Q: What is the most eco-friendly driveway sealer?

• <div><p>In general, water-based driveway sealers are considered the most eco-friendly option. Products that utilize water, limestone, and some basic binding agents have lower VOC levels and odor levels compared to sealants made with oil or tar. In recent years, soy-based driveway sealers have become available for homeowners who want fully VOC-free driveway sealers.</p></div>

Q: Should I seal asphalt before it’s fully cured?

• <div><p>Yes, you can seal asphalt before it&rsquo;s fully cured but you should wait to do so until at least three months after installing it. Otherwise, the seal coat can trap the asphalt&rsquo;s oils and chemicals, preventing it from fully hardening. This can lead to a weaker surface that&rsquo;s vulnerable to damage. But if you wait at least three months, applying a seal coat can extend its life by protecting it from water, UV rays, and other damaging elements.</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>

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: How do you know if your driveway needs to be sealed?

• <div><p>A good rule for all homeowners is to seal every driveway to protect it. Wait at least three months to seal an asphalt driveway and one month to seal a concrete driveway. You know it&rsquo;s time to reseal your driveway when it shows obvious signs of wear and tear. It may appear as fading or discolored asphalt, small cracks, and oil stains. If you notice that one area of your driveway seems to dry slower than others, it&rsquo;s time to reseal.</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.
