Our blacktop driveway was starting to look a little shabby and in need of a sealing before it looked like the rest of the neihbors. Earlier this spring we were thinking about hiring it out, but I began seeing coupons for more than I was willing to pay off the regular price. Yeah, “New customers save $100 on sealing the driveway!”

NO.

I bought four buckets of the best sealer, the squeegee brush thing (or two), and pourable crack filler for well under $100. One day I filled the cracks, the next day I put the first coat, and as per the directions regarding a better seal, did a second coat the following day.

It looks really nice and it was pretty easy to do. I would highly recommend doing it yourself.
