Asphalt Sealcoating in Virginia
Sun, rain and freeze-thaw cycles dry asphalt out and open it up to water. Sealcoating puts a fresh protective layer on top, slows that wear down, and makes a driveway or lot look new again.
About asphalt sealcoating
Protection, not just a fresh coat of black
Asphalt is held together by a binder that oxidizes in the sun. As it ages, the surface turns gray, small stones start to loosen and hairline cracks let water in. Sealcoating adds a protective surface coating. It does not replace lost asphalt binder, restore structural strength or repair a failing base.
Good sealcoating is mostly preparation. We clean the surface, treat oil spots and fill cracks, and only then apply the coating in even passes. After that, the area stays closed until it has cured.
What's included
- Surface cleaning and edging
- Oil and fluid spot treatment
- Crack filling before the coat goes on
- Even coverage across the whole surface
- Tape or barricades while it cures
- Care instructions for the first few days

Questions
Asphalt Sealcoating FAQ
How often should a driveway be sealcoated?
Most residential driveways do well with a sealcoat every two to three years. Busy parking lots may need it more often. Sealing too often can build up a layer that cracks, so we'll tell you if yours doesn't need it yet.
How soon can new asphalt be sealed?
Fresh asphalt needs time to cure first. We usually recommend waiting until it's at least six months to a year old.
How long before I can drive on it?
Plan on staying off it for at least 24 hours, longer in cool or humid weather. We give you a time when the job is done.
What weather do you need?
A dry forecast and temperatures above about 50 degrees. If rain is coming, we reschedule rather than seal a surface that won't cure.
