Let's face it. No matter how careful you are with sealcoating a client's driveway, you're bound to have a bit of overspray sooner or later.

Do you have unsightly oil stains on your driveway? These stains can detract from the beauty and even the value of your home. More importantly, they can weaken the pavement underneath them and cause the beginning of cracks or even potholes.

Asphalt surface preparation is a prerequisite to sealcoating and crack repair. Neglect proper surface prep and your asphalt driveway repair is set up to fail. But why is it important to clean the surface first before we apply crack filler or sealcoating?

When it comes to yard maintenance equipment, you want to make sure to get the most bang for your buck.
