Asphalt Driveways

The lifespan of an asphalt driveway depends on several factors, including traffic volume, weather conditions, and maintenance practices. With proper care, our asphalt driveway contractors can install driveways that last 15 to 20 years or even longer in some cases.

Quality of installation is another big determining factor in the lifespan of your driveway; you can count on the Pro Magma team to deliver quality craftsmanship every time.

Beyond quality installation, conducting the proper maintenance is essential to ensuring the longevity of your driveway, keeping it looking good and functioning properly for longer.

Maintenance is key to prolonging your driveway’s lifespan. Regular maintenance should include:

• Sealcoating: Apply a sealant every 2-3 years to help protect the asphalt from moisture and the NZ sun’s harsh UV rays.
• Pothole repair: Addressing potholes promptly will prevent further damage from occurring.
• Crack sealing: Seal any cracks that pop up to prevent them from spreading and becoming more significant issues.
• Cleaning: Remove debris and oil stains to maintain your driveway’s appearance.

If your driveway requires significant maintenance like pothole repair or crack sealing, talk to our team to see how we can assist with repairs.

Asphalt and concrete are both popular choices for driveways. However, they each have distinct characteristics.

Asphalt:

• More flexible and resistant to cracking.
• Generally more affordable initial costs.
• Can be resurfaced to extend its lifespan.
• Higher maintenance.

Concrete:

• Higher durability and stain resistance.
• Higher initial costs.
• More difficult to repair.
• Lower maintenance.

While each has its advantages, our driveways are a top choice, especially for budget-conscious homeowners looking for affordable solutions that don’t sacrifice quality.
