Why Sealcoat Your Driveway
PDF Print E-mail
  • Appearance - A black parking lot has a clean, rich look that presents a positive image of the company, facility, or residential complex.
  • Value - An attractive driveway is one of the least expensive ways to increase the resale value of your property.
  • Cleanliness - Sealcoats fill surface voids while coating the pavement surface. The resulting smooth and even texture makes surfaces easier to maintain year-round--sand and dirt is easier to remove from a smooth surface, and sweeping is more effective on a smooth surface.
  • Prolongs Lifespan - Sealcoating sprayed under high pressure penetrates and revitalizes the asphalt surface, retarding the oxidation. Normal deterioration is reduced and the driveway's life span is extended.
  • Reduce Total Cost of Ownership - The price of asphalt concrete will always be affected by crude oil prices, which fluctuate when supplies vary. It's less expensive to sealcoat a parking lot every couple of years using a coal tar or asphalt emulsion than it is to overlay or place a new lot.
  • Superior Protection - Oxidation from the Sun, age, weather, and chemicals produce cracks and openings in an asphalt surface which cause potholes and other asphalt failure. Most of these problems can be easily prevented with proper sealcoating and maintenance.
