Concrete driveways can get pretty expensive. Replacing them will cost even more as concrete tends to settle irregularly once it cracks and degrades due to water seepage and erosion, making it a bad experience pulling up to your home or office. Because of this, replacing a concrete driveway typically involves removing large sections or the entire driveway before replacing those sections. This means a higher cost of transport and disposal added to your estimate.

Milled asphalt driveways not only cost less to construct but can also be maintained and repaired at a lower cost. They do not suffer the forces of heating and cooling that cause concrete driveways to crack. Maintaining a solid surface means no water seepage and no erosion, and your driveway will last for decades.

Milled asphalt driveways use material reclaimed from roadways during the resurfacing or repaving process of road construction. By using this material, most of the material will be preexisting material that can have a second life and reduce the need for concrete, which is far more carbon-intensive to manufacture and install. You're not only preventing more landfill usage but also reducing the demand for new materials, which is good for the planet and the economy.

These are not all the benefits you'll gain when choosing a milled asphalt driveway for your driveway replacement or as part of new construction.
