23K likes on a driveway sealing video, it's very good, simple, clear, quick, you don't beat dead horses, you clarify if something is your opinion, love it, thank you.
Just a little bit of advice. When you're mixing water and with an additive, put the water in first then the additive. It won't froth up as it did with you. Good video thanks!.
I worked for a guy that did this on the side. We used to wear cleats so we didn’t have to worry about making shoe prints while walking around. Seemed pretty effective.
Nah, I worked in an Asphalt industry and the customers came with their trucks to fill it with sealers and put it on people houses. They make over 100k per year if they work well.
It's perfect! I seal driveways and yes, we paint the edges where the squeegee can't reach or the asphalt butts up to concrete, rocks or edging that we can't walk on afterward. To get a crisp edge at the street use tape to get a clean edge. Good job! Yes, it's satisfying to watch!
@@kmeadow0 no this is asphalt sealer. You should ask a concrete person about coloring options. Maybe a skim coat of cement that is tinted black would be your best choice, but ask a pro.
Wow. This video is over a year old and you are still responding to comments. Mad respect for you and I will be doing this to my driveway as well. Thank you!
I appreciate anyone that takes the time to comment on my videos Josh and feel it is my responsibility to at least reply in some way if I can. Thank you for noticing. Good luck on your project and hope you subscribed.
The blue tape is a must. I do my driveway every year and mask it off by my garage. I hired a sealcoat company to do it this year because I got lazy. They sprayed it on and did not broom or squeegee it in. I will be redoing it before fall as their process did not fill the cracks at all. Lesson learned.
You gave me the confidence to do this myself. Didn’t buy enough the first time and the 2nd bucket did not blend as well!! But oh well still looks great. Thank you!!
This is great! I love that you seem to do all of the same projects I need to do, so I'm learning a lot. I noticed your garage floor looks a little rough, much like mine. Decent shape, but could use a little love to keep it lasting for years to come. Do you have any plans to resurface the concrete at all? I plan to resurface and put down some epoxy paint. Thanks for the great videos!
Thanks for the support Shea. Yep my garage floor will get a make over for sure in the future. Not sure when it will be but I assure you it is in the works haha. Thanks for watching.
Hey man, love your videos. So many diy channels/videos assume a level of pre-knowledge or fail to show a project from start to finish. Thanks for taking the time to go into the nitty gritty. I hope you’re able to make some money off this stuff.
“Accumulated over a year, I don’t know how this stuff accumulates so quickly, but it does.” A year may not qualify as “quickly.” Nice video. I enjoy seeing the process and watching a homeowner do it themselves. Good job.
Coming from a guy who does asphalt sealing as a job this looks great. I do recommend that you seal in a back and forth type way so that you cover everything twice from opposing angles. With a newer driveway such as yours it isn't as worn and pitted so it didn't matter as much ,but as time goes on if you were to only seal from the one angle some spots will not get hit with sealer. Also check if your sealing products contain Coal-Tar, this is a known carcinogen (cancer causing) element. If possible use a Coal-Tar free Asphalt Emulsion. Works just as well without the risk. There is more too I could say ,but as a DIY this is top level.
I have sealed multiple driveways myself, and i find that the paintbrush for edging is fine, also I do squeegee, but I add a step, I take a rough surface roller and I roll the sealer. This gives the driveway a unified coat, but also eliminates the lines you get from the squeegee. You don’t have to do it but I like the look after rolling.
Thanks for asking Max. If you garage is indoors and not out in the elements then I would say no. The sealer I used mainly helps to protect the asphalt from seasonal weather changes. Thanks for watching and keep up the great work on your channel.
@@BYOTools Ah I see. The asphalt is very easy since you don´t see any dirt and stains, but on the other side it is also not as nice and smooth as epoxy.
WOW! Getting respect from the Pros doesn't come very often with my driveway sealing video. Thanks so much and keep up the great work on your channel bud. Your squeegee skills are AMAZING!
