Yes, you can buy the sealer and other supplies at any of the home
center stores. The sealer will make the driveway look better and may
help extend it's life. However, if the driveway has real underlying
problems, is old, deteriortated, etc, it isn't going to solve that.


Particularly if you're in area where freeze/thaw cycles are problem,
holes and cracks are the beginning of the failure points. There are
also patching products depending on the size/nature of such defects you
may want to take the time to fix first.

Ah, the gravel drive just looks better all the time...
