Your driveway sits outside 24/7, enduring the wrath of every season. From scorching sun to heavy snow and freezing rain, climate takes a toll. Fortunately, driveway sealing offers protection that adapts to changing conditions.
What Summer and Winter Really Do
In summer, UV rays dry out the asphalt, causing oxidation that turns rich black surfaces gray and brittle. In winter, moisture gets into microcracks. When temperatures drop, water freezes, expands, and creates larger cracks and potholes.
How Sealing Defends Your Surface
Sealing creates a barrier that:
-
Blocks UV radiation
-
Prevents moisture penetration
-
Resists road salt damage
-
Fills surface-level imperfections
The result is a smoother, safer surface with less risk of major damage—regardless of the season.
When Should You Seal?
For most climates, the best time for driveway sealing is during warm, dry months—typically spring through early fall. Avoid sealing during rainy or freezing conditions, as sealant won't bond correctly.
Conclusion: Stay One Step Ahead of the Weather
The elements are relentless—but they don’t have to win. Driveway sealing prepares your surface for anything nature throws its way. Don’t wait until the damage is visible. Seal it early, and enjoy year-round protection.
