Seal Coating will more than double the life of your asphalt, saving you money and enhancing the look of your property.
Why Seal Coat
Asphalt has many enemies. Normal traffic is not an enemy to properly designed and constructed asphalt pavement. Surface wear is primarily the result of weathering, oxidation, and the destructive softening effect of gasoline, oil, and chemicals.
What happens
Sunlight and moisture are the major causes of surface deterioration. Without proper protection, surfaces oxidize, permitting the aggregate in the asphalt mix to wash away. Unprotected asphalt loses desired resiliency, aggregate ravels from the surface, the pavement roughens, and the surface becomes brittle causing cracks. Water enters the cracks and causes sub damage. Hydraulic pressure (expansion and contraction) enlarges these cracks. Unfilled cracks allow water to saturate the sub-surface rupturing the pavement turning cracks into potholes. Progressive weakening of neglected asphalt, water and weather damage can reduce the life of your asphalt by as much as 50% in just five years.
The Deterioration of Unsealed or Improperly Sealed Asphalt

- Restore Vital Pavement Oils - These oils fill the porous asphalt structure, restoring pavement resiliency and stopping oxidation.
- Creates a Protective Barrier - Turns back harmful sun rays and keeps damaging liquids from penetrating the surface of the asphalt.