Just a suggestion I do this for a living and one way to save from bending so much is to use a cheap synthetic broom from the dollar store instead of using a paint brush. Plus it makes it a lot easier if you seal the edges of driveway first and then seal the rest as you showed in the video.
@ Michael ... are you still in the business? you are probably not in my area (upstate NY) but wondering if you could comment on pricing by a professional. my driveway is approx 2200 sq feet. alternatively, could you advise what is the best sealant a homeowner should use? also, I have a significant crack running through the width of the driveway, what is the best way to fill it (it is not that wide of a crack). Tx!
You did a great job. I like seeing people try to do things they have no idea what they are doing but it comes out beautiful. This is what can happen when you actually try as opposed to saying thats to hard i cant do it and hire someone who does a half butt job. Stay motivated
I watched a few videos on youtube on how to do it. I did it right before I moved into the house and it came out well. I did a simple 1-stage epoxy. I cleaned, degreased, sealed all cracks and then rolled it on. Came out great am I am glad I spent the extra 2-3hrs doing it now before I moved in. Now the garage is full of boxes and stuff lol.
@@BYOTools Hey man, you should check out Rubber Stone for your garage floor. Lots of possibilities with colors or just go with black to match your sexy driveway.
Hey man, quick tip for if you decide to seal your driveway again, wear waterproof rubber boots and after say you edge and seal the top half of your driveway, walk back up to the top and do a finish brush going side to side down the driveway, sealing over your footprints as you go down and then repeat the process after the second half is edged and sealed. It makes it have a lot cleaner looking finish. Great video though you gave some great tips!
HAHA! I just watched his video and it was great. However, if he can do my driveway for $135 he is hired on the SPOT at my house LOL! Thanks for watching DMI and hope you enjoyed the video.
Thanks! Buying a house with two driveways from a seller that ignored the home's needs for the last year and half. 😬 Lots of little jobs to get it where it needs to be and this is one!
Just watched your video. Here's a tip; drill a hole thru the center of lid large enough for mixing paddle to go thru , put mixing paddle thru lid and into bucket ;put lid back on can,close lid stir up and down to mix. No mess....
At 5:38 you say "And it's not going to be reusable, trust me." (The squeegee) That is not true. Just a friendly FYI for everyone. Yes, you can reuse it. I have a very large driveway and I ended up doing it over several weekends. All you need to do is rinse the sealer off with water. I also used a putty knife to carefully scrape off any residue that wouldn't easily rinse off and yes, I was using the same exact sealer as in this video. Otherwise, good layman's terms video.
💥💥 5:26. Oh man. You were kicking ass on the neatness of your cut in and taping and all until you splashed it on the concrete apron. Great vid, thank you. 🤟🏼
You don’t need a degreaser. You don’t need half of the stuff he is using. Go to professionals not a TH-cam video to do this. Professionals don’t go to Home Depot and get sealed they get it straight from the plant it’s made from. Never get the driveway sprayed they only use 25% material and the rest is just water. One last thing you can always reuse the squeegee just make sure the rubber doesn’t stay bent when it is stored it will stay bent, and their not cheap. But all in all go to professionals to get an amazing job. This video is good to see how much your job will cost if your really new and you haven’t been quoted. the company explains how the job will be completed and how long to stay off of the driveway.
The plant doesn’t make the shit my friend they simply put it in your tank lol and everyone sprays them now ! Just because you can’t afford the sprayer doesn’t mean the other guys can’t ! With a broom your job would do the same thing this guy did !!!!
It looks great but I was wondering about the streaks left in it after it dried. Is there a way to prevent them? It reminds me of paint and when it flashes.
I live in the Seattle area too, we get plenty of rain but not heavy rain. It's mostly a light drizzle. If the drain was installed properly it should be able to handle quite a bit of water.
It held up great for a couple of years and it is still in tacked, but in all honesty the sides are slowly crumbling away now just through where and tare. Thanks for watching Bardia and hope you subscribed.
