How Often Should You Sealcoat Your Driveway? Avoid Damage & Save Money

Sep 12, 2025 | Sealcoating

Your driveway is one of the first things people notice about your property, but over time, exposure to weather and traffic can take a toll on your asphalt. Sealcoating is one of the most effective ways to protect your driveway and extend its lifespan. At Oscar’s Asphalt & Sealcoating, we help homeowners understand when and why to sealcoat so they can get the best long-term results.


The Ideal Sealcoating Schedule

Most asphalt driveways should be sealcoated every 2–3 years, depending on usage and local climate conditions. High-traffic areas or driveways exposed to harsh winters may need more frequent attention, while lighter-use surfaces can sometimes go longer between treatments.

Signs It’s Time to Sealcoat

If you notice fading color, small cracks, or water pooling on your asphalt, it’s time to act. Sealcoating creates a protective barrier against UV rays, water penetration, and chemicals like oil or salt that can speed up deterioration. Regular maintenance prevents minor issues from becoming costly repairs.
