seal good blacktop to protect it rather than waiting until it looks bad and then hoping for

Breakdown and Deteriorate
essential strength and flexibility out of
asphalt, leaving it brittle and full of hairline
cracks that make the surface vulnerable
to water invasion. Aggregate ravels from
the surface and the pavement becomes
rough. Water penetration enlarges cracks
and freeze/thaw cycles add to the
breakdown. Further surface deterioration
occurs from gas and oil leaks that soften
and pit the asphalt. These stained areas
combine to give an unsightly and
uncared-for look to a faded surface.
