Understanding the Pros and Cons of Pavement Options?
Poured Concrete Driveways
Risk:
• Cracking is inevitable in Ontario’s freeze-thaw cycles
• Repairs are often visible and patchy
• Stains and surface damage (e.g. salt scaling) are common
• Difficult and expensive to rework if layout or grading needs change
Reward:
• Clean, uniform appearance at first install
• Moderate upfront cost
• Suitable for tight budgets or builder-grade developments
Verdict:
While poured concrete can offer a clean look initially, it lacks flexibility and durability in our climate. Once it cracks or fails, replacement is often the only option.
Asphalt Driveways
Risk:
• Shorter lifespan (10–15 years)
• Fades, cracks, and deteriorates without frequent sealing
• Offers little design value or curb appeal
• Heats up in summer and may become soft under heavy vehicles
Reward:
• Lowest upfront cost
• Fast construction
• Can be re-coated to extend service life
Verdict:
Asphalt works for quick fixes or temporary driveways, but it often ends up as a stopgap — not a lasting solution for residential properties seeking visual and structural value.
Segmental Concrete Pavers (Interlocking)
Reward:
• Flexible design with endless patterns and colours
• Built-in resistance to cracking thanks to jointed system
• Easy access for future repairs, drainage, or utilities
• Adds curb appeal and resale value
• Long lifespan with proper base construction
Risk:
• Higher upfront cost than asphalt or poured concrete
• Requires skilled construction to ensure proper grading and compaction
Verdict:
Segmental pavers offer unmatched durability and flexibility, especially for homeowners investing in long-term property value. As driveways settle and shift over time, interlock can adapt — and individual stones can be lifted and reinstalled as needed. This makes interlocking driveways the smartest long-term investment for residential landscape construction.
