Is it better to resurface or replace an asphalt driveway?

• <div><p>Whether you should resurface or replace your asphalt driveway heavily depends on its condition. If the foundation is solid and the damage is minor, resurfacing is your best bet because it’s more affordable and faster than replacing the driveway. But if your driveway has foundational problems and/or severe damage, like large, deep cracks and potholes, then it makes more sense to replace it. </p></div>

Q: Are blacktop and asphalt the same thing?

• <div><p>Asphalt is not the same thing as blacktop. Blacktop is a type of asphalt, but contains less bitumen, making it less durable than asphalt. Asphalt is a better option for major highways, streets, and driveways, while blacktop is more suitable to playgrounds. </p></div>

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?
