FAQs about Asphalt Paving
How long does an asphalt driveway last?
A properly installed asphalt driveway lasts 15–25 years with regular maintenance. Key maintenance includes sealcoating every 2–3 years ($0.15–$0.25/sq ft), filling cracks promptly before water infiltrates the base, and avoiding heavy loads on hot asphalt in summer. Signs that full replacement is needed: alligator cracking (a pattern of interconnected cracks), large potholes, significant settling or drainage pooling, and base failure. If the damage is limited to the top layer, a mill-and-overlay ($3–$5/sq ft) provides a new surface at lower cost than full replacement ($6–$10/sq ft).
When should I sealcoat my driveway?
Sealcoat a new asphalt driveway 6–12 months after installation to allow proper curing. After that, sealcoat every 2–3 years. Apply sealcoat when temperatures are above 50°F and no rain is forecast for 24–48 hours — spring and fall are ideal. Sealcoating protects against UV degradation, water penetration, and chemical damage from oil and gas spills. It's the single most cost-effective maintenance step for extending driveway life. A 600 sq ft driveway costs $100–$150 to sealcoat professionally.
