Does it actually need it?

Probably due

  • Grey, and gritty when you rub it
  • Water soaks straight in
  • Loose stone coming away at the edges
  • In full sun, last done 3+ years ago

Probably fine

  • Still deep black, and shaded
  • Water still beads on it
  • No grit on your hand
  • Sealed within the last two years

How it works

1

Get a quote

Send your address. We measure the asphalt and read its condition, then you get a real number.

2

Schedule it

Around the radar and the pollen. Early starts in summer, so the coat is down long before the afternoon builds.

3

We seal it

Crack fill first if needed, then one coat. Exact wait time given at booking.

What sealcoating actually does

Sealer is a surface coat, not a repair. The difference matters.

It slows the oxidation

Ultraviolet breaks down the binder holding the stone together, and there is a great deal more of it here than in the places most sealcoating advice is written for. The drive goes black, then grey, then gritty as the stone at the surface stops being held. A coat takes the sun instead of the asphalt.

It keeps water out of the base

Once the surface opens up, water gets underneath, and metro Atlanta takes around fifty inches of rain a year onto red clay that holds it rather than draining it. The water does not leave. It sits under the pavement and softens what the drive is standing on, and most failure here starts there.

What it will not fix

Sealer is not a repair. It will not bind a drive that is already crumbling, close a pothole, or hold together alligator cracking where the base has gone. If yours is at that stage we will say so, because sealing it is money wasted.

How long it lasts

It depends on where the drive sits. The section in full sun greys and wants doing sooner. The section under canopy keeps its colour for years, and sealing that on the same cycle is usually paying for a coat the asphalt did not need. Judge it from the apron and the patch by the garage, which take the hardest use.

Common questions

How much does it cost?

It depends on the size of the driveway and what shape it is in. Around here the preparation is often a bigger share of the job than people expect, because a sun-beaten surface has to be cleaned back and a shaded one usually has algae to deal with first. Send the form with your address, we measure the asphalt and read its condition, and you get an exact number back. No pressure visit and no obligation.

What moves the price, and how to measure your own driveway

Does mine actually need it?

Rub a hand across it. If it comes away grey and gritty the sun has taken the binder off the top and it is due. Still dark, no grit, water beading means it can wait, and we will tell you that.

What time of year?

Most of the year. Georgia does not shut the season the way the north does, so it is a forecast question rather than a deadline. The two best stretches are late April into early June and September into early November.

The temperature rule, and which end of the season is better

How long until I can park on it?

24 to 48 hours depending on weather. Worth knowing for the fortnight after: in real heat a new coat stays soft enough to scuff, so roll the car forward as you turn rather than winding the wheel against a standing tyre.

Do you fill cracks?

Yes, measured by the linear foot and quoted on its own line. Sealer is not a filler, so an open crack is filled and given time to set before any coat goes over it.

My driveway is brand new. Can you seal it?

Not yet. New asphalt has to cure before it will take a sealer, and most manufacturers put that at six to twelve months. Sealing it early traps the oils still working their way out. Ask us next season.

What do I need to do before you come?

Move the cars off it, including anything on the apron, and turn off sprinklers near the drive for the day. That is it.

What happens if it rains?

We move the day. Sealer needs a dry surface going down and dry hours after it. Rain on a fresh coat means doing it again, so we reschedule rather than gamble on the forecast.

Is blacktop the same as asphalt?

Yes. Blacktop and asphalt are the same surface, and blacktop sealing and asphalt sealcoating are the same job. We seal asphalt driveways, parking pads and lots across metro Atlanta either way.

Do you seal concrete?

No, asphalt only. Concrete takes a different product and it is a different job.

Parking lots, churches and business property

Lots, churches and apartment property across the north metro. Measured on the ground, phased around your traffic.

Ruts, not cracks

Asphalt softens in a Georgia summer, so a loaded delivery truck in the same spot every morning deforms the lane rather than breaking it. Sealer does nothing for a rut. If yours has started to move you get told that at the quote, not after.

Where the water sits

Fifty inches of rain a year onto red clay that holds it. The section that is still damp two days after everyone else has dried is the section with the softest base, and it gets walked separately from the rest of the lot.

No season to race

There is no October deadline here, so a property that cannot take disruption this month can be done in November or February and lose nothing. What moves a day is the forecast, which is why lots get started early.

Under a minute to ask. We measure the asphalt, then you get a real number. Lots come back itemised, so you can see the sealing, the crack filling and the striping apart from each other.
