my asphalt driveway was lain in 1985 and is still in pretty good
condition today. I seal every couple years....

It drfinetely seals the cracks so water cant get into the surface and
tear it up espically in freezing weather....

the home next to where i grew up has over a 50 year old asphalt
driveway. it still looks pretty good for its age. Tom Meehan is now
over 80 and hasnt sealed it in years. 50 + years for asphalt is a long
time...

they dont seal roads because it makes them slippery, i have to watch
that here. one thing i do is use the anti skid sealer. a piece of my
driveway is a hill.

house smiles when driveway gets sealed it looks so good
