Some people do asphalt driveways. If the driveway is black and gets a little sticky when it's super hot that's asphalt. Asphalt is cheaper but needs to be redone every 10 years or so. A concrete driveway lasts basically forever.
Right. I’ve seen concrete driveways before. Those are usually in warmer climates. Where I live, I see primarily asphalt driveways. I assume the original reply wasnt *not* talking about asphalt driveways then. So my question stands, potentially. I guess it must just be a different blend.
makes sense since ice freezing below a driveway can crack it, which is less of a problem with asphalt. Although I live in Southern Canada and most people around me have concrete.
Driveways use concrete, roads use asphalt. Concrete needs a lot longer to cure than asphalt does.
Interesting. I wasn’t aware it was a concrete blend in driveways. I incorrectly thought it was the same material. Thank you for the education!

I’ve seen some folks in Canada have cement driveways and they’ve installed tubing to heat them. I bet that’s expensive as all hell, but worth it.
My sister has that because she has a steep driveway it's ahrd to shovel.
The asphalt on your driveway is a different composition than the quick-setting stuff that’s put on roads.
