Seal Your Investment!

We walk on it. We drive on it. We park on it. Do you consider your driveway to be an important investment? It is and it requires regular maintenance and care, especially if it is subjected to harmful conditions (harsh winter weather, de-icing salts, oil/gas leaks). Consider applying a sealer to preserve and protect your investment. Most of us put off sealing driveways until the fall, but the spring is an ideal time to do it. The outside temperature needs to be at least 55 degrees and no rain is expected within 36 hours. Once your driveway is coated with a sealer, stains are easier to clean and cracks caused by severe weather are less likely to occur.

Step 1: Clean the Driveway
Use dishwasher detergent and water to remove gas and oil stains. Dirt, weeds and rocks must be extracted from all cracks. The use of a pressure-washer is your best option to thoroughly clean your driveway. Allow the surface adequate time to dry.

Step 2: Repair Cracks
Cracks in your driveway and the products to fill those cracks come in all shapes and sizes. To repair smaller cracks, you can use filler that comes in a can or a dispenser similar to a caulking gun. Larger cracks could require a cold patch material packed tightly into the hole. Allow filler materials adequate time to dry.

Step 3: Apply Sealer
Stir the sealer thoroughly, then pour, brush or spray the protective coating on the driveway. Keep in mind that some sealer manufacturers recommend a light misting of water on the surface as the sealer is applied. Use a push broom, brush, roller or squeegee to spread the sealer. Allow the sealer 24 hours to dry. For best results, you should apply at least two coats of sealer every two to three years.
