Well I think it is time to repave my driveway. I also plan to expand it slightly so it could fit two cars side by side.
It is currently asphalt that has several large holes in it and is sinking in spots. I'm thinking I should have it all ripped up and replaced.
Generally asphalt has been cheaper and if taken care of will last quite a while, I have not gotten price quotes yet but I have heard that due to the oil prices that asphalt is not such a deal anymore and that concrete is getting very competative. Also concrete is less maintenance and can be driven on sooner, cleaner (won't track in black crap) etc.
What experiences have you all had with the differing surfaces? Should I get concrete and have it stained as well?
