Here are the quick notes: 1. Blow 2. Pressure wash 3. Use Elasto meric Crack Filler for all cracks less than a half inch. Then use a 2” putty knife. 4. Bigger ones, trowel grade crack filler. 5. Use premium grade driveway resurfacer. Use a paddle mixer to mix it up. 6. Paint the sides with a small brush. 7. With two people, have someone pour it with a trail person with a gigantic squeegee. 8. Go to church in your khakis.

I am about to have 30 plus year old, extensively cracked driveway paved with 2 inches of asphalt and compacted to 1 1/2 ". There are no holes. Just almost total cris crossed cracks. Paving companies say it needs to be removed and rebuilt totally from dirt thru new compacted rock then new asphalt. It is difficult for me to accept all of that since, though covered like a jigsaw puzzle in extensive cracking, since pieces are locked in tightly and not coming out, and not leaving holes, I can't see why new compacted high quality paving won't create a new, long-term asphalt driveway.

I've been doing this on my driveway for the past 30 years, in July. It lasts an average of two to three years. The product I use is from a Canadian manufacturer(we got lots of asphalt bituman chemical companies) The summer sun helps warm up the asphalt so the new coating bonds better. Costs about $40 cad from the local hardware store. Worth it.

Good question. The normal asphalt only products are rated for three years of service from ones I have seen; there are some that claim longer and shorter. I have found that the longevity is greatly affected by how many snowfalls come in the winter, when I use a manual push shovel that repeatedly scrapes the surface. I would hope this product holds up at least as well.

There's a simple graph on the side of the buckets of sealant that recommend how many 5 gallon buckets based on square footage. Measure your driveway LxW and you'll get your sq. footage. My driveway is 780 ft. long x 10ft. long for 7800 sq. ft. The product I'm going to use (item #808010 at Costco) says 1 bucket covers 250-350 sq. ft. I'm assuming that depends on how many coats you want to put on. Likely if you want a more perfected driveway you're going to do at least 2 coats. But either way, divide 7800 by 250 and you'll get that at the very least I need approximately 31 buckets. They're $19.99 each - so my minimal cost will be $620. I'd say that the sq. footage estimate on the bucket is likely the same no matter the actual product brand you choose to use.

Rwt2777 you are spot on with your information but there's a difference in grades and also how far they will stretch and if you get a paint roller a large one I think they have a 18 inch available and then with some down pressure and pulling you tend to get an extra 50 to 100 sq ft if its latex you get a lil extra if its filler seal not so much lol and yup that flat blade squeegee is awesome for that job but he can't really put down pressure and drag any extra away that gator skin gear is what I wanna see dry and a year later

We've resurfaced our driveway multiple times over the years. It's a horrible backbreaking job but it looked good when we got done. But we've done it so many times that it's now time for a total driveway re-do, maybe with concrete this time.
