This video is a Do It Yourself (DIY) on how to seal your driveway. Your driveway is one of the first thing people notice about your home but so often homeowners fail to maintain it. Without proper maintenance, your black top can begin to crack and soon or later your entire driveway will need an expensive repair. These are simple steps that you can take to maintain the health of your driveway. The process is simple and easy, and it does not take long to complete. Good luck!

Did mine 2.5 yrs ago. Absolutely a must for any driveway. Saw recently someone turn those barrels over before cracking the seal and tap the bottoms so any sediment can get loose before you open and stir. Gonna have to do that next time as well. Good video! You're probably an even better neighbour. Lol. All the best from Canada. - Greg

Not bad, not bad! I do this for a living. I use a 2" paint brush (I buy a bag of those cheap, wood handled ones at the beginning of the season) to "cut in" along the edges where asphalt meets concrete, or landscape blocks/pavers. Then use an 8" (long handled) brush to cut in the rest of the way around...then go to town with the squeegee brush. For those researching this as a DIY project. It should be done every 2-3 years, and there is no product that really lasts any longer than that. There are other factors that subtract from it's longevity...moisture and climate having the most significant effects. A driveway of this size, should only cost about $100 (150 at most), to have a professional do.

@@crystaljordan6045 Typical dry time, before driving on it is 24-48 hours (I am not familiar with this particular product...but assume it fits into the average). Several factors can lead to the failure of the product... -Exceeded shelf life -Not properly mixed/stirred -Exposed to extreme temps(in storage) -Moisture presence in asphalt -Temps at time of application and during curing time (needs to remain above 55F) Have you contacted the company/person that did the job, and offered the opportunity for them to make things right? A couple years ago, I had gotten a bad batch of material...(I was able to get material changed out at no cost....but I ended up having to redo over $2500 worth of work, for $0. For doing that, I have those customers for as long as they're living and I'm in business!)

At 3: 22, your edging is totally exposed. That's what I had. I used a diamond blade on grinder, made straight cut and poured Aquaphalt to build new edging so there is no exposed dirt, and the driveway meets the grass with a clean asphalt line. Aquaphalt can be sealed after 24 hours and that's the only reason I used it. You could use QPR from Lowe's but requires 6 months to cure. QPR costs about 20 cents per pound vs. Aquaphalt is almost $1 per pound. That's where it hurts but the curing time is almost instant.

@daprince27studio 2 жыл бұрын
Not all driveways are created equal, so it depends on your driveway condition. Sealing can help reduce the expension of small cracks into much bigger cracks. Just like everything else, if you allow water to get into places, damage will soon follow. If your driveway is fine, there's no need for it but if it needs a little TLC, why not. And yes, curb appeal is a factor too.

Power washing your driveway before applying sealer is a terrible idea. No professionals powerwash asphalt 😹 it won’t last
