How Often Should You Seal Your Driveway?

Sealing your driveway can help you protect your vehicles and lengthen the life of your driveway. How often you seal your driveway depends on several factors like whether it is asphalt or concrete, or if you plan on hiring professional asphalt companies to repair or want to do-it-yourself.

Concrete vs. Asphalt

One of the key factors in how often you need to seal your driveway depends on the materials and your geographic location. For example, if you live in a harsher weather environment, damage after a difficult winter may require hiring local asphalt companies to replace or repair severe structural damage.

Typically, you want to seal an asphalt driveway every few years, not yearly. However, if you have severe damage, potholes, and cracks, you may need to repair the driveway more often. Resealing can be done without a professional, but it is messy work. Large potholes and structural damage, or a full replacement, should be done by professionals. Consumer-grade liquid crack sealer and patches can be purchased locally. If the damage looks more severe, ask a professional to give you an assessment.

Concrete driveways also need to be sealed regularly, but not as often as asphalt. Seal the driveway every four or five years. This will protect the driveway from moisture and water damage. Increase the driveways lifetime with a sealer. Not all stores will carry consumer-grade concrete driveway sealer. As always, if it has been several years or there is serious damage to your driveway, consider replacing the driveway professionally.

When to Seal Your Driveway

Ideally, you want to do any driveway repair during the summer months. This will reduce any damage done by precipitation like snow or harsh freezing weather. Professional contractors can essentially seal driveways year-round. Expect more labor costs during detrimental weather.
