Asphalt is naturally porous, allowing water to seep into its surface, leading to cracks, potholes, and deterioration over time. Sealcoating adds a protective layer that prevents moisture from penetrating and causing damage. This layer acts as a shield, ensuring your driveway stays durable and resilient—even when autumn leaves begin to fall.

It’s common for leaves, pine needles, or small twigs to settle on your driveway after sealcoating. Most debris will naturally blow away with a breeze or during routine cleaning. If a leaf does stick to the surface before the sealer is fully cured, it’s easy to remove without causing damage. Regular sweeping or light rinsing can keep your driveway clear of organic matter and looking its best.

Fall is a popular season for sealcoating, as cooler temperatures and moderate weather allow the sealant to dry and cure effectively. While falling leaves may seem like an issue, professional contractors plan for these conditions, ensuring your driveway is properly prepped and finished. If you have a lot of trees nearby, consider scheduling your sealcoating in late spring or early summer to avoid peak leaf fall.
