Concrete vs. Asphalt
Consider this:
Concrete last longer with less need for maintenance and repair (up to 3 times longer). So concrete costs less in the long run.
Asphalt is cheaper but requires frequent and regular maintenance. Life-expectancy of asphalt is 10-15 years IF it is properly maintained.
Concrete will not develop potholes or tire ruts.
Concrete Is Environmentally Friendly!
Concrete is completely recyclable
Concrete doesn't release odorous petroleum products into the air.
Concrete conserves oil, which is used to produce asphalt pavements.
Replacing asphalt pavements with concrete can help to lower summertime temperatures because concrete reflects sunlight instead of absorbing it. |
