Weeds growing in your driveway can be annoying and can create an unappealing look for your driveway. Weeds can widen cracks which can then weaken the structure of your driveway. Here’s how driveway sealing can prevent weed growth:
- Limits Moisture Access: Water acts as a carrier for seeds and is essential for weeds to grow. Sealing your driveway helps to eliminate the small cracks where moisture tends to pool, limiting access to water for weed growth.
- Blocking Sunlight: Most weeds need sunlight to grow. Sealant completely covers the surface of your driveway, protecting it from sunlight. If the seeds don’t get sunlight, they won’t grow.
- Creating a Smooth Surface: Driveway sealants help to smooth out imperfections like crevices which are one of the most common places for weeds to grow on your driveway.
