Why Does New Construction Need Asphalt Paving?
Geographic
location can play a significant role when deciding what material is best for
new driveway construction: especially if you live in cold or wet climates. Here
are 3 reasons why asphalt is the best option for home-builders or buyers in the
Midwest:
·
Climate: Asphalt driveways are incredibly common in northern climates
because of the material’s pliable characteristics. This is important because during
freeze and thaw cycles, asphalt is much more forgiving than other driveway
materials such as concrete or interlocking pavers. Additionally, the black
color of asphalt soaks in the sun’s heat and melts snow faster during snowy
winter weather. Because of asphalt’s incredible ability to contract and expand
without damage, it is a cost-effective way to pave steep inclines or sloped
areas in colder climates.
·
Quick Installation: A newly best asphalt paving contractors can be installed driveway by
their trained professional in a relatively shore amount of time- typically a
day or two once the sub-grade preparation takes place. Newly constructed
asphalt driveways can be driven on at least 24 hours after installation.
Asphalt hardens over time - taking a full year for a new driveway to fully
cure. Minor scarring to the surface may occur within the first year; especially
on hot sunny days.
·
Cost Effective: Asphalt driveways are one of the most cost-effective options for
new home driveway construction. Some regular maintenance is required to keep
the asphalt driveway in good condition. Cracks should be sealed as soon as
possible using asphalt sealants and sealing should take place every 3-5 years
to maintain the best look and function for your driveway. Both crack-filling
and sealing are easy and cost effective maintenance repairs and upkeep.
