Asphalt driveway contractors in Toledo, OH, can help homeowners get their blacktop looking great again. An old driveway may have developed flaws over time that can be filled and patched, after which an overlay of asphalt can be installed on top. This makes the blacktop look like new. Additional strategies will maintain the aesthetics of the pavement for years to come.
Repairing Small Flaws
In the future, the homeowners can repair small flaws if they want to. Tiny cracks and holes sometimes develop due to extreme changes in temperature or repeated freezing and thawing.
Plant Growth
During warm weather, grass or weeds may quickly grow through. The property owners must remove those plants and clear away dirt from the open area before patching it. When managed quickly, these flaws are not very visible. If nobody gets around to the patching project for a few weeks, at least pulling up the plant growth keeps the driveway looking tidier.
Sealant Application
Having asphalt driveway contractors in Toledo, OH, apply sealant as frequently as recommended maintains the pavement’s rich black color. More importantly, sealant protects the asphalt from deterioration due to ultraviolet light and other weather elements.
Maintaining the Edges
Occasionally, the contractors may be called upon to shore up the edges of the driveway. Asphalt tends to crumble along the edges over time. The property owners should not neglect trimming weeds that grow along the driveway edges since that looks unkempt.
