Driveway Sealcoating questions, answered by experts

The best time to seal a driveway is during periods of mild, dry weather, typically from late spring through early fall. For the sealant to bond and cure properly, it needs warm conditions. Avoid sealing in the winter when temperatures are too low.

For optimal results, follow these guidelines:

  • Temperature: Apply sealant when air and surface temperatures are consistently above a minimum of 50-55°F. The ideal range is often between 60°F and 80°F. Avoid applying sealer in extreme heat (above 90-95°F), as it can cause the sealant to dry too quickly and improperly.

  • Weather: Choose a time with no rain in the forecast for at least 24 to 48 hours after application. Rain can wash away the sealant before it has fully cured.

  • Timing and Cost: While spring and fall offer ideal temperatures, they are also the busiest seasons for driveway sealing companies, which may lead to higher costs due to increased demand. The best specific month will depend on your local climate.

Though they may look similar, tar and bitumen come from different sources. Bitumen is a petroleum product—extracted during crude oil refining—and is mostly made up of hydrocarbons. Tar comes from burning down organic materials like coal or wood. Bitumen is strictly oil-based, while tar is a mix of compounds from natural sources. Both are used as binders in paving; however, bitumen is the standard for today’s asphalt. Tar use has mostly faded out of road construction.

In general, crack fillers last for about two years on average. That timeline can be shorter if you have extremely harsh winters or longer if you live in a mild climate. Luckily, this product is pretty affordable at the hardware store (about $10 to $30) and easy to DIY, so redoing it every few years shouldn’t be too much of a hassle.

Hot-pour sealants have an asphalt cement base that might also include rubber and other materials to allow the seal to flex in hot or cold temperatures. Asphalt emulsion sealants are not heated but are liquid applications that use water and an emulsifying agent to allow the asphalt and water to mix.

To maintain your asphalt driveway, add a new coat of sealant every three to five years. 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.
