Sealcoating VS Paving
Did you Know?

Driveway paving and driveway sealcoating are two different processes that are often confused with each other.

Driveway paving involves the installation of a new driveway or the replacement of an existing one. This process typically involves excavating the existing driveway, preparing the ground, and laying down a base layer of gravel or other materials. This is followed by the installation of the paving material, asphalt, which is then smoothed and compacted to create a smooth surface.

Driveway sealcoating, on the other hand, is a maintenance process that involves applying a protective coating to an existing driveway. This coating is typically made of a mixture of asphalt or coal tar and other materials, and is designed to protect the driveway from the elements, such as UV radiation, water, and oil. This can help to prevent cracking, fading, and other types of damage to the surface of the driveway.

In summary, driveway paving involves the installation of a new driveway or the replacement of an existing one, while driveway sealing involves applying a protective coating to an existing driveway to maintain its appearance and prevent damage.
