Your driveway takes more abuse than any other surface on your property — 3,000-pound vehicles, BC rain, freeze-thaw cycles, UV exposure, oil drips, and road salt tracked in from winter driving. Sealing it isn't maintenance, it's protection. A properly sealed asphalt driveway lasts twice as long as one left exposed. We clean, prep, fill cracks, and apply commercial-grade sealant — not the hardware store bucket variety — so your driveway stays black, stays sealed, and stays intact.
Full pressure wash of the driveway surface to remove dirt, moss, oil stains, and loose material — sealant doesn't bond to a dirty surface.
Crack filling with hot-pour rubberized crack filler for cracks up to 1 inch wide — this flexible compound moves with the asphalt through temperature changes instead of cracking again.
Edge trimming along lawn borders and garden beds so sealant covers the full surface edge-to-edge, not just the middle.
Two coats of commercial-grade coal tar or asphalt emulsion sealant applied by squeegee and brush — not sprayed thin like the cut-rate operations do.
48-hour cure barricading so no one drives on the fresh seal before it's set. We leave caution tape and instructions so your surface cures properly.
For asphalt driveways, we use commercial-grade asphalt emulsion sealant with sand additive for traction — the same product used on commercial parking lots, not the diluted consumer-grade versions. For paver driveways, we apply wet-look or natural-finish penetrating sealers that protect against UV fading, oil stains, and efflorescence while locking polymeric sand in the joints. For concrete driveways, we use acrylic or silane/siloxane sealers that repel water without changing the surface appearance. Every product is selected for your specific driveway material and the conditions it faces.
Asphalt driveways in the Lower Mainland should be sealed every 2 to 3 years. BC's combination of heavy rain, UV exposure in summer, and occasional freeze-thaw cycles breaks down the binder in asphalt faster than drier climates. Regular sealing prevents water penetration that leads to cracking, potholes, and base failure. Paver driveways should be sealed every 3 to 5 years to maintain colour and joint integrity.
Asphalt driveway sealing in the Lower Mainland costs $200 to $500 for a standard two-car driveway, including pressure washing, crack filling, and two coats of commercial-grade sealant. Paver sealing runs $3 to $6 per square foot depending on the sealer type (wet-look vs. natural finish). Larger driveways and those requiring extensive crack repair cost more. We provide a fixed quote after assessing your surface.
No — sealant needs 24 to 48 hours of dry weather to cure properly. If it rains before the sealant has set, it will wash out or cure unevenly, wasting your money. We monitor weather forecasts closely and only schedule sealing jobs when we have a confirmed dry window. In the Lower Mainland, the best months for sealing are May through September when consecutive dry days are most likely.
We seal driveways in Vancouver, Surrey, Burnaby, New Westminster, Coquitlam, and across the Lower Mainland.
