Do you need to seal a driveway after pressure washing?

• <div><p>You don't technically need to seal your driveway after pressure washing, but doing so will help keep your driveway clean for longer. The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-products-should-i-use-seal-my-concrete-driveway.htm">best driveway sealer</a> depends on the type of driveway you have. To seal asphalt, consider an asphalt emulsion sealer, fast-drying sealer, or latex acrylic sealer. Concrete driveways commonly use acrylic sealers or penetrating sealers. </p></div>

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>

What type of maintenance does an asphalt parking lot require compared to the other types?

• <div><p>To maintain their strength, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-install-asphalt-driveway.htm">asphalt driveways and parking lots</a> need to be sealcoated once every two to five years. You may also need to reapply paint striping every few years as it fades to ensure drivers can safely navigate the parking lot.</p></div>

Q: How do I maintain asphalt surfaces?

• <div><p>Seal every 2-3 years, clean debris, and repair cracks promptly to extend lifespan.</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>
