Installation Time
Asphalt driveways are typically easier and faster to install than concrete. This applies to both residential and business driveways. Asphalt installation is completed within 24 to 48 hours. By comparison, concrete takes about twice as long, sometimes longer. This is because of the labor associated with pouring the concrete and waiting for it to cure.
Durability
While concrete is durable, it’s susceptible to flaking and cracking as it gets older. Once cracks form, it becomes prone to absorbing moisture, resulting in warping. Asphalt isn’t as prone to cracking and tends to hold up well against elements like fluctuating temperatures.
Maintenance Cost
Asphalt typically requires less upkeep. Even if cracking does form, repair costs are more affordable. Cracks can be sealed with relative ease using commercial-grade sealant. As for concrete, a crack may require the entire slab to be replaced. The replacement process can be time-consuming, and the cost of a new slab can be quite high.
