When it comes to smooth outdoor hardscape surfaces such as driveways, parking lots, basketball courts, and the like, you pretty much have your choices narrowed down to concrete and asphalt. Concrete chips and cracks and deteriorates over time and concrete repairs can be both a pain and expensive. Asphalt paving, on the other hand, is not only less expensive than concrete but it’s also durable and easier to maintain and repair.
Asphalt Curb Appeal
Your property’s drive or parking lot is used nearly daily and it’s the first thing that visitors to your property see when they show up. Your driveway or parking lot can either contribute to your curb appeal or detract from it, and it’s the first chance you’ll to make a good impression on your guests. If you’re like most property owners, you probably would prefer not to have that first impression based on an unsightly, cracked, and crumbling drive or parking lot.
Your property should have a drive or parking lot that welcomes your visitors and a shabby poorly-kept drive or parking surface can give the impression of a shabby poorly-kept property. If you want your visitors to be impressed by the condition of your property, look for a contractor who is experienced with paving in Bellingham, WA for your outdoor parking and driveway needs.
Asphalt Maintenance Services
Bellingham paving and asphalt does experience wear just as it would in any city, but fortunately asphalt is less susceptible to chipping and deterioration than concrete, due in part to the fact that paving is seamless with less edge surface than multiple slabs of concrete. Asphalt is less costly to maintain than concrete as sealing cracks in concrete is tedious and repairing concrete damage is labor intensive. Asphalt, on the other hand, can be easily sealed or repaired using far less labor. Asphalt maintenance, when performed yearly, can help keep your paved surfaces smooth and serviceable year after year.
