Dimis thanks mate. It was a loooong time coming.

What makes you say that about longevity? Essentially both require the same road base prep. The asphalt certainly is smoother and easier to roller skate on!!! And the bitumen is a pain with all the loose rocks etc but I'd have thought for a driveway they both should last about the same?? Water and tree roots being the more obvious issues thatnactual car use for wear and tear.

I know from experience in the past Asphalt is more expensive to repair as you have to cut out the section whereas bitumen is a little less intense..

I guess whatever way I go they all have strengths and weaknesses but for bang vs buck bitumen seems OK...
