Looking for a good Driveway Sealer

[ZeroSignal]

Been trying to find an answer on what the best type of DIY asphalt driveway sealant is. All I have been able to find is a lot of open ended answersand from what I can gather is for the most part is that the Lowes and Home depot stuff is ****.Any suggestions???

Call a pro and have a hot sealcoat done. Nothing you can buy at the home center is even close to that stuff.

yeh most box stores have water based sealers and if it rains you can watch it roll down your diveway

You get what you pay for. We used to have to re-do ours every 4-5 years or so and the DIY products were relatively easy to use, but would only last a couple years. By the 3-4 year mark, it needed to be re-coated. The professional hot sealcoat will last a lot longer.

I recently used (2) different types.

Gardner and the stuff Lowes sells.
The Gardner was much better and I think Tractor Supply sells it.

Get the premium grade in whatever brand you choose, there is a big difference.

Get the premium grade from Gardner, it's the best homeowner stuff out there.
