Asphalt Versus Concrete: The Benefits of Concrete

While the initial cost of asphalt is cheaper, the lifespan and added home value make concrete a much more economical option. A well-installed concrete driveway will last you and your family several decades. All in all, a concrete driveway should last at least twice as long as asphalt.

Concrete has curb appeal! This is especially true for stamped concrete driveways. Simply put, a beautiful driveway makes your home look nicer. A stamped concrete driveway is easy on the eyes and a great asset to your home, should you decide to sell later down the road.

Another bonus of concrete driveways: they have the potential to help save on electric bills! While asphalt reflects only 5% of any light reflected on it, concrete reflects a whopping 27%. With properly placed lighting, you can achieve the same degree of illumination with far fewer lights.

Tips for Maintaining Your Concrete Driveway

A relatively low-maintenance material, concrete driveways require very little upkeep. Here are 3 tips that can help keep your driveway beautiful for decades to come.

1. Power Washing & Resealing

Following the initial sealing of your driveway, we recommend a good powerwash and resealing every two years or so, depending on the amount of wear and tear your driveway encounters. Powerwashing typically removes even the toughest of stains, but it’s still a good habit to remove harmful substances, such as grease and oil, immediately to avoid any lasting damage.

2. Avoid Salt In the Winter

During those harsh South Jersey winters, you’ll want to treat your driveway with a little extra care. Avoid harsh deicing agents and opt for rock salt or calcium chloride. If possible, we recommend using sand for traction and forgoing salt altogether. Even natural salt has corrosive tendencies, and new concrete is particularly susceptible to its effects.

3. Skip Metal Shovels or Plows

When shoveling snow, be mindful of the type of shovel or plow you use on your driveway. Metal blades and shovels have the potential to leave marks or scratches on concrete.

While none of these tips are mandatory, and skipping them won’t dramatically damage your driveway, we highly recommend following them. Taking a little extra time to care for your driveway will keep it looking brand new much longer.
