Winter Is Coming, and So Is the Damage
Even in a mild winter without much snow, freezing temperatures can do real damage to a blacktop driveway:
- Frost heaves can lift and crack the pavement.
- Snow and rain get into small cracks.
- When that water freezes it expands, and the cracks get wider.
- Uneven spots hold water and turn into ice patches.
- Broken edges and raised sections catch snow plows and snow blowers, which breaks them up even more.
A sealcoat, brushed on by hand, is the simplest protection there is. It keeps water, salt, gas and oil out of the pavement, and it brings back a deep, even black. A new driveway gets its first coat one year after it is installed, and after that we recommend resealing every two years.
