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: How often do you need to seal a driveway?

• <div><p>You should plan on sealing your driveway about <b>once every five years</b>, although you should plan to do it once every three years if your area experiences frequent rain or snow. Sealing your driveway protects it from moisture, UV rays, and chemicals from your car, like motor oil and antifreeze. If you find that your <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tips-driveway-stain-removal.htm">driveway stains</a> easily or appears to be cracking or fading, you may want to schedule a sealing service regardless of when you last sealed it.</p></div>

Q: How long does asphalt sealing take?

• <div><p>Most sealing projects take 1-2 days, including drying time before allowing traffic.</p></div>

Q: How long does driveway crack filler last?

• <div><p>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 <b>$10 to $30</b>) and easy to DIY, so redoing it every few years shouldn&rsquo;t be too much of a hassle. </p></div>

Q: Should I power wash my driveway before sealing it?

• <div><p>You should always power wash your driveway before applying a sealant. At any given time, your driveway could be covered with algae and moss, tire residue, oil and rust stains, and any combination of leaves, twigs, and dirt. If you skip power washing, you&rsquo;ll be trapping the dirt and grime beneath the sealant and lowering its chance of cementing itself to your driveway. While you can expect the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cost-to-pressure-wash-driveway.htm">cost to pressure wash your driveway</a> to average between <b>$100</b> and <b>$350</b>, the few hundred dollars beats an unattractive driveway or paying extra to reapply your driveway sealer.</p></div>

Called up Nick from A1 to come and pressure wash the driveway after a long winter of abuse. Couldnâ t believe how great it turned out. Will be calling for all pressure washing needs.

Antonio and his crew are wonderful to work with. They redid our driveway retaining walls with a beautiful stacked natural fieldstone. Communication of the scope and budget was very clear and there were no surprises. The workmanship is top notch. I highly recommend Bolani Masonry.
