“What is the best driveway sealer for my asphalt and how should I apply it?”

Unfortunately, sealing your driveway isn’t as easy as visiting the local hardware store, buying a couple buckets of sealer and pouring it onto your driveway. Many, if not all of the driveway sealers that are on the shelves at these stores are advertised to do a certain job. However, none of these sealers actually deliver on those promises and in fact do nothing but harm your asphalt driveway. If you pay close attention to the sealers you are looking at, you will notice that many of these driveway sealers are either water-, latex- or cold-tar-based depending on your area.

The bottom line is that these sealers are ineffective when it comes to actually protecting your asphalt driveway. A water- or latex-based driveway sealer acts much more like a paint than a sealer. Whereas a sealant will soak through and penetrate the surface to protect from inside out, these water- or latex- based “sealers” will “paint” the surface of your asphalt. This layer of “paint” dries as a layer on top of your asphalt. This layer prevents the asphalt from breathing, expanding and contracting. While the sealer may look aesthetically pleasing at first, the long-term damages are great. Your asphalt will begin to struggle to breathe and the surface layer of water- or latex-based sealer will crack all over. These cracks are called spider or surface cracks. The asphalt underneath will heave and buckle and eventually your driveway will be unrecognisable.

An oil-based asphalt emulsion driveway sealer is the only type of sealer that we will ever consider putting on an asphalt driveway, whether our own or yours. This driveway sealer is made with actual asphalt and is specially formulated to work with asphalt surfaces. The sealer contains natural oils that are found in asphalt. Over time, asphalt naturally loses these oils. This driveway sealer works to replace them to keep the driveway healthy. This type of sealer will soak into your asphalt and truly protect it. It is necessary to seal your driveway every year or two, depending on your preference. Just remember, that if you don’t seal your driveway and neglect your asphalt, you will be facing much more serious damages.
