Once all the potholes and cracks in your driveway have been filled, we recommend following up with asphalt sealcoating. Driveway sealcoating protects your pavement from UV rays, rain, snow, sleet and automobile fluids. Your blacktop driveway will last much longer with a coat of asphalt sealer. Not only does the sealer protect your pavement from the elements, but it also prevents future cracks and potholes.
With proper installation and maintenance, your blacktop driveway may last up to 15 years. Keep in mind that freeze-thaw cycles, improper water drainage and heavy traffic can reduce your driveway’s lifespan.
Costs will vary depending on several factors such as the size of your driveway, whether it is asphalt overlaying or a completely new driveway and what extras may be chosen to finish and decorate the driveway.

Oil, gasoline and brake fluids act like a solvent and can cause the asphalt to soften and break down the binder.
Sealcoating is a layer of coal tar emulsion applied to asphalt pavement. This layer helps to protect against weathering and ultraviolet oxidation while providing a uniform black appearance on the asphalt driveway. Sealcoating should be applied every one to three years depending on how heavily trafficked the area is.
