Sealcoating Your Driveway - Tips and Benefits

Posted by J. Mrugacz on Jun 3, 2011

With warmer weather comes maintenance and repairs to parking lots and driveways. Sealcoating your parking lot or driveway is an easy way to extend the life of the asphalt and improve the curb appeal of your property - saving you money in the long run.

A properly installed, quality sealcoat product will protect the asphalt from fuel, oil, weather and traffic wear. If sealcoating is avoided, cracks can start forming in the asphalt, which then leads to potholes.

It's getting to be that time of the year again, time to sealcoat your driveway. After the wear and tear from the winter weather, your driveway needs some attention.

In order to avoid damage like this, a "protective-coating" must be put in place. This is where sealcoating comes into play.
