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,

call the company that does the neighborhood road, that contractor
being already on site is likely the lowest cost to do your
driveway.....

because of time, cost, and weather i skipped a coating and the
surface detoriated fast, in 4 years.

i may coat it twice this year, frankly the newer water based coatings
arent as good as the old coal tar based ones.... IMHO
