      @@SEALCOATINGISLIFE Attention to detail. Im oil in Canada. I think you guys like to cal it Gilsonite. How much a square, or how much for a subdivision drive 40x18? Around here depending its around $150 to $200 "CND".
      No pressure washing as oil needs to be very dry, but can rain 10 seconds later. Just a leaf blower and a broom. Work alone, pull up and 20 min later that subby is done. i dont do a lot of subby as logistics with parking etc. My genre is 3 to 6 thousand square. In and out with larger properties so the parking and kids are not an issue.
      Long and narrow suck with all the cutting in. You should buy a walk behind gas powered edger. I like to stick a twisted wire brush on them so you dont have to cart away long strips of sod. Its really the final touch that gets referals. Then its easier to follow a strait line. I even give it one last go with the weed whacker to clear up all those stragglers the edger misses.
      Good vid bruh, but water based is getting banned. Maybe acrylic, but too much money and it does not last. Oil last 2/3 years and the phone is ringing again. 1/2 mile? I could from start to finish in one day alone. No pressure washing and the edger does not like mud, so same day show up and done. Love the way you have the hose laid out slowly getting ready for the next zone.

    Curious what the sealing coat is, we use a 'slurry seal' in the uk on similar surfaces, what materials are in your slurry and how quick does it dry. Ours is an emulsion of bitumen and water with cement powder added to assist drying. Finished job looks great - love the wide brushes..

    It's nice to watch and appreciate good honest work. My neighbor had his driveway sealed a month or so back and had some of the worst sealing (if you could even call it that) I've ever seen. There's bare spots left completely untouched, lines, high spots where too much coating was left, and it's splashed all onto his concrete curb. I certainly hope he didn't pay for the work, because now his horrid driveway takes away completely from his golf course level lawn. Perhaps that's why it looks so bad. Anyway, good work fellas!

    Huge project. Just wondering. How long will that covering look good and how long will it last before it has to be done again?

    That is one heck of a lot of sealcoating to do in the time frame you mentioned. Holy Cow.

      Yes it was. I left to Canada for vacation right after this job. This project was an absolute grand slam.

    Do you also have different color options? In my country they have been using a lot of red asphalt lately, especially for like bike lanes and personally I think that would have looked a lot fancier for a property like this.