Idk why people are saying it looks terrible or it should be done by a professional. IT'S A DIY PEOPLE. This was a great video, atleast he has a smoother driveaway.
nice job. three pointers. 1. to stop future weeds coming in. bury a timber or plastic strip at least 100mm deep at the edge of the driveway to prevent grass coming under the driveway from the lawn. use weedkiller on the grass already coming through, and leave it for 2-3 weeks to ensure the roots are dead. 2. do NOT use a petroleum based degreaser as it will eat into the existing bitumen - it will dissolve the binding agent in the bitumen. use a detergent based degreaser. 3. The cold mix material you laid for the drainage is a great idea as well as the sealer you put under it as a binding agent. however, the cold mix is made by adding a small amount of a petroleum agent such as diesel to the bitumen in the cold mix to keep it supple (in the factory). it is best laid when there is sunlight. stretch it out and let the sun warm/soften it a bit more , then place and tamp it exactly as you did (or you can cut and dig a small trench and place it into the trench to prevent the possibility of it shifting when you drive over it. once laid, sweep a very small quantity of sand over it to lighten the colour (absorbs less heat from the sun and wont stay as soft) and eliminate surface tackiness. leave for 2-3 weeks for the diesel to evaporate - then seal it as you did. you will get a sturdier job. well done.
Nice video! I need to do a concrete overlay on my driveway.i live in Southern California and need to get it done. Have you ever done a concrete overlay ? If so which products do you recommend? Thanks
Great to hear deven. I’m in the states and I just got it at our local Hone Depot. I know amazon sells it as well but not sure if Amazon UK has it. Check and let me know what you find. Thanks for watching and hope you subscribed.
Do u no the hassle it would be to spray 200 cans of flex seal when u can use a 2 5 gallon buckets of the real asphalt driveway sealer cost 40 bucks ?? Lol
You are making this seem a lot harder then it is anyone could fucking do it cause guess what in a few weeks it’s just gonna look the same as the old one but with no holes.
We are far from crooks. Have you worked over 14 hours in a day of nothing but wire-brooming or using a wire-wheel? Spraying a full 1000 gallons of sealcoat on the grand? Us in the sealcoat business are far from crooks.
@@hammy1770 no seal coat has sand and clay in it. The sand and clay is used to adhere to the asphalt and to fill in the rock. So seal coat tanks have big agitators in it to mix the sand and clay. This stuff he is using is what you call driveway dressing. Pretty much a paint that makes it look good but does not help the driveway in terms of longevity. Seal will fill in the bumps and help your asphalt last better.
Thanks! Going to try to do this myself too. Hopefully turns out as well as yours! I’m mainly leaving a comment so I can let you know I appreciated the Boondock Saints reference. “Where you goin’? Nowhere…” 😂😂😂
I know this was posted last year, but some advise. I work with sealcoat everyday for the spring and summer, next time I encourage you to try a sealcoat broom. Its the same thing as the squeegee, just easier to evenly seal thoughs tight corners. Plus after you are done with is soak in diesel or was with water right after(depends on if using water-based sealer) to use for next time. Real money saver. Everone is different and have other opinions on tools to use for this job. Just want to help you😊

Thanks for the detailed tips Evan. I'll have to remember this next time I do a seal coat. Thanks for watching and the support.
My perants haven’t done this in 13 year. no joke

Nice video! I need to do a concrete overlay on my driveway.i live in Southern California and need to get it done. Have you ever done a concrete overlay ? If so which products do you recommend? Thanks
I misread that as “diy driveway stealing” boy was I wrong
Haha ya a little off on that one. Hope you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching Adyn.
Brilliant tutorial, well done sir.
Greetings from Cumbria in the U.K.
Stay safe and well.
I was expecting help buuuuuuut, it turns out my wife loves our dog more than me.
Great job boss but can I ask you where can you get this stuff please & what’s the cost I’m in uk
Great to hear deven. I’m in the states and I just got it at our local Hone Depot. I know amazon sells it as well but not sure if Amazon UK has it. Check and let me know what you find. Thanks for watching and hope you subscribed.
Why don’t you just buy 200 cans of flex seal and some flex tape
Do u no the hassle it would be to spray 200 cans of flex seal when u can use a 2 5 gallon buckets of the real asphalt driveway sealer cost 40 bucks ?? Lol
I would have loved to see your water diverter thingy!
