Can you DIY chip seal?

• <div><p>Driveway installation is challenging. While chip seal might sound easier to apply than asphalt, the process still involves heavy machinery and professional skills. Unless you come from a construction background, we recommend hiring <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/asphalt-companies/">an asphalt company</a> to chip seal your new driveway. If you are paving the driveway entirely with chip seal, expect to pay <b>$5 to $10 per square foot</b>.</p></div>

Q: What are the disadvantages of chip sealing?

• <div><p>Chip seal lasts only 5 to 8 years on average. This lifespan is significantly shorter than asphalt. It is also less durable. Therefore, chip seal driveway only works if the traffic volume is extremely low. Chip seal is also less resistant to storms and hails. As impact builds up, the chips may become misplaced, creating an uneven driving surface that sometimes becomes hazardous and may damage your tires or cause your vehicle to lose balance.</p></div>

Q: Should I seal asphalt before it’s fully cured?

• <div><p>Yes, you can seal asphalt before it&rsquo;s fully cured but you should wait to do so until at least three months after installing it. Otherwise, the seal coat can trap the asphalt&rsquo;s oils and chemicals, preventing it from fully hardening. This can lead to a weaker surface that&rsquo;s vulnerable to damage. But if you wait at least three months, applying a seal coat can extend its life by protecting it from water, UV rays, and other damaging elements.</p></div>

Q: How much does driveway sealcoating cost?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-seal-asphalt-driveway.htm">Driveway sealcoating costs</a> around <b>$500</b> on average, or between <b>$1.25 and $1.50 per square foot</b> for materials and labor. Most homeowners pay between <b>$250 and $800</b> for this service. Your project price will depend mostly on the size of your driveway, the type of sealant, how much pressure washing or treatment is required before sealing, and the number of coats of sealant applied to your driveway. Most sealants come in 5-gallon or 55-gallon units, with up to 500 square feet of coverage per 4 gallons.</p></div>

Q: How often should an asphalt driveway be seal coated? At what cost?

• <div><p>To maintain your asphalt driveway, add a new coat of sealant every <b>three to five years</b>. Pricing varies, but you will pay about $0.08 to $0.50 per square foot from start to finish. You can also choose to add a fill-and-seal layer that includes a layer of aggregate to fortify a damaged top layer of asphalt.</p></div>

Very prompt & professional response. We had one of our bradford pear trees split and block our driveway and part of the street. I called Mr Dail late Tuesday Evening and he and his crew were at our house at 7:00 the next morning. The tree was gone before we got up to go to work.
