Much of this depends on your taste and budget. However, we will always make recommendations based on the area to be re-surfaced. As a rough guide, your selections can be the following:

Driveways:

Asphalt, Concrete, brick, paving stone, marble stone

Patios, Walkways, Pool decks, Sidewalks:

Paving stone, concrete, marble stone, flag stone

Pavers are three times more expensive than asphalt. The reason for this is the cost of materials and the labor involved.

Concrete is about 15% less than pavers.

Asphalt can last 20(+) years with proper maintenance. We will recommend steps that can be done to help prolong the life of the asphalt.

Overall they are more versatile and durable. They are less likely to show wear and tear over time, not prone to cracking, and they are easier and cheaper to repair in the event of damage. The variety of colors and designs is also an advantage.
