Asphalt is far more affordable. It's much easier and cheaper to repair if cracks or potholes form, has a much shorter curing time, and holds up better under heavy loads and temperature swings. Although some say a concrete driveway will last longer, concrete cracks and other issues can’t be easily repaired and may require significant repaving to repair the driveway. For an asphalt driveway residents will love, call Wells Asphalt Paving today!

Asphalt can be a great long-term investment when it’s properly maintained. According to The Spruce, the average lifespan of an asphalt driveway is estimated to be 15 to 20 years when properly installed. Annual preventative maintenance, such as crack filling, is one of the best ways to ensure an asphalt driveway or parking lot lasts as long as possible. It’s important that potholes and cracks are repaired relatively quickly after they begin forming to prevent them from spreading and creating a bigger problem that can become more expensive to repair in the future.

We recommend that you do not park on your new driveway for one week. Asphalt becomes soft with heat. In fact, it’s a good idea to park in the garage or on the street on very hot and sunny days to save yourself from potential problems. For answers to more questions, reach out to our team.

Asphalt sealcoating is a preventative treatment intended to ensure maximum asphalt pavement longevity. Asphalt crack filler is used to seal any cracks or potholes that are beginning to form, then a liquid sealcoating solution is sprayed over the repaired surface of your asphalt parking lot or driveway. The sealer helps waterproof asphalt surfaces, slows oxidation, and makes asphalt paving more resilient to other potentially damaging fluids, like gas or motor oil. If you need sealcoating for an asphalt driveway, contact us for an estimate today!

After the initial seal, our experts have found that asphalt should be resealed once every three to five years in our climate with freezing winters and hot summers. If you need help with sealcoating, contact the experts on asphalt driveways homeowners depend on. We would love to assist you!

To put sealcoating on an asphalt driveway, the outside temperature needs to be above 50°F and the weather needs to be free of heavy rain for 24 hours. Our team has found that driveway and parking lot paving lasts much longer with an effective seal!

If you've recently installed a new asphalt driveway, we recommend waiting at least 90 days to a year to ensure the sealant doesn't damage the asphalt. Sealcoating a new driveway too early may trap oils within the asphalt, resulting in a driveway that is too soft or flexible. For asphalt paving you can rely on, contact us today!
