Why Should You Use Asphalt?

Asphalt pavement, which includes a mixture of sand, gravel, crushed rocks, slags, etc., is a common material used for the construction of driveways and parking lots. Nashville paving companies can help you with your commercial and residential projects.

Benefits of Asphalt paving

Asphalt pavement is the most common material used due to the range of benefits it offers.

Safety

Asphalt pavement is resistant to skidding which reduces the possibility of accidents; and the high color contrast with painted lines and indicators offers much better visibility in tough weather condition. Asphalt evens allows ice and snow to melt faster than other pavement materials. Open-graded asphalt can also help reduce splash and sprays during rainstorms.

Smoothness

Compared to other forms of pavements, asphalt pavement offers a uniform surface. It reduces friction between your tires and the pavement which provides you better fuel economy and helps your tires last longer.

Cost-effective

The installation and repair expenses of asphalt paving are less than most other options. It requires less money for maintenance than other options and usually only needs periodic maintenance to keep it lasting for years.

Durable

Asphalt pavement is also very durable. Asphalt pavement is flexible and can withstand occasional overloading without experiencing any serious damage.

Ready Quickly

Another advantage of asphalt pavement is installation speed. Asphalt doesn’t need extensive site preparation and can be used almost as fast as you put it down.

Environmentally friendly

Asphalt is also one of the most recycled products in America; it is 100% recyclable. You can remove and crush old pavement, and mix fresh asphalt with old to reuse it for future paving projects. Asphalt also needs 20% less energy than other pavement materials, and you can even use old tires in new asphalt pavement. This helps reduce landfill waste and conserve natural resources.

Quiet

Asphalt pavement is quite. Reduced noise and smooth driving makes a better experience for the driver and their vehicle.
