Professional Driveway Sealcoating #25 "Sebastian"
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
This video goes out to our #1 fan, Sebastian! Thanks for watching little buddy.
There's lots of "1st Person" camera-view here as requested. This driveway was a BIG "soaker". It had a flagstone border leading up to the front door. NO PROBLEM. Here I'm are using a 4 foot brush only. Start to finish this took about 45 minutes. The sun ended up coming out when I was about halfway through. You always want to move quickly, but also efficiently. Getting sealer on the flagstone or garage apron could be disastrous. Slow and steady wins the race. Let me know what you think below. AND AS ALWAYS, the real experts will be in the comments below ⬇️

What is SEALCOATING and why should I do it?
1. Sealcoating protects and prolongs the life expectancy of asphalt pavement by filling surface damage and providing a protective layer to keep out damaging UV rays, vehicle fluids, and water.
2. The low cost of regular sealcoating can save you money in the long run. A properly maintained and sealed asphalt surface has an extended lifetime and reduces long-term repair costs.
3. With exposure to the elements, asphalt pavement over time becomes faded in appearance. A fresh sealcoat application enhances the appearance of asphalt, making it look and wear like new.
4. Sealcoating is typically done using one of two application methods: spray or squeegee/brush.
5. Sealcoating accelerates the melting process of snow and ice on pavement surfaces. This helps to protect against water penetration, rain, frost and snow damage.
6. To correctly complete the sealcoating process, the air and pavement temperature is recommended to be at least 55 degrees Fahrenheit for the duration of the application and for eight hours following the application.
7. Prior to pavement sealing, the asphalt surface should be cleared of all dirt and debris. In addition, minor repairs, like potholes and cracks, should be filled and vehicle fluids, like oil, should be properly removed.

I find it very relaxing especially with the sounds of the puddles and the brush and the truck (and no music.) Up close is best as you can see what's going on so much better. 😊 Well done! 👏

Yup, and doing it right by brushing it in multiple directions to really work it into the asphalt. That will leave a much better coating/result than the crews you see just dragging it straight down the driveway in a single flood coat.

True, there is some attention to detail and some skill involved, but it isn't exactly back breaking labor. So on the blue collar side of things, this is a fairly easy job, labor wise. The main down side of course is that it is weather dependent and fairly seasonal, so the income isn't exactly steady. So, you have to pace you expenditures accordingly to spread them out over the year, business wise, as well as personally. Maybe even take a side job in the off season.

I wanted him to move the hose because that area was so cramped for a few minutes. I know he was edging but I still wanted that hose out of the way. I get followed by 3 big dogs throughout my day, so maybe it's that feeling of not being able to organize and clean with 3 dogs jockeying for attention and treats and wanting to chase squirrels outside. Can I just get some housekeeping done, please? 🐈⬛🐕🦮 Beautiful job!! I can't wait to have my very own driveway that I can have sealed. It just better be this good.

He got those narrow parts by the garage with that big brush, but I think I'd have to keep a 3-4 inch brush handy for those smaller areas myself. I am starting to get a bit of a tremmor in my hands, and would rather cut in around "do not cover/touch" areas with a more controllable brush myself than risk "coloring outside the lines". But he's still young with a steady hand, so if this giant brush works for him, as it obviously does, more power to him. I only saw one place were the grass got painted pretty good.

Any reason why you guys push the sealer instead of pulling it? Or is it just what works for you guys? We find pulling the sealcoat to take half the time, which also means we never have to walk in it. Love the content!
