Your driveway is a part of your daily routine that often is left unattended to. When cracks and poor draining start to build up, eventually a lack of attention could lead to a full repaving becoming necessary.
To avoid this, every few years a resealing is ideal to maintain a longer lifespan set for asphalt being used.
Neglected potholes can lead to repaving rather than resealing projects
Homeowners that are excited about their new property may be overeager to begin doing jobs themselves, and while it can be cost-effective, consulting a professional is the recommended route to giving your driveway the best chance at sustaining long term.
Cracking and lack of edge protection
The structure of an asphalt driveway is often neglected on the edges since there is little support for the foundation for the path to rely on. Luckily vehicles parked on and using the driveway are most commonly centered on the ground and avoid these edges.
Poor drainage
Draining issues can arise more commonly in the winter from the cold weather affecting how the surface is available to be maintained. Erosion is a common side effect to be aware of when handling draining issues on your driveway, which is why professional consultation is recommended to be pursued.
