- Hillside driveways. Steep, curving driveways are common and wear faster where cars brake and turn.
- Salt and sand. Heavy winter treatment on nearby roads gets tracked onto driveways.
- Wooded lots. Leaves, needles and shade mean slower drying and more debris to clear.
- Edge erosion. Runoff on slopes washes out the soil that supports driveway edges.
Sealcoating tips for Central Valley homeowners
- Rinse off salt residue in spring before it sits on the surface all summer.
- On curves, ask for an extra coat where tires scrub the most.
- Build up soil or gravel along eroded edges.
- Use a pressure washer on a low setting to clean before sealing, then let it dry fully.
