Asphalt
Contractors consider asphalt one of the cheapest options. Paving an asphalt driveway 200m2 ranges from R21 000 to R27 000.00. Asphalt is certainly less expensive than concrete, but it is also smoother because it does not have joints or gap. Asphalt is stronger than an equal depth of concrete, and much stronger than concrete that is not fortified with rebar or wire mesh. If homeowners reseal the asphalt driveway every three years, it will last about 20 years.
Asphalt should be 50mm thick when used over gravel for new driveways, and 35mm inches thick when repaving. Some contractors disagree, but thicker is better. Keep in mind that we do not make additional profit for laying the asphalt deeper. You pay only for the additional raw material, making a thicker paving job a great value.
Concrete
If properly maintained, a concrete driveway can last for about 30 years and continue to cure and harden. Concrete that’s eight years old is much stronger than concrete that’s two years old, Concrete driveways should be at least 100mm thick to support regular vehicles and at least 125mm thick for heavier trucks.
But concrete requires less maintenance than Tar. Sealing, cracks in the control joints running through the slab will prevent water from seeping underneath. With asphalt you have to recoat it every year or every other year. Concrete requires less maintenance, and it looks nicer.
Clay brick and concrete pavers
Both clay and concrete pavers feature incredible strength. However, some differences exist. Clay pavers feature a deeper, more vibrant color than concrete pavers. Clay pavers sometimes cost twice as much, and unlike concrete pavers, they only come in one shape, he adds.
200m2 Concrete paver driveways sometimes cost up to R175m2, while clay brick driveways can reach R245m2.Both require little to no upkeep, though concrete pavers require sealing every five to seven years, . If the base was properly installed, they should last for decades. Pavers should outlast all asphalt and concrete. It gives you better resale value for your house than asphalt or concrete.
Homeowners also can add decorative elements to concrete and asphalt driveways. One common option involves stamping a pattern into the materials, creating a faux paver, exposing aggregates. But adding a single decorative element can add thousands to the price.
Choosing a type of driveway depends on the homeowner’s needs and tastes.
