For DIY, a good sealer may be $20/5gal can. Maybe 6 cans will do you
and job will take about 3 hours. Buy sealer and hire "Jose" and get
by for about $150 total

We deal with professional asphalt companies in our business. For a big
project, they charge $.18 per square foot for sealcoating. Yours is a small
job, and would be more than that IF you can get a pro to even come out.

Remember that a professional job will include more than a DIY or off the
back of a pickup job. The "pot" for dribbling hot sealer in cracks prior to
sealing is about $10 grand. So, it's not something the average handyman has
at his disposal.

There are several ways to get this done. Professionally. DIY. Amateur.
Gypsies.

Check around because a good job can last five years under heavy use. A bad
job will be streaking all over the place in a week.

Ya pays ya money and ya takes ya chances.

first coat on a worn surface never previously coated will take a good
bit more material since it absorbs into the asphalt.
