What are the benefits and drawbacks to asphalt paving?
You may have to move fences and gates before paving with asphalt. The warmer months are the only optimal times for asphalt paving because cold temperatures quickly cause the asphalt to set. If crews are rushed because of the cold weather, they will not do their best work, and your property will suffer as a result. You could end up with bumpy and irregular pavement. Asphalt pavement will require periodic resealing for effectiveness against harsh weather. But there are also many benefits to using asphalt paving. Asphalt pavement is a sustainable building material: It is America’s most recycled material. If properly sealed, it does not crack during the winter. It’s easy to remove snow from asphalt paving because it is so smooth. And when the time comes, it is much easier and less expensive than concrete to re-lay.
