Asphalt vs Concrete for Ramp or Platform Installation

Costs to consider when getting ready to install a ramp or platform on your property or leased property would be to ensure that the area that you will be placing the yard ramp or platform. 



Concrete

Compared to asphalt, concrete offers a more stable, strong base that can support larger loads. All that would be needed are the concrete pads at the safety legs and the entire ramp’s beginning, as seen in the pictures.
