How is asphalt paving different from concrete paving?

Asphalt paving uses a blend of asphalt cement and aggregate, making it more flexible and cost-effective. In contrast, concrete paving combines cement, sand, gravel, and water for greater durability but at a higher cost.

How long does asphalt pavement last?

With proper maintenance, asphalt pavement can last between 15 to 20 years or even longer.

How often should I sealcoat my asphalt driveway?

It's recommended to sealcoat your asphalt driveway every 2 to 3 years to protect it from UV rays, moisture, and oil spills.

What is chip sealing and how does it benefit my pavement?

Chip sealing involves applying a layer of asphalt emulsion followed by aggregate (chips). This process seals cracks, provides a skid-resistant surface, and extends the lifespan of your asphalt.

Can asphalt pavement be recycled?

Absolutely, asphalt pavement can be recycled. Recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) is often used in new asphalt mixes, reducing the need for new materials and preserving resources.
