How to Take Great Care of Your Driveway After Your Paving Job

Your new driveway is an important investment that enhances the curb appeal and functionality of your property. After a professional paving job, it’s crucial to take the necessary steps to maintain your driveway. Taking good care of your driveway can costly repairs and ensure that it remains in excellent condition for years to come. According to Angi, an asphalt driveway can last 15 to 30 years with proper maintenance. Let’s go over the actions you should take to maximize your driveway’s lifespan and keep it looking pristine.

Wait to Use It

The first step in maintaining your driveway after a paving job is to give it adequate time to cure. We recommend that you avoid parking vehicles on fresh asphalt for at least 48 hours. This will help prevent any indentations or marks. After the initial settling period, it’s advised to wait up to 30 days before allowing heavy vehicles to regularly park on the surface. Adequate curing time allows the materials to set properly and provides a solid foundation for future use.

Clean It Periodically

Regular cleaning is also vital to keeping your driveway in top-notch condition. Remove dirt, leaves, and debris with a broom or leaf blower to prevent any accumulation that could hold moisture and lead to cracks or potholes. Additionally, promptly clean up oil, gasoline, and other chemical spills to avoid staining and deterioration.

Invest in Sealcoating

Another critical aspect of driveway care is sealcoating. Sealcoating protects the surface of your driveway from UV rays, water, and chemicals and helps to maintain its color and texture. Generally, it’s recommended to sealcoat your driveway every two to three years, depending on its exposure to the elements and traffic load. By following a regular sealcoating schedule, you can significantly extend the lifespan of your driveway and maintain its appearance.

Taking the above steps not only increases the longevity of your driveway but also ensures that it remains a functional and aesthetically pleasing asset to your property. By dedicating a little time and effort to maintenance, you can enjoy a durable and attractive driveway for many years to come.
