Cracks don’t wait for the perfect time to show up. They often begin as thin lines—barely visible. But after a season or two, those lines widen, letting in water, weeds, and frost. The result? Asphalt that breaks down piece by piece, often from the inside out. At Seal Coating By Sam’s Landscaping, our focus is simple: crack repair that actually lasts.
For more than a decade, we’ve worked alongside West Chester property owners who are tired of cracks coming back every spring. We’ve seen what failed repairs look like, and we’ve built our reputation on doing the opposite—honest work, clean technique, and materials that don’t give up under pressure. Every job we take on is done with a focus on your surface’s lifespan. We route deep when needed, use sealants designed for movement, and treat each crack as a real threat—not something to cover up with a temporary fix.
West Chester’s climate doesn’t do asphalt any favors. One day, it’s hot enough to soften the pavement. The next, rainwater slips into the smallest crevice and freezes by morning, pushing cracks open wider. That cycle repeats again and again until the damage multiplies. Our goal is to stop that pattern—right at the start.
Here’s how we approach every crack with purpose:
Each method we choose is based on what your surface actually needs—not a guess or one-size-fits-all approach.
These are often shrinkage cracks, caused by natural asphalt contraction or uneven settling. Sealing them early helps prevent wider failures. Larger ones may need routing and a flexible, long-lasting sealant.
Newly sealed or filled cracks often appear darker. With exposure to sun and rain, the repair gradually blends with the existing surface. If you’re planning to sealcoat soon, everything will match perfectly.
Before we arrive, clear the area of vehicles and overhanging branches. After we finish, avoid walking or driving on it for at least 24 hours—and steer gently to avoid scuffing the surface.
