People say that asphalt is hot to walk on in bare feet. That’s true, as is concrete or just about any hard surface that is exposed to lengthy periods of hot sun. Common sense says that anything hot that comes into contact with bare skin is likely to cause some pain, so our advice is always to keep footwear on when walking on summer-beaten asphalt. Wear some thongs, enjoy the sunshine and keep your feet covered!

Unlike concrete, laying asphalt does not require boxed forms. This means that asphalt can be curved and arched – a process not easily achieved with concrete which needs formwork to contain it while it sets. If you need a more precise edge to your asphalt, you can use asphalt edging which is a hard durable, 90 degree material similar to garden edging. Budget Asphalt can supply and install treated timber edging which is 75mm x 38mm. It can be installed to suit just about any curve and corner. Installed prior to the asphalt laying, asphalt edging will provide a natural barrier to adjacent landscape gardening or retaining walls while making the edges crisper, leading to less maintenance. Talk to Budget Asphalt about asphalt edging for a more defined look.
