What is the difference between asphalt and concrete paving for commercial projects?

Asphalt paving consists of a mixture of aggregates and bitumen, offering flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and ease of repair.

The choice between the two depends on factors such as budget, aesthetic preferences, and expected traffic loads.
