Our 4-step driveway sealing process
Step 1: Inspect the driveway
Every Cambridge driveway gets a quick on-site look first: the size, the age of the asphalt, existing cracks, low spots that hold water, and any oil stains. That’s what an honest, exact quote is based on.
Step 2: Clean and prepare the surface
Dirt, weeds, loose stones and debris are removed, and oil stains are treated so the sealer bonds properly. Skipping prep is the number one reason sealing fails early, so it is never rushed.
Step 3: Fill the cracks
Cracks are cleaned out and filled with hot rubberized crack sealant that stays flexible through freeze-thaw. See asphalt crack filling in Cambridge.
Step 4: Apply the sealer and let it cure
Professional-grade sealer is applied evenly across the whole surface, edges included. Keep cars off it for 24–48 hours depending on the weather, and you’re done.
Driveway sealing in Cambridge: what's different here
Cambridge is three historic towns in one: Galt, Preston and Hespeler joined with Blair in 1973. That mix shows up in local driveways:
- Older homes in Galt, Preston and Hespeler often have older, more porous asphalt that soaks up sealer, so it may need crack filling and sometimes a second coat.
- Mature trees on many older Cambridge streets mean shade and leaves. Shaded driveways stay damp longer and need a dry day to seal properly.
- Newer subdivisions near Hespeler Road, Highway 401 and the city’s edges have newer asphalt, which should cure fully before its first seal.
- Freeze-thaw winters and road salt across Waterloo Region are the main reason Cambridge driveways crack. Sealing every 2–3 years and filling cracks before winter is the cheapest protection.
Residential and commercial driveway sealing
The core service is residential: single and double driveways, long rural laneways in Puslinch and North Dumfries, and townhouse driveways. Commercial lots are covered too, for plazas, condo corporations, places of worship and industrial sites, including crack filling, patching and line painting. See commercial parking lot sealing.
Why seal your driveway?
- Stops water getting in: water in the asphalt is what freeze-thaw turns into cracks and potholes.
- Resists road salt, gas and oil: all of them break asphalt down over time.
- Blocks UV fading: it restores the deep black finish.
- Costs far less than repaving: sealing every 2–3 years is the cheapest way to extend a driveway’s life.

Frequently asked questions
How often should I seal my driveway?
Most driveways should be sealed every 2–3 years. New asphalt should usually wait until it has cured (often around a year) before the first seal.
How long does driveway sealing take?
A standard residential driveway usually takes a few hours. You can typically drive on it again within 24–48 hours, depending on the weather.
Do you offer free quotes?
Yes. Call and we’ll arrange a no-obligation estimate.
Do you seal driveways in winter?
No. Sealer needs warm, dry weather to cure, so sealing runs roughly April to November in Waterloo Region. Fall is a good time to book crack filling before the freeze.
How much does it cost?
It depends on size, condition and prep. See the cost guide or call for an exact price.
Is driveway sealing worth it?
Yes, for most asphalt driveways. Sealing costs a small fraction of repaving and protects against water, salt and UV fading, which is what shortens a driveway’s life.
What time of year is best to seal a driveway in Cambridge?
Late spring to early fall, on warm, dry days with no rain expected for at least a day. Late summer is popular because it protects the driveway right before winter.
Do you fill cracks before sealing?
Yes. Cracks are filled first so water can’t get under the new seal. Bigger damage like potholes needs driveway repair before sealing.
Do you seal concrete or interlock driveways?
This service is for asphalt driveways. If your driveway is concrete or interlocking pavers, mention it when you call and we’ll point you in the right direction.
