Is It Time to Sealcoat My Driveway?

Sealcoating is a cost-effective way of boosting your driveway’s beauty while protecting it from oxidation, oil, water, and chemical intrusion, at the same time preventing any form of damage.

So, how do you know it’s time for seal coating? Let’s find out:

Ideally, a seal coating can last for an average of 2-3 years.

However, determining when the driveway was last sealed, especially if you’re not the original owner and you’ve purchased the home recently, can prove to be complicated.

You can easily tell when it’s time to seal coat your asphalt driveway if you know where and what to look for. The common indications to look out for include:

  • Fine spidering-like cracks are appearing on the surface
  • The dark blacktop has faded to a dull, gray coloring
  • Water is not beading and rolling away
  • Grass and weeds are breaking through the blacktop surface, especially at the edges of the driveway

If you notice any of these signs, it’s time to start budgeting for a new seal coating job. Ignoring these signs leaves your driveway vulnerable to damage, so act fast.
