Black Magic: bringing a worn asphalt driveway back to life with a coat of sealer

Article Abstract:

An asphalt driveway can be maintained using a sealer, which will prevent the formation of cracks, raised fault lines and jagged pits, as it will protect the driveway from the damage caused by the sun and water. The process involved in applying a sealant is described, which includes removal of the weeds, oil stains and cracks from the driveway before applying the sealer.
