It’s no secret that roads in Michigan take a beating during the winter months. It’s why we’re always plagued with seemingly never-ending construction once the weather gets nice again. If you want to protect your roads before the salt, snow, and ice tear them up this winter, Total Asphalt Paving has a solution for you. We offer asphalt road paving that can prepare your roads to withstand the elements and come out looking fresh in the spring.

Benefits of an asphalt paved road

Asphalt is the best paving material for many reasons. If you’re looking to get long-lasting value for your investment, there’s no better choice.

Durability

Asphalt is the most durable of paving materials because of its physical properties. Asphalt is made using a blend that includes rubber. This gives asphalt much higher flexibility than concrete. With this flexibility, it’s able to withstand heavy trucks without cracking, and it can deal with ice that freezes and expands without taking as much damage.

Quick to install

Most asphalt projects, like a driveway or parking lot, take only a day or two. There is much less time needed to set properly than with concrete. This means that your road won’t have to be non-operational for long.

Less damaging to vehicles

Because of its durability, asphalt develops fewer potholes and cracks than concrete does. The less damage there is to the road, the less damage to the tires and suspension of the vehicles driving over it.

Drains water easily

If water from melted snow gets stuck in your road and freezes, it’s going to expand and crack up the road. Asphalt can drain the water more easily than concrete, making cracks less common.

Cost-efficient

Asphalt is relatively cheap compared to other paving materials. Not only does it last longer than other materials, but it won’t cost you as much to install. That adds up to a better value on both ends.
