A recent restoration

Cracked driveway, brought back

An Arlington driveway with open cracks and heavy surface wear. We opened and filled the cracks, prepared the surface, and sealed it for a consistent finish.

Before

Cracks opened and filled

Each crack is cleaned out and filled rather than simply covered, so the repair holds through freeze and thaw.

After

Sealed to a uniform finish

A consistent, dark finish that restores the look of the driveway and sharpens the lawn edges around it.

What's involved

Repair first, then a finish that lasts

Sealing over unrepaired cracks only hides the problem for a season. The repair is what makes the finish last.

Step 01

Surface assessment

We look at the cracks, their pattern, drainage, and the overall condition of the asphalt to judge what restoration can achieve and what it can't.

Step 02

Cleaning & crack prep

Cracks are cleared of loose debris, vegetation and old failed filler. The surface is cleaned so filler and sealer can bond properly rather than sitting on top.

Step 03

Filling the cracks

Cracks are filled and compacted so water runs off the surface instead of penetrating it — the freeze-and-thaw cycle is what widens cracks year over year.

Step 04

Sealing the surface

A sealer coat is applied across the full driveway, protecting the asphalt from UV, oil and water while evening out the colour.

Step 05

Curing & aftercare

Freshly sealed asphalt needs time before vehicles and foot traffic return. We'll tell you exactly how long and how to care for it.

Not sure if yours can be restored?

Send a few photos of the cracks. We'll tell you honestly whether restoration is worth doing or whether the asphalt is past the point where it would help.

Know the difference

Restoration is not the same as cleaning

They solve different problems, and a driveway usually needs one or the other — sometimes both, in the right order.

Cleaning

Removes what's on the surface

Dirt, algae, mildew and staining sitting on top of intact asphalt. The surface itself is sound — it just looks tired.

Pressure washing services

Restoration

Repairs the surface itself

Cracks that let water in, failed joints, and oxidized asphalt that has lost its binding. Cleaning alone will not fix these — and sealing over them will not hold.

That's what this page covers.

Not sure which one you're looking at? Send a couple of photos and we'll tell you straight.

Your estimate

What affects the cost

Driveway restoration is quoted per property, because no two driveways fail the same way. These are the things that move the number:

Total square footage of driveway and parking areas
How much cracking there is, and how wide the cracks have opened
Whether cracks need filling only, or any patching underneath
Surface condition — oxidized, flaking or previously sealed
Access, slope and drainage around the driveway
Whether one coat of sealer is enough or a second is needed

Estimates are free and come with no obligation. Send your Arlington address and a few photos of the cracks and we'll come back with a scope and a price.

How long does the work take?

Most residential driveways are completed in a single visit. Larger driveways, or ones needing extensive crack work, may take longer. We'll confirm the timing with your estimate.

How soon can I drive on it afterwards?

Sealed asphalt needs time to cure, and that varies with weather and product. We'll give you a specific window for your driveway rather than a generic number.

Will the cracks come back?

Crack filling slows water entry, which is what drives cracking. It does not undo the underlying movement in the asphalt, so cracks can reappear over time — particularly through freeze-and-thaw cycles. We'll be straightforward about what to expect on your surface.

Can you restore a driveway that's never been sealed?

Often yes, but it depends on how far the asphalt has deteriorated. Oxidized, flaking asphalt with widespread cracking may be beyond what sealing can help, and repaving may be the honest answer. We'll tell you if that's the case.

Do you do this on commercial lots too?

We work on both residential and commercial properties. Lot size, parking access and business hours affect scheduling — tell us those details when requesting a quote.

Do you also pressure wash driveways?

Yes — surface cleaning and restoration are separate services, and we offer both. If your driveway is sound but dirty, cleaning is likely what you need. If it's cracked, restoration is.
