Typical schedule
- Commercial parking lots: about every 2 to 3 years.
- Residential driveways: about every 3 to 4 years.
- Lots with heavy traffic, lots of oil drips, or full sun all day may need it sooner.
Signs it's time
- The asphalt has turned from black to gray.
- Sand and small stones are loosening on the surface.
- Hairline cracks are showing up.
- Oil and fuel stains are soaking in.
Start early on new asphalt
New asphalt needs time to cure before the first sealcoat. After that, sealing on a regular schedule is what keeps it from turning gray and brittle.
Florida weather and scheduling
Sealer needs dry pavement and time to cure, usually 24 to 48 hours before driving. In rainy season we watch the forecast closely and plan around afternoon storms.
