Your driveway gets a lot of use, and over time, it’s going to deteriorate. Constant vehicle traffic, coupled with weather conditions and other environmental factors, can speed up the process. A driveway sealcoat will help extend your pavement’s lifespan and enhance your home’s curb appeal. An asphalt sealcoat helps protect your driveway by preventing moisture, freezing temperatures, ultraviolet light, chemicals, and elements such as road salt from degrading pavement. It also helps restore your driveway’s finish and reduce friction, leading to a smoother, slip-resistant surface. A new asphalt sealcoat is recommended every two to three years, depending on its condition, to the life of your driveway.

All driveways eventually develop cracks over time. The combination of regular use and exposure to the elements takes its toll — especially in colder climates like ours, where the constant freeze and thaw cycle only exacerbates the problem by causing those cracks to expand. Three out of four cracks in asphalt pavement develop into potholes within three years if left untreated. Those can damage your vehicle and create a safety hazard, so it’s best to get ahead of the problem early.

There are products available to help with asphalt crack filling, but these can be cumbersome to use and, if not applied correctly, may only provide a very temporary fix. Unless you’re experienced with pavement repair, it’s best to leave asphalt crack filling to the professionals. That way you can be certain the job will be done correctly and you’ll enjoy long-lasting results.
