When I first started my own sealcoating business many, many years ago, I was the guy shaking buckets of sealcoat between my legs and using brushes to sealcoat driveways. A lot has changed since then, and I know how important it is to have the right equipment for your sealcoating and asphalt maintenance projects. This is why I built the Asphalt Kingdom Sealcoating Equipment store and have been on a mission to select the best available equipment and tools. I also personally work with several manufacturers to increase operator safety, high performance, and ergonomics.

Must Have: Sealcoating equipment needed for surface preparation
I've put together this table below to show the different types of surface cleaning equipment you’ll need to prepare an asphalt surface for sealcoating and their estimated prices. Asphalt preparation is a necessary step to ensure your sealcoating project is successful. Why? It provides a clean surface for the sealcoat to adhere to. Dusty or dirty surfaces can lead to the sealcoat flaking off — make sure you're getting the best possible results by preparing the asphalt properly.
Effective in removing grease, oil, gas drips, and leaks on your asphalt surface. This eco-friendly degreaser penetrates the asphalt and protects the surface from further damage caused by these drips.
From my experience with sealcoating, there are several key things to have with you on the job. The table below breaks down the different types of sealcoating equipment & supplies you’ll need for sealcoating projects, including their estimated average cost.
Filling in small fissures, an asphalt sealer prevents water and ice from causing damage to your asphalt. It protects it from the elements and usually has a black matte finish that adds curb appeal.
$5-$15 per gallon varies by location, type & quality
Most people are tempted to apply an asphalt sealant to cover cracks. However, cracks will soon turn into potholes, forcing you to shed money for repairs. A crack pour pot helps fill cracks at walking speed, either with liquid crackfiller or with hot rubber crackfiller. It helps pour crack sealer even in hard to get areas, helping you save time and reduce waste.
A sealcoating machine helps apply the sealer in the fastest and least expensive way. Simple versions allow you to spray directly from a drum or tote, while more advanced versions are welded onto trailers.
For small areas like a residential driveway, you can use a squeegee or a brush to apply the sealant. Sometimes, it’s specified on the sealant's label which tool is best to use.
Achieve quick one-person sealcoat edging with this accessory that attaches to your sealcoating system's spray wand. Lightweight and prevents overspray.
$300-$450
Cardboard and Tape
Block off and protect curbs, lawns, sidewalks, and anything else you don’t want to be stained by the sealer.
This basket, used with the brush box, soaks your spray tips to clean them.
$50-$70
Besides the equipment and tools above, I also recommend having a bucket of clean water and sponges or hand towels in case you need to clean off any sealer from your skin. Since many states and provinces have banned the use of coal tar sealers, which has a burning effect on skin, this is not as required as it used to be. However, it's always nice to have some water handy to wipe off any sealer or residue from your skin and hands.
What Are the Best Homeowners' Asphalt Sealing Tools?
If you want to keep asphalt looking clean and in good condition, it must be sealed on a regular basis to prevent the onset of decay and cracking. A professional grade asphalt sealer and the right sealcoating equipment is necessary for driveways, paths, parking lots, and virtually anything paved with asphalt. Most asphalt experts recommend that it be sealed approximately every two to three years. Oil stains, cracks, and potholes should be repaired as soon as possible to prevent further asphalt deterioration.
Asphalt is made up of rock, sand, tar and bitumen and starts out as a dense liquid that is able to move with the ground rather than cracking. Over time the asphalt surface dries out and loses its flexible properties. The sun basically cooks (dries out or oxidizes) the liquids right out of the asphalt surface.
This process does not happen overnight, but as everyone knows, asphalt is very black when it is first laid. Over time, it turns greyish in color. This graying process is called "oxidization". The asphalt liquids have been cooked out, leaving only dried out tar and bitumen on the surface.
If you have a brand new asphalt surface you have a major advantage, as it is has not been oxidized and dried out YET! It is time for asphalt sealcoating... but, make sure to use an excellent asphalt sealer before it greys and dries out!
