"Armor Flex" epoxy fortifier and 000 graded sand additions for durability and traction.

March to November, weather permitting.
Q: How often should I seal my asphalt?
A: Conditions vary greatly, in a hot dry climate sealer

conditions including below freezing temperatures and heavy snow,
which can lead to plow wear, shovel scraping, ice picking etc.
We recommend sealing asphalt every 2-3 years because of this.
