I didn’t know they had lower maintenance costs. Is it just the initial installation costs that lead to asphalt being chosen?
Yeah, asphalt has a tendency to crack with every freeze/thaw cycle, whereas bricks and pavers have spaces that allow for some shifting without breaking. So repair frequency is higher with asphalt to start with, but the cost to repair also involves more equipment. Fixing cracked bricks just means taking out the broken one and putting in a new one.
