How to Maintain Your Asphalt Driveway Year-Round

Proper maintenance is key to maximizing the lifespan of your asphalt driveway. By following a seasonal maintenance routine, you can prevent costly repairs and keep your driveway looking its best.

Spring and Summer

Inspect your driveway for any cracks or damage that may have occurred over the winter. Clean the surface thoroughly and fill any small cracks to prevent water penetration. This is also the ideal time to apply a sealcoat if needed.

Fall and Winter

Clear away leaves and debris regularly to prevent moisture buildup. Ensure proper drainage to avoid standing water, which can freeze and cause damage. When clearing snow, use a plastic shovel or a snowblower with a rubber edge to avoid scraping the asphalt surface.