Maybe You Should Fix your Grass First & Then Your Driveway .
Juan Hernandez stop being a bitch he just made a helpful vid on fixing his driveway

I am not sure why I am watching this and why youtube recommend me this but I really enjoyed it and watched the whole thing.
a professionally done driveway would have looked a lot better it saves money but some things should be left to pros
You are making this seem a lot harder then it is anyone could fucking do it cause guess what in a few weeks it’s just gonna look the same as the old one but with no holes.
You’re the kind of guy who pays people to do the most simple things, I can tell.
@@HighTopMyers lol the stuff he is using is not "real" sealcoat my man. Its what you call driveway dressing. Just makes it look black again.
Yes he should’ve left it to the professionals this will not last and looks terrible
Dude you can say that about any DIY.
Hello from Yorkton, Saskatchewan, Canada. Thanks for sharing your great video’s please keep them coming.
How about pay the extra cash and have someone else do it also us sealcoaters don’t use that cheap garbage sold in stores
Sometimes people ask to much for services. Therefore the people do it themselves
Because you guys are crooks.
We are far from crooks. Have you worked over 14 hours in a day of nothing but wire-brooming or using a wire-wheel? Spraying a full 1000 gallons of sealcoat on the grand? Us in the sealcoat business are far from crooks.
@@joelridley4260 ahh yes a bensink my worst enemy. Glad i am not a runt anymore and not using that thing.
Same here this latex shit isn’t close to as good ascoal tar
Very encouraging video, now I want to try it myself.
Thats exactly why i made the video :) Great to hear and thanks so much for watching.
That shit dont work its just paint
Read.
its a seal not paint
Its goign to wear off in about 3 years
@@hammy1770 no seal coat has sand and clay in it. The sand and clay is used to adhere to the asphalt and to fill in the rock. So seal coat tanks have big agitators in it to mix the sand and clay. This stuff he is using is what you call driveway dressing. Pretty much a paint that makes it look good but does not help the driveway in terms of longevity. Seal will fill in the bumps and help your asphalt last better.

Thanks! Going to try to do this myself too. Hopefully turns out as well as yours! I’m mainly leaving a comment so I can let you know I appreciated the Boondock Saints reference. “Where you goin’? Nowhere…” 😂😂😂
Nice job around the rocks and drain
Thanks IB.
This video is so therapeutic.
Bruh, My dad did this one time and it didn't work so I researched on TH-cam how to do it and it came up with this thankyou so so much👍
Great to hear Dojo. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel.
Watching it being spread around is so satisfying LOL
BYOT you got good with edging near the end there Good Man
I'm a quick learner Christopher haha!!! Thanks for watching and hope you subscribed.
I know this was posted last year, but some advise. I work with sealcoat everyday for the spring and summer, next time I encourage you to try a sealcoat broom. Its the same thing as the squeegee, just easier to evenly seal thoughs tight corners. Plus after you are done with is soak in diesel or was with water right after(depends on if using water-based sealer) to use for next time. Real money saver. Everone is different and have other opinions on tools to use for this job. Just want to help you😊
Good job, buddy. Your driveway looks great. 👍
Great to hear Chris and thanks so much for watching. Hope you subscribed.
Thanks for taking the time to create this great video. 👍🇺🇸
Idk why I’m watching this but it was satisfying
instead of those fancy brooms can you use just a normal pushbroom from home depot?
Where did you buy that attachment you used on your cordless drill to mix up your ultra shield ? 4:09
Here is a link for the attachment I used. Thanks for asking and hope you enjoyed the video. amzn.to/3dJfbYF
BYOT much appreciated man, I really did enjoy the video thank you for making it. Do you know where I can buy cheap and cheerful cordless drill ?
@@Momo-yl3hs Great to hear. I suggest getting a high quality brand name drill because a good drill is worth its weight in gold. Here is one for $100. amzn.to/3612vcT Hope you subscribed.
