Maintenance & Cleaning
Maintenance
Asphalt driveways typically last 12 to 20 years, depending on the quality of the installation, the climate, the usage they get, and how well they have been maintained. To get the most life and best appearance from an asphalt driveway, clean the driveway at least twice a year. Use a stiff broom and strong hose spray to remove all dirt and debris. Seal-coat the asphalt every two to five years to ensure an attractive, water-resistant surface. Cracks and holes should be repaired as soon as possible.
Cleaning
Be aware that power washing is a science. If done incorrectly, it can lead to costly damage. If power washing is needed then always get a professional who can warranty the work and provide insurance. If there are any damages then their insurance should pay for the cost of replacing. Always inspect the work after it’s complete, before issuing final payment.
