Another freshly sealed drive

Why Spring is the Perfect Time to Seal Your Driveway

April 11, 20251 min read

As the weather warms and winter fades away, spring is the ideal time to think about your driveway’s health. At Hughes and Sons Sealcoating, we’ve already seen signs of wear from the harsh Delaware winter—and we’re here to help you protect your investment before summer heat makes things worse.

Why Sealcoating in Spring Makes Sense

  1. Perfect Temperatures for Application
    Spring offers ideal temperatures for sealcoating—mild days and cool nights help sealers cure properly. Too hot, and it dries too fast. Too cold, and it won’t bond at all. This time of year gives us that “just right” Goldilocks window.

  2. Stop Damage Before It Spreads
    Cracks and surface wear that started over winter can expand fast with traffic, rain, and heat. Sealcoating now locks out moisture and prevents minor damage from becoming a costly repair later.

  3. Curb Appeal for the Season
    Spring is when homes and businesses get a fresh look. A newly sealed driveway instantly improves the appearance of your property—smooth, dark, and professional-looking.
