Asphalt Driveway Sealing Process

What to Expect

Our comprehensive asphalt driveway sealing process ensures longevity and a pristine finish. Here's what our service entails:

  1. Surface Preparation

  • Grass , weeds, and vegetation encroaching on the driveway edges are cut and trimmed back for a neat appearance.

  • We begin by thoroughly cleaning the driveway to remove dirt, debris, and any any organic matter. We use steel bristle brushes, commercial brooms and high velocity blowers to prepare the service. This ensures proper adhesion of the new sealant.

2. Crack Filling (if applicable)

  • We inspect the driveway for cracks and assess their severity including depth, width and cleanliness.

  • Cracks are filled with a high-quality, rubberized crack filler to prevent water infiltration and further damage.

3. Sealant Application

  • Any and all concrete, stone, or decorative landscaping is meticulously protected using painters tape and other methods. We use high precision sprayers for sniper like accuracy during application.

  • We use a high-pressure precision sprayer to evenly coat your entire driveway with high-quality tar-based sealant. We use a cross hatching method to ensure an even and thick coat for maximum penetration and longevity.

  • We conduct a final inspection of our work and then fasten caution tape across the end of the driveway to ensure nobody drives or walks on it.

FAQs

  • It's recommended to seal your asphalt driveway every 2 years to maintain its appearance and extend its lifespan. If your driveway is very grey and/or brittle then it is recommended to do back to back years to build up the tar content in your driveway, enhancing its elasticity and durability.

  • The entire cleaning, prepping and sealing process typically takes 1-2 hours, depending on the size of the driveway. However, it's advisable to avoid using the driveway for at least 12-24 hours to allow the sealant to cure properly.

  • Yes, we fill minor cracks that are generally a pen-width wide or less and various lengths. This process is included in our Sealing + Crack filling service. We use a cool-poured crack filler for residential jobs. For larger cracks or potholes, additional repair services may be necessary such as cold patch asphalt or our commercial hot rubber crack filling product.
