Asphalt Sealcoating
Professional Asphalt Sealcoating Services for Residential Properties in Atlanta
Your asphalt driveway, private road, walkway, or other asphalt-paved area is an investment, and like any investment, it requires maintenance to stay in top condition. Asphalt sealcoating is one of the most effective ways to protect your surfaces from cracking, fading, and premature wear. It acts as a protective barrier, shielding asphalt from UV rays, water damage, and oil spills while restoring its rich black appearance.
At A&A Asphalt Paving, we provide high-quality asphalt sealcoating to help homeowners in Atlanta extend the life of their asphalt surfaces and maintain their property’s curb appeal. We use premium-grade sealcoating materials to ensure maximum durability and protection for driveways, private roads, patios, and more.

What Is Asphalt Sealcoating?
Asphalt sealcoating is a thin, protective layer applied to asphalt surfaces to protect them from weather, vehicle fluids, and daily wear. It is made from a coal tar or asphalt-based emulsion, mixed with water, sand, polymers, and other strengthening additives. When applied correctly, sealcoating fills in minor surface imperfections, creating a smooth, uniform finish that enhances durability.
What Does Asphalt Sealcoating Do?
There are many benefits of sealcoating asphalt pavement. Sealcoating preserves and strengthens asphalt by:
- Blocking harmful UV rays that dry out asphalt and cause cracks.
- Preventing water penetration, reducing the risk of cracks and potholes.
- Creating a smooth, protective layer that resists damage from oil, gas, and chemicals.
- Enhancing curb appeal by restoring the asphalt’s deep black color.
- Extending the lifespan of asphalt surfaces, delaying costly repairs and resurfacing.
While sealcoating is not a crack-filling or repair method, it helps slow down deterioration and keeps your asphalt surfaces looking and performing like new.
Is Asphalt Sealcoating Necessary?
Yes, asphalt sealcoating is a necessary part of asphalt maintenance. Without regular sealcoating, asphalt becomes brittle, cracked, and vulnerable to damage.
If sealcoating is skipped or delayed, homeowners may face:
- Faster asphalt deterioration, leading to premature repairs or replacement.
- Increased cracks and potholes from water damage and oxidation.
- A rough, faded surface, which decreases curb appeal and property value.
For optimal protection, asphalt surfaces should be sealcoated every 2 to 3 years, depending on traffic and weather conditions.

Benefits of Asphalt Sealcoating
Sealcoating provides numerous benefits that help homeowners protect their asphalt investment and avoid costly repairs.
Extends the Lifespan of Your Asphalt Surfaces
Asphalt surfaces are durable, but they are constantly exposed to sunlight, rain, vehicle weight, and temperature changes, all of which can cause gradual deterioration. Without protection, asphalt begins to dry out, crack, and break apart over time. Sealcoating slows down this aging process by adding a protective layer that shields against the elements, significantly extending the lifespan of your driveway, private road, or other asphalt-paved areas.
Protects Against Cracking & Potholes
Cracks in asphalt may seem small at first, but they quickly expand when water seeps into them. As temperatures change, the trapped moisture freezes and thaws, causing the cracks to widen. Over time, cracks can turn into potholes, leading to major structural damage that is costly to fix. Sealcoating prevents moisture from penetrating the surface, significantly reducing the risk of cracks, potholes, and foundation weakening.
Shields Asphalt from UV Rays & Weather Damage
The sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays are one of the biggest threats to asphalt durability. Prolonged sun exposure dries out the asphalt binder, causing the surface to lose its flexibility and become brittle. This leads to cracks, surface erosion, and fading, giving asphalt an old, worn-out appearance. Sealcoating blocks UV rays from penetrating the surface, keeping the asphalt flexible and resistant to cracking. Additionally, sealcoating provides protection from rain, snow, and temperature changes.
Resists Oil, Gas, and Chemical Spills
Oil leaks, gasoline spills, and other chemicals can soften and break down asphalt, leading to surface deterioration and weak spots. Without proper protection, these substances penetrate the asphalt and erode its integrity, causing crumbling and potholes in high-traffic areas. Sealcoating creates a non-porous surface that repels chemicals, preventing them from sinking into the asphalt. This makes cleaning spills easier and more effective.
Improves Curb Appeal & Surface Appearance
A faded, cracked, or patchy asphalt surface can detract from the overall look of your property. Sealcoating restores the deep black color of asphalt, making it look fresh, clean, and well-maintained. This simple yet effective service instantly enhances curb appeal, making your driveway or private road look smooth and uniform.
Saves Money on Costly Repairs
Asphalt repairs, resurfacing, and full replacements can be expensive, especially if damage is left unaddressed for too long. Sealcoating is a cost-effective preventative measure that helps homeowners avoid major repair expenses. By sealing cracks, preventing moisture damage, and reducing wear and tear, sealcoating significantly lowers long-term maintenance costs. Instead of dealing with costly repaving, homeowners can keep their asphalt surfaces in top condition for years to come with regular sealcoating.

How Long Does Sealcoating Last?
The lifespan of asphalt sealcoating depends on weather conditions, traffic, and maintenance. In general:
- Residential driveways and private roads: Sealcoating lasts 2-3 years before needing reapplication.
- High-traffic areas: Asphalt surfaces with frequent use may need sealcoating every 1-2 years.
- Proper maintenance, such as avoiding harsh chemicals and excessive vehicle weight, can prolong the life of sealcoating.
Signs Your Asphalt Needs Sealcoating:
- Faded, dull asphalt surface
- Minor cracks appearing
- Rough, dry texture
- Water not beading on the surface
When Is the Best Time to Sealcoat Asphalt?
Timing is crucial for a successful sealcoating application. The best time to sealcoat is when:
- Temperatures are between 50-85°F for proper curing.
- Weather is dry, with no rain expected for at least 24-48 hours.
- Asphalt is at least 6-12 months old if newly paved, allowing proper curing before sealcoating.
In Atlanta, the ideal time for sealcoating is typically spring through early fall, when temperatures are mild and dry.
