The aesthetic appeal, durability, and swift installation of asphalt paving often go unnoticed. Many overlook the advantages of using the right materials for roads and driveways. However, when asphalt is correctly utilized, it enhances drivability, aesthetics, cost-effectiveness, and environmental friendliness.
Asphalt is a popular choice for pavement due to its numerous benefits for both consumers and the environment. Here are some of the most popular benefits of using asphalt pavement:
Recyclability: Asphalt is 100% recyclable and the most recycled product in America. We recycle 100% of the asphalt removed from job sites as well as concrete and asphalt shingles. Recycled asphalt mix is stronger, longer lasting, and has a stronger rut resistance than virgin asphalt mix.
Durability: An asphalt driveway or road installed by an experienced asphalt contractor will usually last about 15 - 20 years. That estimated lifespan will lengthen if you perform regular preventative maintenance to your surface.
Noise Reduction: Asphalt pavement is the “quiet” pavement option. Due to its open-graded surfaces, fine-graded surfaces and the materials used, asphalt basically absorbs road noise.
Cost Efficiency: Asphalt is generally much more cost efficient to install compared to concrete. One of the main components of any asphalt mix is crude oil. Because of this, fluctuations in crude oil prices can cause fluctuations in asphalt prices.
Quick Completion: The materials needed to create asphalt are easy to get ahold of and able to be turned into asphalt very quickly.
Water Drainage: All asphalt is good for water drainage, but some types of asphalt are better than others. Porous asphalt allows water to pass-through the asphalt into a specially prepared gravel base with helps filter the water back into the ground. Other asphalts are laid specifically to help redirect water to gassy areas or other places where they can be well-managed.
Safety: Asphalt contributes to the safety of your property in a number of ways. Because asphalt has water managing qualities, it can help prevent water from pooling on your property and causing accidents.
