- Concrete is more durable than asphalt.
- Because it is a less flexible material, it cracks in freezing temperatures, and many people turn to concrete patching products.
- Concrete offers 50+ years of use.
- The only maintenance required is occasional degreasing.
- Resurfacing a concrete driveway offers more opportunities for creative appearance. It can be stamped with patterns, tinted to different colors, given different finishes, or engraved with designs.
- Though it is more durable overall, when damages do occur, concrete repair is harder and costlier than asphalt repair.
If you’re looking for a driveway, it may be an investment upfront but will last long and offers customizability.
