Asphalt Paving vs Concrete Cement

When deciding weather to pave with asphalt or concrete consider the following:

Cost Effectiveness - Asphalt paving is the least expensive choice... anywhere from 2-3 times less than concrete cement. Asphalt pavement is also easier to repair and resurface.  Removal and replacement is also more cost effective.

Turn Around Time - Asphalt pavement can be driven upon almost immediately after installation with precautions. This is an important consideration for high traffic areas such as parking lots and commercial drive throughs.

Strength - Concrete pavement is structurally stronger and can last longer with proper installation. Full cure is usually achieved between 28 -40 days depending on temperature and humidity. However, it can be driven on within about 24 hours if needed.
