Cracks repaired first, then sealer before the winter rain

Trinity Paving and Concrete handles asphalt sealcoating for driveways and parking lots in Dixon and the towns around it. Sealcoating puts a fresh coat of sealer over asphalt that has gone dry and brittle with age. It seals small surface cracks and pits, and it brings back the black finish. We seal driveways for homes and rural properties, and lots for landlords, HOAs, churches and businesses.

Every job starts with prep, and cracks and soft spots get repaired first. Sealer is a surface coat, and asphalt repair fixes the damage below it. We schedule sealcoating ahead of the winter rain. Call or text (707) 396-7730, and we will look at the surface and put the quote in writing.

What Driveway Sealcoating Does and Does Not Do

With age, an asphalt surface goes dry and brittle, and the black fades to gray. An asphalt trade association says sealing renews that worn surface. It also seals small surface cracks and voids. It slows raveling too, which is stone coming loose from the surface.

Sealer is a light coat that protects a sound surface. It cannot fill a wide crack or patch a pothole, and a soft spot under it stays soft. Caltrans maintenance guidance calls alligator cracking a structural failure that crack sealing will not treat. Those areas get dug out and rebuilt before any sealer goes down.

Some surfaces are past what sealer can help. When cracks run across large areas, the fix goes deeper than a new coat. If the base below is still sound, asphalt resurfacing puts a new layer on top. We tell you which fix fits after we see the driveway or lot.

How Sealcoating Prep Works on Driveways and Parking Lots

On our jobs, the surface is cleaned and loose stone is cleared first. A sealer manufacturer's specification calls for loose material and dirt to come off right before sealing. The same specification calls for a primer on oil spots.

Cracks come next. That specification says hairline cracks up to 1/8 inch wide need no repair before sealing. Wider cracks get cleaned and filled with crack sealant first. A federal highway manual says neglected cracks lead to faster cracking and potholes.

Then the sealer goes on in coats, and each coat dries before the next. The specification recommends at least two coats. Sealer covers the old lines on a parking lot, so parking lot restriping follows once it cures. The specification has striping paint wait at least 24 hours on fresh sealer.

When Is the Best Time to Sealcoat in the Sacramento Valley?

Sealer needs warm, dry weather. A sealer manufacturer's specification calls for 50 F and rising, with no drop below 50 F for 24 hours. It also says to hold off when rain is forecast in the next 24 hours.

NOAA keeps climate normals for a Davis weather station about 6 miles north of Dixon. There, the normal low stays above 50 F from May through September. In April and October the normal low dips below 50 F, so work then waits for warm stretches. November through March brings 84 percent of the year's rain.

So the sealing season here runs through the dry months. Summer nights stay warm enough for the 50 F rule: the station's normal July low is about 57 F. The winter rain closes the season, and we schedule sealcoating ahead of it. That puts fresh sealer and filled cracks in place before the wet months.

FAQ

Sealcoating Questions, Answered

Common questions about sealcoating around Dixon and the towns of Solano, Yolo and Sacramento counties. If yours is not here, call or text and ask.

Call (707) 396-7730

How do I know when my driveway needs sealcoating?
An asphalt trade association says to seal as soon as wear shows. Look for a dry, brittle surface or small cracks and pits. Stone coming loose from the top is a sign too. That usually comes every few years, set by how the surface wears.
How soon can a new asphalt driveway be sealcoated?
A sealer manufacturer's specification asks new asphalt to cure at least 30 to 60 days in good weather. Its test: pour water on the surface, and a film of oil means it is not ready. An asphalt trade association adds that a well-built driveway should not need sealing for about 2 to 5 years. If you are planning a new asphalt driveway, the first coat comes later, once wear shows.
How long after sealcoating can I drive on it?
A sealer manufacturer's specification calls for the final coat to cure at least 24 hours before traffic. Cool air can stretch that time. Plan on a day with the car parked off the driveway.
Can a parking lot stay open during sealcoating?
Part of it can. A lot can be sealed in sections, so one area stays open while another cures. Each section needs its 24 hours before cars return. Then the stripes go back on.
How much does sealcoating cost?
The price depends on the size of the driveway or lot and the prep it needs. More cracks to fill and patches to make mean more work before the sealer. A lot that needs new striping adds to the job. Call or text (707) 396-7730, and the quote comes in writing after we see the surface.
