Asphalt Concrete is also known as blacktop, or asphalt pavement in Coeur d'Alene, Kootenai County, Spokane and the Northwestern United States.
If you are from Europe you may have known it as Tarmac or Rolled Asphalt. It is a composite material used widely throughout the United States for driveways, parking lots, roads and even sports courts! There are different types of asphalt. |

A driveway and/or sports mix is smoother because it is made with a less coarse aggregate- while a commercial mix is made with larger aggregate and often has a greater asphalt paving thickness. This is why some surfaces are smooth and some are rough.
Which type of asphalt paving is best for you?A smoother surface (sand and small gravel mix) results in less surface strength to guard against heavy traffic- and a rougher surface (larger gravel mix) creates a stronger protection against heavy traffic. It's nice for the kids to be able to ride their skateboard across the driveway or play a little one on one basketball- but it's also nice to have a good tough finish if it's for roads or store parking lots.
