Asphalt vs. Concrete: Choosing the Right Driveway for Your Home

A driveway isn’t just a practical feature—it’s the first impression your home makes. At Royalty Custom Homes, we offer two popular driveway options: asphalt and concrete, each with unique benefits depending on your priorities for cost, appearance, and long-term maintenance.

Most of our home packages include an asphalt driveway, a reliable and budget-friendly choice that delivers a smooth finish and fast installation. Asphalt is also easier to repair and can be resealed every few years to maintain its look and performance.

If you’re looking for something with enhanced durability and a more customized appearance, concrete driveways offer a premium upgrade. Concrete is resistant to weathering, holds up well over time, and can be finished with a variety of textures, patterns, or colors to complement your home’s exterior.

Here’s a quick breakdown of the two options:

Asphalt Driveway – Included in Most Packages

• More affordable

• Quicker installation

• Smooth finish

• Easy to repair

• Requires resealing every few years

• May soften in extreme heat

Concrete Driveway – Premium Upgrade

We’re happy to walk you through the pros and cons so you can select the best fit for your home and lifestyle.
