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>

How Long Does It Take Asphalt to Cure?

• <div><p>Unlike drying, which takes between 48 and 72 hours on average, asphalt driveway cure times are different and take much longer. Your asphalt driveway won’t actually cure for around six months to one year. During this time, it’s more likely to get damaged or weakened by heavy machinery, vehicles, and high temperatures. </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: Do installations include sealing?

• <div><p>Yes, sealing is included to prevent staining and moisture absorption, depending on the stone type.</p></div>

Q: How do I maintain my asphalt driveway?

• <div><p>Regular maintenance will help you avoid costly repairs and early replacement. Clean the driveway surface with a stiff brush and water at least twice yearly, and remove any weeds that try to take root. Additionally, every two to five years, apply a sealcoat&mdash;this protects the driveway against damaging UV rays and keeps it looking like new. </p></div>

Tommy Falco's business, Susquehanna Sealcoating, came highly recommended by a friend. We called for an estimate, and he showed up the same day to take a look at our driveway. He gave us a price below what we expected, and made an appointment to show up the next week. He and his crew were there...

Did a terrific job as always. Edged everything nicely. They initially couldn't reach me on our old landline (eliminated it) so they stopped by the house early one morning to verify that we still wanted the service. Then they did the job right then and there - Nice job Walls!

I was not satisfied with how they did it and complained, but they did come out and make it right. The first seal had cracks in the driveway and they didn't do a top seal coating. They just sprayed some of the sealant into the cracks and didn't do the sealing correctly a couple of times. They...
