Fall is the perfect time to catch up on any driveway maintenance that you haven’t gotten finished yet. The mild weather is the perfect backdrop for repairing potholes, cracks, or other problems before the ice and snow hit. So, today we’re going to be talking about the kinds of things you should take a look at while fall is in bloom. Are you ready to learn more? Well, let’s do it!

Cleaning is the first step to success.

Using the proper equipment, you should clean the driveway. You can use a broom, a leaf blower, or a power washer to get this done. Just make sure that the asphalt or concrete is clean and dry before you do anything else. If you spill any oil or other chemicals on your driveway, then you should clean them immediately to prevent serious damage. Leaving gas or oil on your driveway can lead to issues with the sealant. Without the seal-coating, your driveway can develop cracks and those can quickly grow out of control. Once you’ve cleaned your driveway to the best of your ability, it’s time to get it fixed up.

Repair and seal your driveway.

Before the cold comes, you should make sure that your property has been properly sealed. Sealing your asphalt and concrete is going to help keep moisture from creating problems down the line; this includes potholes. Winter is pothole season, so get ready for it.
