Mowed and weed eated today, that should get me to August ? Keep up the good work. It has been so hot and dry here I haven't mowed for two weeks now. We are supposed to be getting some rain over the weekend. I can't help @gimruis with his driveway. Mine is concrete. On 7/1/2022 at 7:42 PM, Bird said: ? Had a feeling that was coming.

Super User gim Posted August 18, 2022 Author Super User Posted August 18, 2022 Had my asphalt driveway sealed a couple days ago. Looks pristine again! Combined with some good soaking rains lately and some cooler temps, my lawn is turning into a golf course. 1 Quote

I wonder why some areas go one way and some the other? hmmm Concrete driveways cost significantly more, but obviously its a better long term solution. This house was built in 1998 so I'm sure its not the original driveway. I would prefer concrete myself but since this one had asphalt that was in good shape, tearing it out and replacing with concrete really made no sense. My last house was brand new in 2012 and I was the only owner until I sold it in May. I never had that driveway sealed but in 2016 I had a new 1 inch overlay added. Quote

It’ll flex and move with the ground and last long than concrete. Plus, it’s usually cheaper. Concrete does two things 1: hardens 2: cracks 1 Quote
Super User gim Posted August 19, 2022 Author Super User Posted August 19, 2022 I've received over 3.5 inches of rain in the past 48 hours and there is more on the way today/tomorrow @12poundbass. I may honestly not have to run my new sprinkler system the rest of the season here. Hey @Bird, I think its time to spiffy up your property. Reseal your driveway, mow the lawn, and give it some curb appeal! 1 Quote