If you have an old asphalt surface that is grey and dried out, it is still important to protect it from the elements. If you don't do it now it will ONLY get more dry and therefore become more fragile and need replacing before that of a sealcoated driveway.
There are a variety of asphalt sealing tools, from brushes and brooms to squeegees. Asphalt Kingdom's Driveway Sealcoating Package offers these asphalt sealing tools and supplies for homeowners to do it yourself.
Once the asphalt sealcoating has been done, it creates a barrier against the natural outdoor elements (sun, rain, snow, etc.) and is the one that takes the abuse rather than your asphalt surface.
Aside from protecting your driveway from needing repaving, sealcoating also improves your home's curb appeal.
Driveway Sealcoating Package
When you're looking to sealcoat your home's driveway yourself, your first thought is probably to check out your local big box stores. Who doesn't love the convenience of being able to pick up a few buckets of sealer, a brush, and being able to start as soon as you get home?
The problem with this scenario is that the quality of the big box store sealer is inferior and you can see some durability issues. When I started my own driveway sealcoating business, that's how I operated! I bought sealer from the local hardware store in the 5-gallon pails until I had the capital and the knowledge to upgrade to spray systems and commercial-grade sealer.
With that in mind, I've put together this Driveway Sealcoating Package for homeowners who want to protect their pavement investment.
Want to shop for yourself? Check out my recommendations below or give my team members a call at 1-866-399-5562.
Asphalt Emulsion Sealer is the product most commonly used for driveways and other small areas of residential asphalt. It protects against sun exposure, rain, snow, ice, and even tree roots. Remember to mix or shake it well before application. The consistency of the asphalt sealer should look thick. The product can be applied with a brush or squeegee, but with professional sealcoating equipment, the time involved with sealing asphalt can be reduced dramatically.
A sealcoating spray system is the easiest way to seal a large expanse of asphalt and is the most frequently used type of sealcoating equipment that the professionals use. However, if you have a small driveway, a squeegee may be just what you need to get your driveway protected.
The free course will teach you everything you need to know about your pavement, and will give you helpful tips on what asphalt repair products are required and how to effectively seal your driveway. You'll learn the right techniques for preparing your driveway before you seal, how to fill asphalt cracks, and how to use asphalt sealcoating equipment properly.
What are the different sealcoating equipment packages?
I have put together our asphalt maintenance packages to include the equipment and supplies you need for a successful DIY project or for a thriving pavement asset management business.
Our sealcoating equipment packages are available in a variety of budgets. We have packages for weekend warriors, for entrepreneurs looking to make this into their day job, and for the successful business owner looking to do it all at the highest level.
Shop online or call us at 1-866-399-5562 to customize your package.
How much would different sealcoating supplies' sizes cover
Asphalt sealer comes in a variety of different packaging options. It comes in 5-gallon pails, 55 gallon drums, 275 gallon totes, as well as bulk deliveries.
Coverage is highly dependent on how you are applying the sealer. Using a brush or squeegee uses more sealer, as it creates a semi-thick layer that spreads into the tiny cracks in the pavement. With sealcoat spraying, an even spray applies the sealer across the pavement and it uses less material.
Another factor in sealcoating coverage is the age of the asphalt. Older oxidized asphalt will absorb sealer, like it's trying to rehydrate after drying out in the sun. Newer asphalt that's still black won't need to absorb the sealer, so you will use less of it in sealcoating.
Some asphalt sealants also come in concentrated form, meaning you can add water to dilute it and get more coverage. Asphalt emulsion sealers and some specific sealers may need to be used as-is, because their formulas are ready-to-use or can have negative effects if any additives or water are added. Always check the label or manufacturer's description to see whether you can add water or additives.
Need asphalt sealer in bulk? When your business needs to have sealer on hand for a full sealcoating season of large commercial projects, you can save time, gas, and money by having a bulk tank. We see our most successful contractors do this so they're fully stocked on sealer and can tackle any job that comes their way.
When you need to fill up your bulk tank or get it refilled, we can deliver bulk tankers of sealer to job sites or to your place of business. You'll be able to use the actual tanker on the job site to put it in your spray system and start applying sealer.
