Concrete Sidewalk Vs. Asphalt Sidewalk
The two options most homeowners choose from are either concrete or asphalt and there are pros and cons to each.  Concrete is composed of cement, water, sand, and aggregate so it is longer lasting and requires less maintenance.  Asphalt on the other hand is less durable but more affordable so it is often the material of choice for pedestrian walkways and sidewalks.

• Advantages of a concrete sidewalk when it comes to commercial construction such as shopping centers, corporate buildings, medical buildings, walkways are built almost exclusively with concrete for these reasons –
• Can last 40 years or more
• Dries quickly, usually in 30 minutes. Then a broom finish is applied to the surface to prevent slip and falls. Curb ramps have exacting engineering requirements with slopes and varying grades, so concrete is the preferred material.
• Ease of maintenance.
• ADA ramps, stairs, and elevation changes can all be formed perfectly in concrete.

Disadvantages of concrete sidewalks:

• Initial cost will be higher than asphalt.
• Repairs will cost more, but less often.
• The cost of using a non-salt based deicer in winter, as salt should not be used on concrete.

Advantages Of An Asphalt Sidewalk

• Cheaper to maintain
• Lower in cost
• Flexible

Disadvantages Of An Asphalt Sidewalk

• Shorter lifespan
• More difficult for shorter and tighter runs because it must be compacted.
• Due to the required compaction, corners and curb ramps made of asphalt are not as precise as those made of concrete.
• Requires regular maintenance
