Cleaning, minor crack filling and an oil-based sealer that restores a deep, even black finish on residential asphalt.
What this service includes
- Sweeping and edge trimming along the asphalt
- Spot cleaning of oil and grease areas
- Minor crack filling on suitable cracks
- Oil-based sealer applied to the driveway surface
- Clean cut edges along walkways and garage aprons
- Access left blocked until the surface is ready
Common project types
- Single-car driveway
- Two-car and widened driveways
- Driveways that have never been sealed
- Older asphalt that has faded to grey
- Driveways being prepared before a sale
Surface preparation
- Vehicles moved off the driveway before the visit
- Surface swept clear of dirt, sand and loose material
- Grass and weeds trimmed back along the edges
- Oil spots treated so the sealer can bond
- Suitable cracks filled before sealing
- Dry weather confirmed before application
Options available
Crack filling
Narrow to moderate cracks can be filled before sealing. Badly broken or heaving asphalt needs repair or replacement rather than sealer.
Coverage
Coverage is discussed based on the age and porosity of the asphalt, since older surfaces absorb more product.
Timing
Sealing is scheduled around dry, mild weather for the best result.
Frequently asked questions
- How long does the driveway need to stay clear?
- Drying depends on temperature, humidity and sun. We give you a specific window for foot traffic and vehicles before we start.
- Can you seal a concrete or interlock driveway?
- This service covers asphalt. Concrete and interlock need different products, so contact us and we will let you know what is possible.
- What about large cracks and potholes?
- Minor cracks can be filled as part of the work. Severely damaged asphalt needs repair first, and sealer alone will not correct it.
