If your driveway has seen better days, with cracks that seem to multiply or surfaces that are uneven, a simple repair might not cut it. Instead, consider a complete driveway tear out. Starting fresh not only resolves underlying issues but also gives you the chance to enhance your property's curb appeal and functionality. Let's explore why tearing out your old driveway and replacing it with a new rock or asphalt surface could be the best move.
Why Opt for a Driveway Tear Out?
Address Deep Damage: Extreme wear and tear can compromise the structural integrity of your driveway. A tear out allows you to tackle problems like poor foundational materials or inadequate drainage systems, ensuring that your new driveway stands the test of time.
Upgrade Your Home’s Exterior: A driveway makeover can significantly improve the overall look of your property, boosting its value and appeal. It's an ideal opportunity to redesign the layout or change materials to better suit your home's style.
Choosing Between Rock and Asphalt Driveways
After a complete tear out, choosing the right material for your new driveway is crucial. Advanced Paving and Sealcoating offers two popular options: rock and asphalt. Each has its benefits depending on your aesthetic preferences, maintenance willingness, and budget.
Benefits of Rock Driveways:
Natural Aesthetics: Rock driveways provide a rustic charm that complements landscapes and adds a touch of nature to your property.
Enhanced Drainage: Rock surfaces naturally allow water to permeate, reducing runoff and promoting better water management on your property.
Durability and Low Maintenance: Rocks are durable and typically require less maintenance than paved surfaces. They're excellent for areas prone to extreme weather conditions, as they don’t crack from freeze-thaw cycles.
Benefits of Asphalt Driveways:
Smooth Finish: Asphalt provides a smooth, continuous surface that's ideal for all types of vehicles. It’s particularly beneficial in areas that receive a lot of snow, as the smooth surface makes for easier shoveling and plowing.
Cost-Effectiveness: Asphalt is generally less expensive to install than other paving materials and offers a strong return on investment through its long lifespan when properly maintained.
Quick Installation: Asphalt driveways can be laid down and ready to use much quicker than concrete, minimizing disruption to your daily routine.
