The Many Benefits of Asphalt Services

Asphalt is used in a variety of applications due to its incredible strength and versatility. It is the trusted material for roads throughout America as well as driveways, sidewalks and more. The reasons include its:

  • Cost-Effectiveness
    Smooth asphalt roads can be built quicker than other types and also last a long time, making the investment to build them well-worth it.
  • Efficiency
    Because there is less friction between asphalt and tires, there is less fuel wasted by vehicles to combat resistance. This leads to less waste.
  • Quick and Easy Installation
    Asphalt can be paved quickly and only one lane at a time, allowing for less road shutdowns and traffic jams. This can save thousands upon thousands for drivers and the towns themselves.
  • Safety
    The smooth, slip-resistant surface of asphalt has made it a standby for American roads for decades.

    Asphalt is the most recycled product in the entire country! On top of asphalt itself being recyclable, shingles and tires can be reused in asphalt as well.
