Should I seal my driveway or replace it?

• <div><p>If you notice minor cosmetic problems with your driveway, you should seal it. Look out for cracks and holes on the surface, faded asphalt or concrete, and stains from oil and other chemicals. Replacing your driveway may be necessary if you’re dealing with significant problems—¼-inch cracks, large potholes, and puddles from drainage issues. The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-install-asphalt-driveway.htm">cost to install an asphalt driveway</a> typically ranges between <b>$4,200</b> and <b>$9,000</b>, significantly more than resealing. Consider talking to a professional to discuss whether resurfacing your driveway—a midway project between resealing and replacing—is a better option for you.</p></div>

How much does asphalt cost?

• <div><p>An <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-install-asphalt-driveway.htm">asphalt driveway costs</a> between <b>$3,150 and $7,400</b>, depending on the size of the driveway and the depth of the asphalt. Expect to pay between <b>$2 and $6 per square foot </b>for materials and <b>$5 to $7 per square foot</b> for labor. Although installing asphalt yourself will save you on labor costs, it might ultimately cost you more when you make a mistake.</p></div>

Q: What is asphalt made of?

• <div><p>Asphalt is made of aggregate materials (sand, rocks, and gravel) and bitumen, a viscous, petroleum-based, waterproof substance. These materials are mixed together at extremely high temperatures to form asphalt.</p></div>

Q: What is the best time of year to seal a driveway?

• <div><p>Plan to seal your driveway between late spring (after the rains have slowed) and early fall, or when temperatures are 55 degrees Fahrenheit or higher. A warmer environment helps the sealant bond with the driveway. To ensure your driveway cures correctly, you should make sure no rain is in the forecast for at least 48 hours after sealing.</p></div>

Q: Can I use the same sealant on asphalt and concrete driveways?

• <div><p>No. You cannot use asphalt products on concrete driveways. To <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-products-should-i-use-seal-my-concrete-driveway.htm">seal a concrete driveway</a>, use acrylic, epoxy, polyurethane, silane, siloxane, and silicate sealers or deep penetration sealers made specifically for concrete. Meanwhile, asphalt sealers contain refined coal tar (asphalt emulsion), water, sand, clay, polymers, and additives and are incompatible with concrete&rsquo;s surface texture and higher density. </p></div>
