Driveway Sealcoating questions, answered by experts

Maintaining a driveway depends on its material. For concrete and asphalt, it's best to clean the surface thoroughly twice a year with a stiff broom and a pressure washer to remove accumulated dirt and debris. Sealing the driveway is crucial to protect it from water damage and freeze-thaw cycles. Before applying a sealant, pressure wash the surface to remove any loose sealant, dirt, or stains, as sealing over them will trap them. Any cracks or expansion joints should be filled with a flexible polyurethane caulk or asphalt sealer. In colder climates, use sand instead of salt for de-icing. Sand helps melt snow and ice without accelerating the freeze-thaw process, which can cause cracks.

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’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’s time to reseal.

To extend the lifespan of an asphalt surface, sealcoat it every 2-3 years, repair cracks promptly, and clean it regularly to remove debris.

The best time to seal a driveway is during periods of mild, dry weather, typically from late spring through early fall. For the sealant to bond and cure properly, it needs warm conditions. Avoid sealing in the winter when temperatures are too low.

For optimal results, follow these guidelines:

  • Temperature: Apply sealant when air and surface temperatures are consistently above a minimum of 50-55°F. The ideal range is often between 60°F and 80°F. Avoid applying sealer in extreme heat (above 90-95°F), as it can cause the sealant to dry too quickly and improperly.

  • Weather: Choose a time with no rain in the forecast for at least 24 to 48 hours after application. Rain can wash away the sealant before it has fully cured.

  • Timing and Cost: While spring and fall offer ideal temperatures, they are also the busiest seasons for driveway sealing companies, which may lead to higher costs due to increased demand. The best specific month will depend on your local climate.

A good asphalt maintenance schedule covers all the pitfalls that can happen to your asphalt. Just how often you should maintain your pavement will depend on the type of maintenance. Resealing your asphalt driveway should be done every three to five years. Cleaning is more of an annual task while repairing cracks and potholes comes in on an as-needed basis.
