My driveway is about five years old and getting "dry," starting to crack,
etc. It is over 4,000 sq.ft, though, has "curbs," so the estimates I have
are over a thousand dollars to patch and slurry seal. I was just hoping that
it is more like a once every five years rather than every two years.

We live on a private road where the neighborhood organization pays to slurry
coat our road, the city slurry coats the streets here, so maybe as hallerb
noted, we get a lot of UV here in SoCal and it could be cooking the life out
of the asphalt.

best,

OD

Generally speaking, how often should one do this? (newer asphalt drive
in
SoCal)

thank you, OD

Never. ?Parent's driveway has never been coated, and it was installed 27
years ago. They live near Buffalo NY.

california has little freeze thaw, but likely sun damage.

UV can be tough on everything.

to me its cheap insurance
