So, the paving material that you ultimately choose will depend on several factors, including your budget, particular paving application, regional climate, location, intended use, and much more. It is important to speak with a licensed and experienced <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aciindiana.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Indianapolis Indiana paving contractor<\/a> who can help you understand the best options for your pavement installation or repair project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you are focusing solely on budget, the cost of asphalt versus concrete may play an important role in your final decision. Both materials may pose both advantages and disadvantages depending on your paving needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>Asphalt Cost<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the paving industry, asphalt is one of the most economical choices because it is a very inexpensive material. For this reason, you often see roads and driveways paved with asphalt. In comparison, concrete is typically more expensive and requires a higher level of routine maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can expect asphalt cost anywhere between $1 and $5 per square foot installed, while concrete has the average cost of $3 to $10 per square foot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These prices depend on several factors, of course, and will vary depending on retailer, grade, quality, and volume. &nbsp;One of the most determining factors will be the size of your paved lot. The larger the lot, the more money it will cost to install, regardless of paving material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>Comparing the Two<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is difficult to compare the cost without first identifying all of the factors unique to your paving project and\/or needs. As a general consensus within the industry, it is suggested that asphalt is typically cheaper, but only initially.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over time, asphalt will require some routine maintenance, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aciindiana.com\/services\/sealcoating.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">seal coating<\/a>, or minor repairs, which can add to the annual cost of paved asphalt. You can expect paved asphalt to last anywhere between 10 and 30 years, while most concrete paved surfaces last between 20 to 60 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\"><strong>Are you interested in learning more about your Indiana commercial paving project or pavement repair needs? <\/strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.aciindiana.com\/contact-us.php\" target=\"_blank\">Contact ACI Asphalt and Concrete<\/a> at 317-549-1833 to speak with a seasoned <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aciindiana.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">commercial paving contractor in Indianapolis, Indiana<\/a> today.
