Crack Filling
We fill asphalt cracks with hot rubber sealant on driveways, parking lots and private roads. The cracks are blown clean and dry before any sealant goes in, because that is what makes the fill hold.

Sealcoating, or asphalt sealing, is a thin coat of sealer spread over pavement you already have. It shields the surface from sun, water and the oil that drips out of parked cars. On a driveway it puts the black back and slows the graying. On a parking lot it also gives you a clean surface for fresh lines.
Sealer only helps pavement that is sound underneath, so the prep is most of the job. The surface gets blown clean of dirt and loose material, and pressure washed where it is needed. Cracks get filled with hot rubber crack filling and oil spots get scraped and primed. Then the sealer goes down and traffic stays off while it cures. We sealcoat driveways and parking lots around North Zulch and the Brazos Valley.

Asphalt turns gray because the sun dries out the binder that holds the rock together. The Asphalt Institute describes old surfaces that turn dry and brittle, then start shedding rock. Sealer is a coating over that surface. It slows the drying and keeps water and fuel drips out of the top layer.
Sealer does not add strength. It is a coating, not pavement. It will not hold up a soft base, fill a pothole or close alligator cracking. Those areas need asphalt repair first, and a lot with a failed base needs more than sealer.
One note on the name. TxDOT and Texas county road crews call chip seal a seal coat or a surface treatment. That job sprays asphalt and rolls rock into it to build a new surface. Sealcoating builds nothing. It coats pavement you already have.
The NOAA weather station in Madisonville averages about 100 days a year at or above 90 degrees. College Station runs a little higher. That much sun is hard on a black surface, and it is why driveways here gray out.
The Asphalt Institute says a well built driveway or lot should not need sealing for about 2 to 5 years. Its driveway guidance puts the recoat interval at every two to five years after that. So sealcoating is upkeep you repeat on a schedule. Traffic and standing water move the timing either way.
New asphalt gets left alone for a while. Sealer specifications call for a minimum of four weeks of cure before any coating. The Asphalt Institute says to wait until the driveway is several months old. Madison County's driveway permit checklist puts sealing an existing asphalt driveway in the no permit column.
A parking lot takes more punishment than a driveway. Cars turn on the same spots, trucks drag across the entrance, and oil collects where people park. Sealer specifications for lots call for two coats over the whole surface. A third coat goes over entrances, exits and drive lanes, where the wear is worst.
We plan the work in phases with you so the business can keep operating. Half the lot gets sealed while the other half stays open, then the work moves over. Churches, motels, shops and equipment yards usually get sealed on their slow days.
Fresh sealer has to cure before paint touches it. The specification calls for a full day of drying after the last coat. That is why sealing and parking lot striping get scheduled back to back. If the layout is changing, the old lines get blacked out before the sealer goes down.

We come out, look at the ground, measure the area and see where the water goes. Then the estimate spells out the square footage, the base work and the thickness.
We shape the site so water runs off it, then put the base down and compact it. Soft spots and failed areas get dug out and rebuilt before anything goes over them.
Hot mix asphalt is laid with our LeeBoy pavers and rolled while it is still hot. Chip seal jobs get emulsion sprayed, then rock spread over it and rolled in.
We clean the site up before we leave and tell you how long to stay off the new surface. Striping or sealcoating gets scheduled once the pavement has cured.
