How to Seal Your Driveway
You love your blacktop driveway. It's smooth, it's clean, it's all you need. Unfortunately, asphalt driveways won't remain smooth and black forever without a little maintenance. Mother Nature does her best to break down the surface. Not to worry, Blain's Farm & Fleet has everything you need to help maintain your glorious road home.
Take an edger or trimmer to the sides of your driveway to remove any blades of grass that may hang over and get in the way. We like the Black & Decker® Edge Hog® 2 - in - 1 Landscape Edger to get the job done quickly and easily.
Sweep the entire driveway clean of any debris using any large push broom. The O-Cedar® Professional Rough Surface 18" Push Broom is great for outdoor cleaning. Sweep it again while flushing the driveway with a garden hose. This helps remove dust and dirt trapped in small cracks. For proper adhesion, the surface must be debris free!
Fill all cracks and holes with Sakrete® Concrete Crack Filler. Different sizes require different filler compounds. Use the recommendations on the bottle to ensure proper filling.
Apply Sakrete® Blacktop Sealer using the Excel™ 18" Driveway Coater. Apply in thin coats, and thoroughly mix the sealer before and during application.
