Question: Which driveway materials allow the option of snow-melting systems?
Not all driveway materials are created equal when it comes to compatibility with snow-melting systems....
Answer:

Let's face it: in the North, snow removal is your biggest driveway maintenance concern. But you can eliminate the need to remove snow from driveways manually by installing the technology known as "snow-melting systems." For a snow-melting system to be installed, the driveway material must be made of asphalt or concrete. For more on so-called "heated driveways," please consult my FAQ on snow-melting systems.
