Driveway Sealing

Driveway sealing could provide a long list of benefits that many people are not aware of. The first thing that you’re going to notice is that once the procedure is done, the look and feel of the surface will be much improved. This coating is also going to help compact the surface, adding some more years of service to the current layer of asphalt. One of the things that many folks overlook about the procedure is that the driveway doesn’t have to be falling apart for sealing to be a viable option. In fact, many times it’s a preventive measure, in others it can complement deeper repairs.

Is My Driveway Ready for Sealing? 

This is a question that a lot of people ask themselves when they want to get the most out of the procedure. The idea revolves around this sense that you’re taking active years off the surface if you seal it too quickly. That’s just not the case. If you want to give your driveway a bit of a facelift, sealing is going to be the way to go, even if the surface isn’t as worn down. In fact, it could help protect the original surface that wasn’t as worn down, which could add years to the original layout.

Will The Driveway Look “Newer” If It’s Sealed?

The short answer is yes. Most of the driveways that get sealed tend to look “newer.” Again, that goes back to the fact that you’re adding a layer that, a lot of times, makes the surface smoother and gives it a bit of color. There is usually a “facelift” of the surface, if you will. Of course, the benefits are two-fold. You’re adding a layer that’s going to help the original surface not have direct damage. Then you have the benefit of it looking better. It’s a win-win.

How Often Is Driveway Sealing Necessary?

This is not something that’s “mandatory” or necessary. However, two to five years is usually the range that people like to take into account. It depends on the usage rate that the area gets. Some driveways are going to look as good as new after two years, so you can hold off on those. In other situations, it looks like they’ve been through a lot over that two-year span. Again, it’s not a bad idea to seal these surfaces often, especially if you want to guarantee that the surface looks fresh.
