What's the cheapest way to maintain an asphalt parking lot?
Crack filling and sealcoating are the least expensive ways to maintain asphalt, typically about $1.00 to $2.25 per linear foot for hot-pour crack sealing and $0.13 to $0.35 per square foot for sealcoating around Huntsville. Patching fixes potholes, while overlays and full replacement cost much more and address widespread failure.

Fix cracks before sealing
Sealcoat over open cracks won't stop water. Crack filling first extends pavement life.
When to consider an overlay
If large areas show alligator cracking or base failure, sealcoating won't help. Ask about overlays or reconstruction.
Ask contractors to assess
- Crack length and width.
- Potholes and soft areas.
- Drainage problems.
- Pavement age.
