The former owner of my house sealed the driveway two years ago. I got a letter in the mail from the contractor who did the sealing telling me it's time to reseal. I did notices some small cracks developing in the asphalt. My question - if an asphalt driveway has been sealed once does it need to be sealed every two years for the rest of its life now? I've read online that sealing a driveway actually can weaken the integrity of the asphalt and is usually only done for cosmetic reasons. Is there something else I can seal this small cracks with? The problem with using some tar like product is that my driveway is somewhat sunbleached now and anything I use to seal the cracks is going to show - is there some clear product that will seal the cracks without making them more noticeable?
