Installing a Driveway That Will Last
There are a variety of different materials to choose from, all with their own list of benefits and limitations, varying costs, and installation complexities. For example, let’s compare concrete and asphalt: concrete is a material that tends to last about 5-10 years longer than asphalt, but at the same time, it’s also less flexible than asphalt and typically costs 45%-50% more. These are some of the factors that you’ll need to consider when deciding which driveway is right for you.
To get started, we encourage you to read our Ultimate Guide to Asphalt Driveways. This guide is intended to provide you with a basic understanding of the driveway installation process and some of the pros and cons associated with using asphalt over another material. It will also serve as a great starting point for anyone planning to design or replace a driveway in the St. Croix County area.
The Best Type of Driveway to Install in St. Croix, WI
If you’re considering installing a new driveway in St. Croix, you’ll definitely want to take the weather into consideration. Weather is one of the biggest factors when it comes to the longevity of your driveway, and choosing the right material for the right climate is crucial.
Since Wisconsin is known for having cold winters with heavy snowfall and ice, you’ll want to choose a material that has been proven to withstand this type of inclement weather. You’ll also want to make sure that you take the proper precautions to prep, clean, and maintain your driveway before and after the winter months.
Needless to say, building a strong driveway is essential if you want to maximize its lifespan and have it last through the cold winter months. For these reasons, we recommend installing an asphalt driveway - just make sure to install your driveway at the right time of year and take the necessary steps to properly maintain it.

Asphalt vs. Concrete Driveways
Caught between two great materials for your driveway? We’re here to help. Our driveway pavers have decades of combined experience and have outlined the pros and cons of asphalt and concrete driveways.
Both of these driveway materials are great choices, but we highly recommend asphalt as the best driveway material for Minnesota and Wisconsin homes. Asphalt is, overall, a more durable material that can handle extreme fluctuations in temperatures. Think 20 degrees and snowing one day and 90 degrees the next - we’ve all been there. Only asphalt will be able to handle those demands.
Asphalt driveway benefits
- 45% - 50% less expensive than concrete
- Flexible material
- Lasts 25 - 30 years
Concrete driveway benefits
- Can be customized
- Better material for heavier use (RV and boat storage)
- Lasts 30 - 40 years
Asphalt Paving Cost & Timeline
Though asphalt costs less than concrete, your overall driveway cost investment will depend on the size and complexity of your project. We’ve completed a variety of non-traditional driveways for homes throughout St. Paul, MN and Western Wisconsin, so we’re uniquely qualified to handle these situations.
Through decades of combined experience, our crew has fine-tuned our driveway replacement process to just three steps:
- Free Cost Estimate Consultation
- Driveway Prep Work

Replacing your driveway will take some time and cost investment to achieve, but doing so can drastically improve the look of your home and add an average of $7,000 in resale value to your home.
