I am about to remove my old asphalt driveway and replace it. Which will cost me less, concrete or asphalt? The driveway is approximately 75'x8'.

Hands down is concrete. We did this last year and had the new pattern method impressed into the concrete and coloured. It actually looks like brick.

I agree with tickle concrete is definitely the best choice because not only is I t cheaper but it lasts longer and is easier to maintain

Concrete all the way, worth the extra money! When installed by a quality contractor you will be nothing but satisfied!

Be sure to checkout all the different finishing options!

Have you had a contractor look at it, as for as redoing the current, without having to take it out

I believe your question was which will cost less, not which is better. Asphalt is much cheaper but will not last any where near as long as concrete.
