Driveways take a beating from sun, rain, snow, and daily use, and over time, they begin to show it. That was the case for a homeowner in Palmyra, PA, who contacted RDS Paving & Sealcoating after being referred by a satisfied customer.
Their asphalt driveway was greying, dry-looking, and beginning to show visible seams that needed sealing. It wasn’t just an aesthetic concern—it was about preventing further deterioration before cracks expanded or water damage set in.
Tackling Surface Damage Before It Worsens
Over time, Pennsylvania weather, especially the cold winters and UV-heavy summers, takes a toll on asphalt. In this case, the homeowner’s driveway was losing its color and flexibility, and minor cracks were forming along the seams.
If left untreated, those cracks would eventually widen, allowing water to penetrate the base and cause larger structural issues.
To restore the surface and protect it long-term, our team performed crack sealing followed by a full brush-applied sealcoat—a reliable method for residential asphalt preservation.
What Goes Into Our Quality Driveway Restoration Process
Surface Prep
We started by thoroughly cleaning the entire driveway to remove debris and ensure strong adhesion for both crack filler and sealer.
Crack Sealing
Next, we applied high-quality crack sealant to all visible seams. This step is crucial to prevent water intrusion and freeze-thaw damage common in the Palmyra area.
Brush Application Sealcoating
Finally, we applied a rich layer of premium sealcoat using a brush, which provides a thicker, more uniform sealcoating, making it preferable to spray application. This method also promotes deeper penetration into the surface’s pores, maximizing both durability and visual appeal.
The Driveway’s Fresh Look That Stands Out on the Block
The difference was striking and the homeowner was thrilled with the outcome. The smooth, rich-black finish brought the driveway back to life and made the whole area neat and very presentable to visitors.
The clean, freshly sealed driveway creates a sharp contrast against the lush green lawn and perfectly frames the home’s front entrance. The refreshed blacktop gives the property a crisp, well-maintained look that really makes the house’s brick facade stand out.
