Q&A

Is it better to hire professionals or seal your driveway yourself?

It depends on your budget, time, and DIY skills. Hiring professionals ensures a high-quality and hassle-free job, while sealing it yourself can save money and be a satisfying DIY project.

What products should I use to seal my driveway?

There are different types of sealers available, such as 100, 200, 400, 800, and 1000. The higher the number, the longer the guarantee. Choose the sealer that suits your climate and budget.

How do I fill cracks in my driveway?

Before sealing, fill cracks using crack filler or sealant. Clean the crack, apply the filler, and level it with a scraper or putty knife. Allow it to dry before sealing the entire driveway.

What techniques can I use for a smooth finish?

Start by spreading the sealer with a brush or broom to cover larger areas. Then, use a squeegee to ensure an even and smooth finish. Remember to work back and forth to achieve better results.

Is sealing my own driveway time-consuming?

Sealing your driveway can be time-consuming, especially for larger driveways. However, it can also be a rewarding and cost-effective project. Plan your time accordingly to ensure a successful job.
