Two Ways Asphalt Is Better Than Paving Stones for Driveways

Need to install a new driveway, but not sure what kind of driveway you want?

When making your decision, you’ll be faced with lots of options for materials, styles, and designs. During your research, you might even look at paving stones as a possible choice for your driveway. However, there’s a reason asphalt is the old standby for homeowners in Fort Worth and across the United States. 

In this blog post, you’ll learn about two ways asphalt is a better choice for your driveway than paving stones. Keep reading for more details!

1. Asphalt Is Less Expensive

While paving stones are super long-lasting and lend lots of character to your property, they’re exponentially more expensive than asphalt.

Take a look at the numbers. Installing an asphalt driveway costs $2 to $5 per square foot, on average. Meanwhile, installing a paving stone driveway costs $15 to $30 per square foot, with expenses ranging widely depending on the type of stones used.

2. Asphalt Is Easier to Install

Related to the high cost of installing paving stones is the huge amount of labor involved.

Both asphalt and paving stones require excavation to install a sturdy base and foundation. However, beyond that, paving stone installation is extremely labor-intensive, since the stones need to be laid one by one and then have some type of filler or mortar applied. Compare that to asphalt paving, which can be rolled out and tamped down with heavy-duty equipment much more quickly.
