Should I seal fresh asphalt?

• <div><p>We don’t recommend sealing brand-new asphalt; instead, wait for at least three months so that the asphalt has some time to cure. If it’s applied too soon, the seal coat can trap oils and chemicals in the asphalt, preventing it from fully curing and leading to a weaker surface that’s susceptible to damage. </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: Should I seal fresh asphalt?

• <div><p>We don&rsquo;t recommend sealing brand-new asphalt; instead, wait for at least three months so that the asphalt has some time to cure.

Q: How do professionals enhance the appearance of asphalt surfaces?

• <div><p>Professionals restore the surface to a fresh, attractive finish by applying a new, even sealant layer.</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: Do asphalt driveways crack?

• <div><p>Like all driveway materials, asphalt can crack in the wrong conditions and with age. Many things can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-causes-concrete-and-asphalt-driveway-cracks.htm">cause asphalt to crack,</a> including shifting soil or settling under the foundation. Other common causes are driving oversized vehicles on the asphalt, tree roots, and using rock salt during the snowy season. Proper installation and sealing the driveway every 10 years can help prevent cracks.</p></div>

This company installed a fence for our next door neighbor. During the install, we observed the company, via our exterior cameras, using our property for a work area despite the fact we did not authorize them on our property. They piled materials on our driveway and left dirt and concrete...
