Concrete will last 3 times longer than asphalt which makes concrete a more cost effective choice over time due to less maintenance, resurfacing and replacement costs. Other benefits of concrete over asphalt and other materials are appearance. Concrete also doesn't heat up in the summer months causing a semi flexible surface that promotes valleys from auto vehicle weight. It doesn't require regular applications of black asphalt coatings and is simply cleaner. A stamped concrete driveway can enhance your overall landscape and choosing concrete over other surfaces for driveways would be a logical, cost effective and an attractive choice.
