Top coat

Like a good make-up job for an actor or a good coat of paint on a house, a seal coat on top of asphalt really adds the finishing touch. The private driveway in front of our house was suffering from the weather, poor patches, and even a small sink hole where the underlying fill wasn't compacted and supported properly. We had the asphalt patched professionally a couple of months ago (between rain storms) but they weren't able to finish the job because of subsequent rains.

This morning after we got the garbage and the cars out to the public street, the asphalt guys came in and finished the job. We won't be able to use the road until tomorrow evening. That's a small price to pay for a really good looking and (hopefully) more long lasting surface.

Here are the pictures of the before the seal coat



And after the seal coat



Pretty nice, don't you think?
