How often should one get their Asphalt driveway sealed? Mine is two years old and never has had any type of sealer put on it. TIA. -- --------------------------- Scall5 |

Mine is 28 years old and was done once. Fill any cracks, the hell with the rest of it. I don't see any benefit other than it look pretty for a few weeks. -- Ed http://pages.cthome.net/edhome/ |

As often as you wish to make a contribution to the retirement funds of the guys who do it. Most such sealers just color it black for the most part. There is not a lot of real advantage to doing much to a residential drive. -- Joseph Meehan Dia's Muire duit |

When I had mine installed the contractor said not until it "whites out" usually 3 years or more and repeat in the same manner. He said most people do it entirely too often because it looks good for a few weeks. He also said filling any cracks was far more important because of our freeze/thaw cycles. Colbyt |
