HOW OFTEN SHOULD I SEAL COAT MY ASPHALT IN TENNESSEE?

🛣️ Your Parking Lot Takes a Beating in Tennessee

Between the blazing sun, downpours, and traffic, Tennessee asphalt doesn’t stand a chance without maintenance. The #1 way to protect your investment? Seal coating — a protective layer that keeps your lot from cracking, fading, and falling apart.

But how often should you actually do it?

⏱️ The Magic Number: Every 2–3 Years

If your lot sees average use, you should seal coat it every 2 to 3 years. Heavy traffic, fuel spills, or harsh weather exposure? Plan on closer to every 2 years to prevent deeper damage.

🧱 What Happens If You Don’t Seal Coat

  • Oxidation from UV light dries out the surface

  • Water seeps into cracks, softens your base

  • Small cracks become big repairs — or worse, full repaving

  • The lot looks old and neglected (bad for business)

🚨 5 Signs You're Overdue

  1. Faded, gray surface

  2. Cracks starting to spider out

  3. Pothole formation or uneven areas

  4. Oil spots that won’t wash off

  5. You wouldn’t park your own truck there with pride
