Winter means snow. For many buildings, it means snow mountains and snow-filled walkways and driveways. If you own a commercial building, then you know that your driveway affects the general perception of your building. No one fancies a driveway filled with cracks or potholes. This holiday season, here are three things you can do to keep your driveway:
Fix cracks. Asphalt expands and contracts when temperatures fluctuates. These cracks can create permanent damage on the driveway when water seeps into the foundation. Hire a contractor as soon as you can to fix these cracks.
Clear the driveway regularly. Don’t allow accumulation of snow on your driveway. Snow can keep cracks hidden. It is important to shovel your driveway often so snow doesn’t worsen cracks or cause damages.
Use Sealcoating.

Cement is a material that can be used for driveway paving. Two more, very diverse options for paving ones driveway are asphalt and pea gravel. Asphalt and cement are the two of the three most commonly used options.
You needed to specify to what depth the asphalt is being laid.
The base or foundation can be between 6 and 10 inches thick. Over that is laid the asphalt anywhere from 1.5" to 3" in thickness. The asphalt driveway needs to be sealed at least every three years, more often in severe weather climates.

Some people prefer asphalt to concrete and vice versa. Initially it's less expensive to get an asphalt driveway and asphalt is easier to repair. However it will need more maintainence. Basically this is a personal choice and often comes down to which one you get the best deal on.
