What is sealcoating?
Sealcoating is the application of a protective, liquid asphalt emulsion to your driveway.

Driveway Preparation Meticulous Cleaning and Root Removal
Before any cleaning or sealing begins, I meticulously prepare your asphalt driveway. I start by thoroughly clearing all loose debris, like leaves and dirt. Then, I focus on the crucial step of pulling out any roots from every crack in your asphalt. This isn't just surface work; it's vital to prevent future damage. After that, I apply specialized, eco-friendly solutions to break down and lift stubborn stains like oil and grime, ensuring the asphalt is perfectly clean and ready for the next steps.
By personally overseeing every detail, I guarantee your asphalt driveway will be restored, protected, and enhance your home's curb appeal for years to come.
Laying the sealcoat down
A Thick, SealCoat
Once your driveway is prepped, I personally apply the sealcoat. I lay down the material and then use a specialized squeegee to spread it evenly. This method ensures a thick, consistent coat that really penetrates the asphalt, effectively sealing small cracks and filling minor imperfections. It's not a thin spray; the squeegee pushes the material into the surface, providing maximum protection and a deep, uniform black finish.
