LIFE EXPECTANCY OF ASPHALT PAVEMENTS
The consensus of the industry regarding the life expectancy of asphalt pavement is approximately 7-10 years without any maintenance. Home driveways may last 10-15 years, without maintenance. The life of asphalt pavement depends on the following factors.
• Pavement design( i. e. base, sub-base, drainage, asphalt mix, compaction, depth of the asphalt, etc.)
• The traffic bearing capacity
• Traffic frequency
• Exposure to damaging elements( e. g. de-icing salts, oil, grease, gasoline, fats, etc.)
• Maintenance( e. g. sealcoating, crack filling, patching, etc.) For the sake of understanding, the life of an asphalt pavement is the period during which it will preserve its strength to bear the traffic loads for which it is designed. For example, a commercial parking lot will need to be repaved after 7-8 years.
Life Cycle Cost Analysis: Sealcoating vs. No Sealcoating
To truly appreciate the economic value of sealcoating, let’ s conduct a simplified Life Cycle Cost Analysis. Life-Cycle Cost Analysis( LCCA) is a process for evaluating the economic worth of a pavement segment by analyzing initial costs and discounted future costs such as preventive maintenance, resurfacing, rehabilitation and reconstruction cost, over a defined analysis period. LCCA is only a tool in decision making process, it does not dictate the decision. Let’ s use the following parameters for the LCCA:
• Paving New Road: $ 4 / sq. ft
• Repaving: $ 2.5 / sq. ft
• Sealcoating: $ 0.15 / sq. ft
• Crack Filling & Striping: $ 0.05- $ 0.10 / ft( let’ s use an average of $ 0.075 / ft for calculation)
• Unsealcoated Pavement Repaved after 10 years.
• Sealcoated Pavement Repaved after 20 years.
• Repaving costs include crack filling and striping. Important Note: The numbers mentioned below are industry averages( as of November 2025), the numbers will be different based on a lot of factors, such as Geographic Location, Choice of Sealer, Contractor, etc.
