5 Simple Steps To Putting Sealer On Your Asphalt Driveway - Do-It-Yourself To Maintain The Value Of Your Home
Asphalt is a superb product for the driveway of your home. Essentially it lasts for many years and it is mostly maintenance free. But we don't live in a perfect world and even the very best quality asphalt suffers under attack from the sun, wind, rain and freezing weather.
After your asphalt driveway gets to be a couple of years old you start to discover the effects of this deterioration. Small holes and cracks will appear. Water seeps into these where it freezes over the winter extending and creating bigger cracks and holes. If you don't repair these problems it doesn't take many more years before pieces start to break off from the corners and sides. At this time it's beyond repair so you either have a very large expense staring you in the face or, if you're considering selling your house, have severely decreased it's selling value in the eyes of possible buyers.
Most people do not realize how easy it can be to do minor fixes to your driveway and reseal it to refresh the surface and keep water out. It is really an easy weekend task. Here are the tools you will need:
* Medium to Large Push Broom or Large Foam Mop
* Garden hose and nozzle (or to make things very easy, a pressure washer)
* Small trowel or putty knife.
* Small shovel (or grass edger)
* Gloves and rags to protect your hands and for cleanup.
As you can see, you already possess all of the tools you need in your garage. Now you need your sealing and fixing materials. You can order these items online or find them at your nearest Home Depot or Lowes. You will need:
* Asphalt Driveway Sealer (usually is available in five gallon pails that will cover approximately 500 square feet). Determine the total square footage of your driveway and buy enough to cover. If it has been quite a few years since your driveway has been sealed, get a little extra because the older, drier asphalt will take in more than normal.
* Asphalt Driveway Crack and Hole Filler (typically is sold in three pound containers). Find the amount you need depending on the number of cracks and holes you have to repair.
* Sand to fill deep holes or cracks if you have them.
Here's how to get the job done. It isn't hard, doesn't take hours and hours, and by going step-by-step you will be finished in almost no time.
1. Clean off all of the dirt, grass or weeds which are on the driveway. For those who have lots of grass or weeds growing in the cracks you may want to spray these with a weed and grass killer a week or two in advance which can make it simpler to get them cleaned out. Use a trowel or putty knife to dig out as much of the dirt and debris as you possibly can from any cracks or holes. Use your lawn edger or a shovel or spade to go down the edges of the driveway and cut away any grass or dirt. Be sure you have clean edges down the entire length and that all dirt and debris is removed in the cracks and holes. Then use your broom to sweep the driveway as clean as possible.
2. Wash the driveway off completely. In case you have use of a power washer this is an ideal method of cleaning the surface. Work with it to wash the surface completely and also to blow out any dirt you can in the cracks and holes. If you are using a garden hose, attach a nozzle to the end to give you the highest pressure possible. By doing a good job of cleaning now, you may save yourself a few years before you need to reseal again because you are doing a very good job now.
3. Let the driveway dry completely and check for contaminants. As it's drying watch for spots or areas that shine or appear dull from oil or any other contaminants that have spilled on the driveway. Get a bucket with water and mix with a cleaner such as 409. Wash these spots off by scrubbing with your broom or a brush. You might not manage to get rid of the foreign material completely, but the cleaner will help make a better surface for the sealing compound to adhere to. Rinse these locations off completely once you finish cleaning them.
4. Fill any cracks or holes with Asphalt Filler. When the holes or cracks are deep, prep them by using sand to fill them nearly to the top. Then use your hose to wet these down completely to let them settle leaving them approx 1/2" deep. You might want to do this 2 or 3 times, waiting a couple of hours between each soaking. Allow the driveway to dry completely before using the crack filler. Apply the filler according to the directions on the container, but it is important to make sure you get it deeply into any cracks or holes and make sure you smooth the top to get a nice finished look. Wait for the filler to dry and reapply an additional coating if cracks reappear.
5. Apply the driveway sealer. Now that you have all of the difficult preparatory work completed, this will appear to be the easy part. The perfect situation is to look for a warm cloudy day. This will permit the sealer to flow on smoothly without drying too fast. Pour a moderate amount of sealer onto the driveway and distribute it out evenly with your broom or foam mop. When you have a workable area done, pour out more and keep going. You should observe the directions on the container for any product you're using, but once you get started you will get an idea for how much sealer you need to get a nice even coat. (If it has been quite a few years since your driveway has been sealed you might want to apply two coats.) Rope off the driveway to ensure no one walks or drives on it until it's totally dry.
And that's all there is to giving yourself a completely new looking beautiful driveway! This is actually one job that truly provides you with a great feeling of well being and payback since you see the results of your work each time you come home and drive into the garage. Put a grin on your face and add value to your home by taking these simple steps to take care of your driveway.
And when your driveway work becomes a larger general cleanup of your home or property, another tip is to use rolloff containers or roll off dumpsters to get rid of any bulky debris or garbage. This can be a quick and cost effective way for do it yourselfer's to clean up after any home project.
Perfume with out spray nozzle.?
If you get a perfume but it doesn't have a spray or a 'swiper' do you just put it on your skin and tip upside down, or use a q-tip? Thanks.
You can buy refillable perfume spray bottles from Boots! Otherwise put your wrist tightly on top of the bottle, then make a qiuck turn of the wrist and back. This should leave you with just enough to rub on bothwrists and your neck!
