Sooner or later, your parking lot is going to deteriorate if it never gets ‘sealed’ with a protective layer. Sealcoating is the final touch – the icing on the cake if you will – when you get your asphalt surface paved. It is an essential part of the asphalt paving process and can make or break your paved surface.
In layman terms, sealcoating is the protective layer that gets applied on top of your asphalt surface to ‘lock-in’ the oils and properties that keep your pavement surface healthy and prevent it from crumbling apart. Sealcoating ultimately ensures that your parking lots and roads stay protected from dirt, cracks, and water penetration in the long run.
Also, with sealcoating, you will prolong the life of your paved surface and save yourself frequent visits from your pavement contractor for pavement repairs!

Here are four benefits of getting your asphalt surface sealcoated:
It Protects the Pavement from the Elements
When your asphalt surface hasn’t been sealcoated, it is sitting unprotected to the elements all day every day. Over time, those elements can be punishing to an asphalt surface.
In Boston, the seasonal weather sees every extreme. Bright sunny days in the summertime that are always baking the oil out of the asphalt surface and the harsh winter snowstorms leave your pavement surfaces exposed to snow, salt, and the risk of the freeze-thaw cycle. Sealcoating is a product that helps protect your surface from these problems. Once you have shielded your surface with sealcoating, you don’t have to worry about your asphalt every time it rains or snows.
It Shields Surface from Spills and Vehicle Fluids
Boston is known for having high volumes of traffic, and those vehicles all have fluids that present a risk to the surfaces that they travel on. Because the majority of parking lots and roads are asphalt, if they are not sealcoated, water, vehicle fluid, and oil spills from cars can and will erode your asphalt surface. As a result of these risks, we at The Pavement Group recommend sealcoating your asphalt surface every 2-3 years. Frequent spills can stain and spoil your asphalt surface and extends the durability of your roads and parking lots.
Improves Aesthetics
A nicely paved asphalt surface looks good, but what is even more visually-appealing is sealcoating your asphalt as a final touch. Sealcoating instantly enhances your asphalt surface by using a refined tar sealer solution to give your parking lot and driveway that deep black color.
So if you want to spruce up your parking lot or building, sealcoating will help you achieve the curb appeal and aesthetics you’re after immediately!
Longevity
One last benefit of sealcoating your asphalt surface is to increase its lifespan. By sealcoating your asphalt surface, you are preventing your paved area from prolonged exposure to ultraviolet rays and sun oxidation. You are also saving yourself from having to pay a hefty price for regular resurfacing and repairs.
