How Often Should You Reseal Your Driveway?

Takeaway: In Central Virginia, resealing every 2–3 years keeps asphalt protected and looking fresh for resale.

Why Resealing Matters

Driveways take a beating from UV rays, rain, freezing temps, and vehicle weight. Resealing prevents cracks, potholes, and water intrusion.

Signs It’s Time to Reseal

  • Fading color

  • Small cracks forming

  • Rough texture

  • Water pooling

Central Virginia Climate Impact

Freeze‑thaw cycles in winter accelerate cracking. Resealing in late spring or early fall is ideal.
