Crack Repair

Hot-applied and cold-pour crack fill, matched to the crack, that seals out water before freeze-thaw turns hairlines into alligator skin.

Pothole & Patch

Cut, clean, and compact for patches that hold through the winter, not until it.

Oil and fuel stains on an asphalt driveway

Oil-Stain Treatment

Primer treatment so sealer bonds over old drips instead of peeling around them.

Why Ultra is the only sealcoat we sell

  • Polymer-modified binds harder than plain emulsion and resists UV and freeze-thaw longer
  • Traction sand is standard, so every job gets the grip finish others upcharge for
  • Higher solids and a faster dry mean you can walk it in hours and drive it in 24
  • Not coal tar, so it carries dramatically lower PAHs and is safe for kids and pets once cured
  • A solid brushed base coat means your driveway's first coat is worked into the surface, not misted over it
  • Built for Utah with a 50°F+ application window, engineered for freeze-thaw country

Why it matters in Utah

Six forces are breaking down your driveway.

Your asphalt is under attack from six directions at once: sun, water, oil, frost, snow removal, and the sheer weight of every vehicle that drives or parks on it. Each one wears it down a different way, and Utah's freeze-thaw winters speed up every one of them.

Think of sealcoat like sunscreen. You don't put it on once and forget it. You reapply to stay protected from the burn and the things no one likes to think about. Asphalt is no different: sun, water, wear, and the freeze-thaw grind break it down. Go unprotected long enough and it'll take you somewhere no property owner wants to end up.

Replacing worn-out asphalt costs far more than protecting it. A replacement driveway runs $15,000–$20,000. A quality seal coat every 2 years is cost-effective, routine protection that keeps that day from ever coming.

Why it hits harder in Cache Valley

From the day it's poured, asphalt starts drying out. UV and oxygen harden the binder that holds it together: the deep black fades to gray, the surface turns brittle, and hairline cracks set in. Sealcoating replaces that protective layer before the damage starts.

Then Cache Valley winter goes to work. Water seeps into every crack, freezes overnight, expands, and pries the pavement apart. That's the number-one reason driveways here go from a few small cracks to crumbling edges in just a few seasons. A sealed surface keeps the water out before it can freeze.

This isn't just our pitch. The Colorado Asphalt Pavement Association, a paving-industry group rather than a sealcoat seller, advises resealing every two to five years to extend a driveway's life. Regular maintenance is simply the cheapest way to protect the asphalt you already paid for.

Our Method

Why we brush, not spray.

Asphalt wears from the top down as the binder erodes and the surface opens up. Once there are low spots and voids, how the sealer goes on decides how long it lasts. There are two ways to apply it. That's why every first-time driveway gets brushed: one solid base coat, worked in, not misted on.

Asphalt wear cross-section, then spray and brushed application compared: spray lays a thin coat that follows the surface, while a brushed first coat pushes sealer into the low spots for solid coverage.

Spray (as a first coat)

  • Thin coat that just follows the surface
  • Skips low spots and depressions
  • Wears and cracks sooner
  • Wind blows overspray onto cars, plants, siding
  • Easy to leave thin spots and gaps

Brushed: our base coat

  • Solid, even coat worked into the surface
  • Reaches into pores, voids and low spots
  • More durable, longer-lasting protection
  • Controlled, with no overspray and no mess
  • Full coverage, no missed areas

Spray is faster for the crew, but on a first coat it lays a thin film, misses the low spots where water collects, and on a breezy day drifts onto your lawn and house. A driveway's first coat sets its foundation, so we brush it in: more sealer where it matters, driven into every void, clean lines, no mess. Once a driveway has a solid base coat, keeping it protected is a lighter, simpler job. That's exactly what our maintenance plan is built around.

Maintenance plan

The Alpha Maintenance Plan

Your driveway, handled for one small monthly payment.

  • Year 1: we come back, walk the driveway, fix small cracks before winter gets them (cold-pour, up to your driveway's included allowance below), and re-adhere any lifted seal. Included.
  • Year 2: a second checkup, the same as Year 1. Included under your warranty.
  • Year 3: a full professional reseal, at a price locked in when you enroll. Your monthly payments have already covered it. Nothing to come up with.
  • Warranty doubled: our 12-month workmanship warranty extends to 2 full years while your plan is active.

Included crack allowance (cracks under ½ inch, by driveway size): under 1,000 sq ft → 25 linear feet · 1,000–3,000 sq ft → 50 linear feet · over 3,000 sq ft → 100 linear feet.

Questions, answered

Straight answers.

