Pavement Association®, asphalt is the most sustainable option for paving. It’s the number one recycled product in the U.S. and saves roughly 50 million cubic yards of landfill space every year. By choosing asphalt over concrete, you’re helping your wallet and the environment.
