Sealing Asphalt Driveways
How Often Should An Asphalt Driveway Be Sealed?
Generally speaking sealing asphalt driveway every 3 to 5 years is normal. But there are several factors that can vary that approximation.
Is it a spray application, or a squeegee application? How many coats are being applied?
Is it a quality product?
How detailed was the preparation or cleaning of the asphalt done prior to applying the sealer?
How much traffic is there on your driveway?
How much exposure to the sun does the driveway have?
These are just some of the factors that can determine the life of a good sealcoat job. Be careful however, not to seal the driveway too frequently as that can cause more damage than good.
