A well-maintained crack free asphalt driveway adds instant curb appeal to any property. The dark coat and crisp lines serve as an invitation to residents and guests alike. Keeping asphalt looking fresh and clean demands maintenance. Below are a few simple tips to help maintain your drive.
Sealcoating asphalt driveways
After a quality asphalt paving job is completed, you should seal within 12 months time.
Campers and boats on asphalt
You should never park or store a camper, RV, boat, or motorcycle on asphalt long-term. Always use wood blocks under the tires for more even weight distribution. For motorcycles, use a kickstand plate.
Have an oil or fuel spill?
Always clean oil and fuel spills as soon as possible. An easy cleaning method is using Dawn dish soap and a high powered hose or power washer.
Keep the drive free of debris
A broom or leaf blower is a great choice for removing dirt, leaves, dust, and other debris that have collected on your driveway.
