By Arline Bradley


Sealing the driveway would not only make it appealing. It will also provide protection against the changing weather. Doing this will be a worthy investment for you.

If you are planning to have your driveway sealed, do that when there is no snow or rain. Just look at some driveway sealcoating Somerset County so that you will know how it would look. If you plan to do that, read the following guidelines.

Somerset is a place which is census designated at New Jersey. The county has an area of more or less six square miles. You can go to a lot of places there. Somerset NJ is considered to be one of the most exciting places to visit.

First in the procedures is looking for trouble spots. See if there are cracks, stains, some holes, or crumbling areas. Look at the end and the edge of that driveway because they are the parts that are prone to getting damaged. If you see any oil or grease stain, get rid of that by using hot, soapy water and a brush. You need to be sure that you get rid of it. You may use some degreaser if that was ineffective.

You would see some cracks that could be big or small. Before applying any seal, fix them. If it does not get fixed, it can be wider and become longer as time goes by. Many fillers are being sold in stores that you may use to fix it. Do not forget to read and follow the given instructions to have the best result. Before you apply some filler, clean those cracks first. You need to get rid of the dirt, grass or some stones in it.

Patch the holes as well. Brush the area so that it will be clean. Remove any dirt on it. You could then apply asphalt on that. Compact that area to be sure that everything will be filled. Repeat that process until the hole is completely filled. If it sinks, repeat the patching process. Leave that for at least twenty four hours before you seal.

Clean your drive way properly after that. Sweep and use a hose so you could rinse its surfaces. Begin on the highest section going down to its edge. Prior to applying some sealer, verify the weather condition. Everything will dry for approximately 2 to 3 days. You have to see to it that it will be sunny the whole week.

If you would be applying it already, evenly spread some sealer. There will be ones that need equipment with long handles and a squeegee on its end. There will be ones that need equipment that are short handled. Repeat it until you applied all of it evenly. Let its first coat dry for 6 to 12 hours. Apply its second coat. Block your drive way and leave that for approximately 24 hours.

After doing the steps, you would see that it became appealing. Your home looked better with that change. Remember those things if you would be doing this.
