Sealcoating in Three Rivers —
cheap insurance for asphalt.
If sealcoating is on your list in Three Rivers, you don’t need a contractor on every corner — you need one worth the drive. Our yard is in Fresno, Three Rivers is about an hour and a quarter southeast, and we’ve been making that trip since 1990.
Three Rivers lines the Kaweah River on the road into Sequoia National Park — river cabins, lodges and foothill homes strung along Highway 198.
The work is all terrain: driveways that climb from the highway to view lots, lodge and restaurant parking that peaks with park season, and drainage that has to respect a canyon that actually gets rain.
The canyon actually gets weather — twenty-plus inches in a good year — so Three Rivers driveways are drainage projects that happen to be paved. Culvert sizing and cross-slopes come first; asphalt is the finish, not the fix.
Around Three Rivers, canyon driveways climbing from Highway 198 to view lots, lodge parking that peaks with Sequoia traffic, and drainage that matters. We know the roads (Highway 198) and the ground — and both matter more to a paving quote than most people think.
Sealcoat in Three Rivers
What sealcoating does here.
Commercial-grade sealer applied to protect asphalt from the two things the Central Valley has in abundance: UV and heat. Valley sun oxidizes unsealed asphalt gray and brittle years ahead of schedule; a proper sealcoat cycle keeps the binder flexible and the surface black, and costs a fraction of the repaving it postpones.
How the work goes down.
Surface prep first — cleaning, oil-spot priming, and crack treatment — because sealer over dirt is money over nothing. Two coats standard, sprayed or squeegeed to match the surface, striping re-laid after cure. For parking lots we phase sections so the property never fully closes.

Sealcoat questions
Asked before every
Three Rivers job.
How often should asphalt be sealcoated here?
In the Valley: 2–3 years for commercial lots, 3–5 for residential driveways. The sun here is harder on asphalt than the traffic is.
Is sealcoating worth it on an old driveway?
It depends what's under it. Sealer protects sound asphalt beautifully, but it won't glue a failing surface back together — if the driveway is alligatored or soft, that money belongs in repair or repaving. We'll tell you which at the estimate, free.
