Maintenance To Keep Up Your Curb Appeal

A new driveway can be quite expensive but it also adds value to your home. Well maintained driveways show that you take pride in your home and makes it look welcoming.
An asphalt driveway is a popular choice and can look great when its first installed but without proper care it can look terrible pretty quickly. You should avoid spilling oil or grease because it can damage the surface. Make sure to clean up spills quickly. Once a week rinse the asphalt to remove grime and dirt. After the first year its installed inspect for any cracks or issues and have it sealcoated.
The key to keeping your concrete driveway looking great is with cleaning and sealing on a regular basis. Concrete driveways should be sealed every 2 years when you notice the finish is starting to wear off. 
A paver driveway while initially higher in cost to install has more long term value and its ease in repair or maintenance makes it one of your best choices for instant curb appeal. Paver driveways require minimum maintenance if there protected with a good sealer and polymeric sand. For the best appearance a paver sealer should be applied every few years..