How often should a driveway be sealed?
Every 2–3 years in Cache Valley. Utah sun oxidizes the surface and freeze-thaw attacks the cracks. A regular schedule keeps both in check, and that's exactly what our Alpha Maintenance Plan handles.
What does the maintenance plan include?
Two checkups and a year-3 reseal, funded by one small monthly payment. Year 1: we walk the driveway, cold-pour-fill small cracks (under ½ inch) up to your driveway's included allowance, and re-adhere any lifted seal. Year 2: a second checkup, the same as Year 1, included under your warranty. Year 3: a full professional reseal, at a price locked in when you enroll. Your monthly payments have already covered it. Your 12-month workmanship warranty extends to 2 full years while the plan is active. Ask about it when we seal your driveway.
How long until I can use it?
Walk on it after a few hours. Drive on it after 24 hours.
When is sealcoating season?
Typically April through October, when overnight temperatures stay warm enough for proper curing. Spring dates fill first.
What sealer do you use, and is it safe?
An eco-friendly, commercial-grade polymer sealer from one of the largest national pavement-sealer manufacturers, not coal tar. Coal-tar sealers are loaded with PAHs (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) that studies have linked to cancer risk, which is why they're restricted in a growing list of U.S. cities and states. Ours carries a tiny fraction of those compounds, is safe for kids and pets once cured, and won't track indoors.
What's in your Ultra sealcoat?
A polymer-modified commercial sealcoat from one of the largest national pavement-sealer manufacturers, not coal tar. Polymer binds the surface tighter and dries faster; fine traction sand is blended in standard, so every job gets the grip finish (great for slopes and shaded spots that ice up). One product, our best. No good-better-best games.
Do you fix cracks and potholes too?
Yes. We fill cracks with hot-applied and cold-pour crack fill (matched to the crack), patch potholes with cold-fill asphalt, and prime oil spots, all priced alongside sealcoating after we see the pavement. Most repairs happen the same visit.
Why do you brush instead of spray?
For a driveway's first coat, brushing is the only way we'll do it: a solid, even layer worked down into the low spots a sprayer skims over, with no overspray on your cars or plants. Spray has its place: on the right surface, professionally applied, it's a fine tool. But a first coat on bare or weathered asphalt isn't that place. Your first coat from us is always brushed.
Why only one coat?
Because of how we apply the first one. Brushing works one solid, even coat down into the surface, filling the low spots and building a strong base layer where your driveway actually needs it, with clean lines and no overspray. That base coat is the foundation; pair it with a regular reseal cycle (that's what our maintenance plan handles) and your asphalt stays protected year after year.
How do I know if my driveway needs sealcoating?
A few clear signs: the surface has faded from black to gray, water soaks in instead of beading on top, you're seeing fine cracks or oil stains, or it's simply been more than 2–3 years. Any of those means the asphalt is losing its protection. Not sure? We'll tell you straight when we price it.
Does sealcoating fill cracks on its own?
No. Sealcoat is a thin protective coating, not a filler or leveling layer. Cracks and potholes get repaired first, then the sealcoat goes over the top to lock water out. Sealing over open cracks without repairing them just hides the problem for a season.
My driveway is brand new. Can you seal it yet?
Not right away. Fresh asphalt needs to cure and release its oils first, which usually takes a few months and longer in a cool climate like ours. Seal too early and you trap oils and soften the surface. We'll tell you straight whether yours is ready.
Do I need to prep anything before you come?
Just clear vehicles and items off the driveway. We handle the cleaning and surface prep. If grass has grown over the edges, trimming it back helps us get a clean line.
What's the difference between sealcoating, resurfacing, and repaving?
Sealcoating is the thin protective coat every 2–3 years. Resurfacing lays new asphalt over the old (every 15–20 years). Repaving is full replacement. Sealcoating is the cheap, routine step that pushes those big expenses years down the road.
Is sealcoating worth it, or just upkeep someone's selling me?
Worth it, and the recommendation doesn't come from us. The Colorado Asphalt Pavement Association, a paving-industry group, advises resealing every two to five years to extend a driveway's life. Next to resurfacing or replacing your asphalt, a periodic seal is the cheapest way to protect what you've already paid for.
Will sealcoating make my driveway look new again?
It restores a deep, uniform black finish and big curb appeal. It won't hide structural damage, but on a sound driveway the difference is striking.
How much does sealcoating cost?
Most Cache Valley driveways run between $300 and $800, depending on size and condition. Crack filling starts at $50 ($2 per linear foot). Oil-spot treatment starts at $50 plus $2 per square foot of stained area. Pothole patching starts at $150, depending on damage. Those prices are for a typical home driveway. Parking lots and other larger asphalt areas get their own custom estimate. Every job gets a written estimate up front and a final quote confirmed on-site. No surprises, no pressure.
