Sealcoating is a thin coat of sealer spread over asphalt that is still sound. Greenfield Pavement Coatings does driveway sealcoating for homes and parking lot sealcoating for businesses around Clarksville and the Nashville area. Sealer makers say the coat shields the binder that holds asphalt together from oxidation and weather. That aging is what turns a black driveway gray and brittle.
The job starts with prep. Sealer makers want all dirt off the asphalt and oil spots treated before the first coat. Open cracks get crack sealing first, and broken spots get patched. We look at the surface, then put the quote in writing.

New asphalt has to cure before sealer goes on it. A sealer maker says the oils in fresh asphalt need time to oxidize and work out. Sealer makers put that wait at 30 to 90 days or more, and a national cost guide says six months.
The asphalt industry's technical institute gives a well-built driveway or lot about two to five years before it needs sealer. So a first coat can come anywhere from a few months to a few years after paving. The institute says to seal as soon as the surface turns dry and brittle with age.
After that, a sealer maker says to reseal every three to five years. A national cost guide says every other year where heat or cold run to extremes. NOAA's normals for Clarksville average 78 freezing nights a year and over 50 days at 90 degrees or above. So plan on the shorter end of those ranges once the surface shows wear.
Sealer needs warm, dry weather to cure. Sealer makers call for pavement and air at 50 degrees or warmer and rising. One wants that for a full day, with no rain in the forecast for 24 hours.
Around Clarksville, NOAA's normals put the last spring freeze in early April. The first fall freeze comes around the start of November. So the sealcoating season here runs from spring into fall. Each date still depends on the forecast for that week.
On a parking lot, fresh sealer covers the old lines and markings. They go back down with parking lot striping once the sealer cures. The U.S. Access Board's ADA guide counts resealing a lot as an alteration. Alterations must include the accessible spaces the standards require.
Sealer closes small surface cracks and voids, the asphalt industry's technical institute says. It also slows raveling, the loss of stone from the top of older asphalt. That is the limit of what a thin coat can do.
Sealcoating does not repair structural damage. A sealer maker's homeowner guide says spider-web cracking points to a failed base. The fix is to remove the old asphalt and the base under it. Potholes may need full-depth removal too, which is asphalt repair work done before any sealer.
Asphalt that is crumbling at the end of its life needs replacing, a national cost guide notes. If the base is still sound, an asphalt overlay may be the better next step. Sealer over a failed base only covers up the damage.
