Pavement crack filling & sealing in Fredericton

About Our Pavement Sealing in Fredericton

For 37 years, Elite Landscaping Fredericton has provided professional pavement crack filling and sealing services designed to protect asphalt surfaces from the unique challenges of our local climate. Small cracks in a driveway or commercial parking lot are more than just an eyesore; they are the entry points for water, which leads to accelerated deterioration, especially during Fredericton's harsh freeze-thaw cycles. Our primary goal is pavement preservation. By addressing cracks early, we prevent moisture infiltration that erodes the sub-base, leading to potholes and widespread alligator cracking. Timely asphalt crack repair is the single most effective maintenance task you can perform to extend the life of your pavement and avoid the significant expense of premature replacement or major repairs. Our technical approach sets us apart from basic handyman services. We specialize in crack sealing using commercial-grade, hot-applied rubberized sealant. Unlike inferior cold-pour fillers that shrink and pop out, our hot-applied material bonds deeply within the crack and remains flexible in extreme temperatures. In our experience, the key to a lasting repair is proper preparation. For most working cracks (those that expand and contract), we perform crack routing with a specialized routing saw. This process creates a clean, uniform reservoir with vertical walls, allowing the sealant to adhere properly and form a durable, watertight barrier. This meticulous preparation ensures the rubberized sealant can withstand the constant movement of the pavement, providing a seal that lasts for years, not months. Working across Fredericton, from Southwood Park to Nashwaaksis, we've seen firsthand how our climate impacts asphalt. Pavement cracking after winter is a common issue for local property owners. Snowplows, de-icing salts, and the constant freezing and thawing put immense stress on asphalt surfaces. Without a protective seal, water seeps into the base layer, freezes, expands by about 9%, and breaks the pavement apart from below. This cycle is the primary cause of potholes and base layer damage.
