What affects the cost of driveway sealing
- Size: sealing is priced by surface area, so a single-car driveway costs less than a double-wide or a long rural laneway.
- Condition: cracks need crack filling first, and damaged areas may need repair before sealing.
- Prep work: oil stains, weeds and heavy debris take extra cleaning so the sealer bonds.
- Number of coats: older, more porous asphalt may need a second coat.
- Sealer type: commercial-grade sealers cost more but last longer.
- Access: tight spaces, slopes and parked vehicles can add time.
Is sealing worth the cost?
Sealing costs a small fraction of what repaving does. It protects asphalt from water getting in, salt, gas and oil spills and UV fading, which are the things that shorten a driveway’s life. For most homeowners, sealing every 2–3 years is the cheapest way to make a driveway last.
How to compare quotes
- Ask whether crack filling is included or extra.
- Ask what sealer is being used and how many coats.
- Ask how the surface is cleaned and prepared. Skipping prep is the most common reason sealing fails early.
- Get the price in writing, including HST.

Cost FAQ
Can you give me a price over the phone?
A rough idea, yes, if you know the approximate size. An exact price needs a quick look at the condition, which is free and no-obligation.
Is it cheaper to seal in spring or fall?
Price is usually the same. What matters is the weather: sealer needs warm, dry days to cure, so book within the season (roughly April to November).
Can I seal it myself?
Store-bought sealers work for small jobs, but professional application covers more evenly, includes prep and crack filling, and usually lasts longer.
