When you choose a material for your commercial or residential surfacing project, you want to go with the one that will give you the most long-term value. The road surfacing professionals at AAA Paving Company in Kernersville, NC, say asphalt pavement is a superior material suited for a wide variety of projects.

Below, they explain five benefits of asphalt paving:

• Affordable: Concrete doesn’t compete with asphalt’s low life cycle cost. Not only is it faster and more affordable than concrete installation, but it is also much less expensive to repair.
• Durable: Asphalt pavement is incredibly durable and will last for decades if it is built and maintained well. Well-built roads and driveways should last at least 15 to 20 years before needing major reconstruction.
• Safe: Asphalt pavement offers several safety features. It can be formulated to prevent skidding, promote water drainage, and protect drivers during inclement weather conditions. Moreover, studies have shown, because asphalt roads are quieter than concrete ones, they help prevent driver fatigue.
• Versatile: Asphalt pavement is not just for roads and driveways. It is also used in a variety of commercial and residential construction projects, including running tracks, athletic courts, and barn floors.
• Recyclable: Asphalt is 100% recyclable and is the most-recycled product within the United States. Old pavement can be removed, crushed, and mixed with fresh asphalt for reuse in future paving projects, reducing its impact on the environment.
