Asphalt is durable, but without protection, Oklahoma’s weather can take a serious toll. From scorching summers to icy winters, pavement is constantly exposed to the elements. Sealcoating is one of the most effective ways to extend the life of your driveway or parking lot — and it’s a service every property owner should consider.
Why Sealcoating Matters
Sealcoating applies a protective layer over asphalt that shields it from water, UV rays, and chemicals like oil and gasoline. Without this barrier, asphalt becomes brittle and develops cracks that lead to costly repairs. Regular sealcoating not only protects the surface but also enhances curb appeal with a rich, dark finish.

The Benefits of Sealcoating
Weather Resistance: Oklahoma’s freeze-thaw cycles can widen cracks quickly. Sealcoating reduces water penetration and minimizes damage.
Cost Savings: Investing in maintenance now is far cheaper than resurfacing or replacing asphalt later.
Longevity: Pavement that is regularly sealed can last years longer than untreated asphalt.
Appearance: A newly sealed surface looks smooth, polished, and professional — perfect for homeowners and business owners alike.
How Often Should You Sealcoat?
Most residential driveways need sealcoating every 2–3 years, while busy commercial lots may require annual treatments. Ellsworth’s team evaluates traffic levels, existing wear, and climate conditions to recommend the right schedule.
