    Cracks in Asphalt
    My driveway was asphalt paved about 15 years ago, and never resealed. It is now starting to crack in places, ant hills coming through, etc. Is it too late to use a sealer now, and do I need to call a company to come and put another layer on, or are there available products to seal old driveways that I could still apply? Thanks.

    Yes there are crack sealers. Pros heat this stuff up so it pours easier, but I imagine some could be purchased that would have a good flow rate. After you fill cracks, you'd topcoat.

    Thanks, I'll look for something at the Big Stores and report back what I find.

    They make a crack sealer that comes in caulk tubes. Unless you've got a ton of spiderwebish cracks it's worth sealing them yourself then going with the overall sealer yourself.

    With 15 years of no sealing, it won't "restore" your driveway, but will definitely help add a few or even several more years life to it.
