Lifetime Value
Concrete vs. Asphalt
Asphalt is soft and needs yearly sealing to survive Wisconsin winters. A Trinity concrete driveway is a rigid, structural pavement that holds its surface integrity against plows and heavy salt for 30+ years with minimal maintenance. The 30-year total cost of ownership runs roughly 40% lower than asphalt after factoring in repairs and sealcoating.
| Factor | Concrete (Trinity) | Asphalt |
|---|---|---|
| Typical Lifespan | 30–40 years | 15–20 years |
| Upfront Cost / SF | $6–$10 installed | $3–$5 installed |
| 30-Year Total Cost | Lower (minimal upkeep) | Higher (sealing + repairs) |
| Freeze-Thaw Tolerance | Air-entrained, rigid slab | Cracks, softens, rutting |
| Salt & Plow Tolerance | Handles calcium chloride | Softens under hot sun, scars under plow |
| Sealing Interval | Silane every 2–3 years (optional) | Sealcoat every 1–2 years (required) |
| Repair Method | Section-replace individual panels | Patch + overlay |
