Cost of asphalt vs concrete driveway comparisons help McLean Asphalt customers choose the right material. Free on-site estimates, licensed and insured.
Asphalt costs less upfront and cures faster, ready for traffic in 24–48 hours. Concrete costs more and takes about a week to fully cure.
Asphalt also performs better through Northern Virginia's freeze-thaw winters — it flexes slightly rather than cracking the way rigid concrete can, a cold-climate advantage the National Asphalt Pavement Association highlights in its material research.

If your existing driveway is concrete and you're ready for a change, you may not need to remove it first. Asphalt can often be paved directly over a sound concrete slab.
See our Asphalt Over Concrete Driveway page to learn how that works.
