Froio’s Lawn and Landscape Services: Driveway Sealing

Driveway sealing seals the top of your driveway's asphalt, preventing oil and water from seeping within the pavement's surface. Three months after installation, you should get your driveway's asphalt sealed, and then regularly every 2 to 3 years (depending on the climate and location) to prevent cracking and damage. Driveway sealing is a process by which a sealcoat is applied to protect the top layer of your driveway from the elements, as well as gradual wear and tear caused by oxidation due to exposure to air, water, and the sun. You'll also find that your driveway will take on a smoother, more even black surface, perfect for painting and easy to sweep clean after it's been sealed.

Why get your driveway sealed? Over time, oxidation can cause your driveway to become hard, dry, and brittle, leading to the gradual erosion of the top layer of asphalt. Over time, this eroded top layer will crack, and larger stones will break away. Prevent moisture, sunlight, air, and extreme temperatures from taking a toll on your new driveway. Learn more about driveway sealing and how it can shield your asphalt from the drying action of the sun, and the damage caused by water, gasoline, and oil. Even if your driveway is eroding, a driveway sealing can restore its rich, black new look.