How do I use a sealcoat sprayer machine?
A sealcoat sprayer machine can be a very powerful addition to your sealcoating project. I have a video from about 10 years ago where I showed how you can sealcoat a driveway in under eight minutes.
Now when you're spraying sealer, you'll want to protect all the borders first. Cut any grass that overhangs the asphalt so it doesn't interfere with the spray. Do all your trim work by sealing along the edges. You can either do this with your sprayer very carefully or manually with a brush. It's no different than painting a wall.
Do all the cutting work first, and then do the main body. You'll be fast as a flash. A sealcoating and spraying system can literally spray along the edges as somebody is holding a board, a 1/8 sheet of plywood, or you can get a hold of one of our awesome sealcoat edgers that attach to the gun, and you can spray all the edges protecting it at walking speed, as a one man show.
So when you're spraying sealer, just remember, make sure to overlap, halfway on top of your original pattern, and then back the same way, basically doing two thin coats in one.
How do I properly apply asphalt sealer?
If you're applying the sealer by hand, go ahead and take five gallon pails, or if you're pouring out of one of your spraying systems, pour puddles of it, and literally squeegee and brush it back towards you, making sure you get an even coat. Don't leave a lot of excess sealer, because that's susceptible to drying out in the sun and cracking on that surface. So make sure to squeegee and rack properly.
We do advise to sealcoat with spray systems. You'll always have the best outcome.
Identifying whether or not you need one or two coats of sealer is really quite easy. If you need one coat, it's because the asphalt was just recently paved, or recently sealed, usually within a year or two. So then it would only need one coat.
How many coats of sealcoating material to use?
If you need two coats, it's because the asphalt's extremely porous, gray, and aged, at which point, we'd recommend applying one coat of sealer, letting it dry over 24 hours, and then applying a second coat. That way, you're sure to put down a proper application of sealer, protecting that asphalt investment. Two coats can also be used on highly trafficked areas such as parking lots.
Seal coating takes a little bit of practice, but once you've got it down after a few hours, it's really easy to do.
Sealcoat Business Opportunity
Who knows? You may just discover that you enjoyed sealing your asphalt so much that you want to start your own sealcoating business. Whether you are looking for a part-time business to provide extra income or you're thinking about opening your own full-time asphalt sealcoat business, Asphalt Kingdom has exactly the right information, asphalt products, sealcoating equipment, and business coaching you will want to make your business a success.
Earn Profits
With your own sealcoating business, you can rapidly make at least $300-$700 in profit daily while being able to work outside and set your own hours. Some contractors even make more than $1,000 a day with various service offerings.
For contractors, having the necessary asphalt repair machines to produce fast, professional results is an absolute necessity. Far too many individuals start their business with little else than a couple of buckets of asphalt sealer, a squeegee, and a pickup truck (just like I did decades ago). However, they quickly find out that they're losing money and not seeing the desired results they need to earn a good living in the asphalt industry. This very scenario is what has put many, many contractors out of business before they actually had an opportunity for real success.
Also, pricing is a very important consideration for your services. Knowing what to charge for your asphalt maintenance services is vital to your business succeeding. Sign up for our free Pricing Course here.
For individuals still in the planning stage of developing their asphalt repair and maintenance business, we highly recommend one of our asphalt business packages.

We make it easy for you to learn how to make money with our turnkey business solution.
Contractor and Professional-Grade Equipment
When I started my asphalt repair and sealcoating business, there weren't websites that allowed you to shop for sealcoating equipment online. I've built Asphalt Kingdom to have all of the equipment any asphalt maintenance business needs to do sealcoating, crack repair, pothole patching, and line striping. I've also poured my time and energy into building valuable business resources, like the AK Vault.
Sealcoat Sprayers
Unlike other equipment that has limited uses, asphalt sealer spray machines are versatile enough to be used on all asphalt surfaces from residential driveways and walkways to parking lots and roads.
