I'm planning to upgrade my driveway and considering two options: a full asphalt driveway or a bitumen spray seal. I’ve heard that asphalt lasts longer but costs more, while bitumen is a budget-friendly alternative that still offers durability.

For those who have experience with either, what are the pros and cons? Does bitumen spray seal hold up well in high-traffic areas, or is asphalt paving the better long-term choice?
