A year later and still looking great!
We paved this driveway last year and recently came back to protect it with our oil-based asphalt sealer.
At RSPavingToledo.com we recommend oil-based sealer for many of our new asphalt installations.
So what’s the difference?
Oil-based sealer penetrates into the asphalt and helps replenish some of the oils lost as pavement ages. Instead of simply putting a coating over the surface, it helps condition and protect the asphalt while bringing back that deep, rich black appearance.
Water-based sealer primarily creates a protective coating over the surface. It can still be a good maintenance option, but we prefer the penetrating characteristics of oil-based products for many newer residential asphalt driveways.
The goal isn’t just to make your driveway look new again — proper maintenance can help protect your investment from oxidation, weather, water and everyday wear.

Quality asphalt is an investment. Take care of it, and it’ll take care of you.
