Our Driveway Sealcoating Process

Edge grass from driveway and remove weeds growing through cracks using string trimmers to ensure all the asphalt is exposed prior to the sealcoating application.
Thorough cleaning of the entire asphalt surface and in cracks using wire broom to loosen up dried dirt and debris and then high powered blowers to clean off all dirt and debris.
Treat Oil spots using a high grade oil primer to improve adhesion of the sealcoating.

Fill “Major” cracks 1/4″ to 1/2″ wide with Thick Trowel Grade Crack filler to help resist water from getting into the cracks and freezing, making your driveway crack even more.
-> IMPORTANT: We do NOT fill “Spider Web” cracks or crumbling areas as asphalt repair is required for those areas.
-> We CANNOT guarantee that cracks will not reopen or settle. During the curing process the material may shrink and settle into the crack, causing it to reopen.
-> We DO NOT return to refill cracks that reopen or settle after service.
Neatly brush apply 1 coat of 100% the highest quality Black Diamond sealer manufactured by Gem Seal, formerly Sakrete.(Silica sand is evenly mixed with the sealer for added Traction and Durability)

We use 100%
“Black Diamond” sealer,
Not Cheaper “Asphalt” based Sealer!

Obviously, the “Black Diamond” sealer is more expensive than “ASPHALT” sealer and we have found that many customers have complained of other companies sealing their driveway and it wore away very quickly. This is either due to using cheaper sealer and/or they watered down the sealer to save money and rip off the customer, unfortunately, this happens all the time.
