Yes. The problem with asphalt around here is the freeze/thaw cycle. It is almost daily from November to March. Any crack will admit some moisture that freezes and thaws daily expanding the crack. Sealing is problematic because of reduced traction on the 20-23% grade. They can add sand to the sealer for traction. I don’t know how well it works or if it affects durability. I am hoping the asphalt lasts 10-15 years. I should be out of the woodworking biz by then.