When determining what equipment you should invest in when just starting your asphalt paving business, it can be confusing to determine what pieces to initially purchase. Very few contractors start with enough capital to purchase everything they need. Thus, it's a smart business decision to buy only those items that will generate income the quickest that will deliver the greatest profit. Sealing equipment is simply the most profit-generating pieces of equipment that an asphalt contractor can purchase.
Unlike other segments of the asphalt paving industry that have declined with the slowdown of the economy and market forces, the demand for sealcoating has actually increased. This is primarily due to the fact that more commercial and residential property owners are choosing to maintain existing asphalt instead of replacing it with new material.
The best way to protect the long-term condition of asphalt is by keeping it properly sealed. With commercial-grade equipment, contractors can generate steady work from property owners looking to save money. At Asphalt Kingdom, we have asphalt sealer spray machines in a variety of sizes to fit your specific business needs. All deliver professional results and are easy to use. You can call my team at 1-866-399-5562 for free advice on which spray system would be the best for you.
Crack repair is essential to a sealcoating job that lasts. If there are fissures in the asphalt, water can trickle down and erode the foundation. By repairing or sealing asphalt cracks, the sealcoat has a crack-free surface to adhere to.
The first step in crack repair is to clean the crack. For crack cleaning, I highly recommend our Heat Lance. Unlike other crack cleaning tools, Asphalt Kingdom's Crack Jet is ideal for cold and wet weather conditions. I also recommend the Hedgehog Asphalt Cleaner, which routs cracks and can edge lawns so driveway projects don't have grass blocking the sealcoat.
Our RY10 PRO two-in-one crackfill melter applicator is the most essential tool for anyone wanting to use rubberized crack filler. This crack repair machine melts the blocks and applies it directly to asphalt cracks. The RY10 PRO is a convenient cart that squeegees the melted filler as you walk and apply the crackfill. Made of heavy gauge steel and double powder-coated for a professional look, the RY10 PRO should be in every asphalt contractor's equipment line.
Parking lot lines are everywhere and for a good reason! They help organize a parking lot and are necessary for ADA-compliant parking spots.
We carry a range of line stripers for any parking lot owner looking to do their own parking lot lines and for any contractor who paints parking lots, athletic fields, airports, and factory floors. We carry both Titan PowrLiner Line Striping Machines and Graco Painting Machines.
There are always ways to improve, and sealcoating is no exception! From a filter kit that reduces downtime due to clogs, to a trigger gun that gives you precision control and speed, all the way to the caution ribbon to protect your driveway, we've got you covered. Parts and accessories are an essential part of getting the sealcoating job done, so don't forget to factor in this part of asphalt sealcoating equipment.
Buying Asphalt Sealcoating Equipment? Buy From An Expert
Maybe you've had this experience too: you wander into your local grocery store and there, between the bananas and cherry cola, there's a whole new section carrying clothes, makeup, pots and pans . . . none of it very good quality, but all of it conveniently located right there.
If you're like me, you took a look the first time . . . and then . . . never again. Why? Because I know that if I want to buy products that last, I need to buy them from an expert.
The same holds true when you're shopping for Asphalt Sealcoating Equipment. Sure, you could go to a store that sells everything from go-karts to blue jeans, and get a low-priced sprayer, but you're not getting the quality that a company who specializes is going to give you.
Just like you wouldn't buy your computer at a drugstore, don't buy an asphalt spray system from any one other than a professional, reputable company that knows what they're talking about. Remember, if something goes wrong on the job site, you want to be able to call someone who knows the equipment you're using inside and out, and who can get you up and running FAST.
Wherever you choose to take your business, make sure that the company stands behind their products with an iron-clad warranty and free service. If there is any doubt that a company is reputable, steer clear! Remember 'lowest price' and 'highest quality' rarely go hand in hand. Research online, read testimonials, and pick up the phone and call the company you are thinking of buying from - if they won't talk to you before you buy, they certainly won't after they have your money!
Insist on doing business with someone in the industry, and you also open yourself up to all kinds of extras you may not have thought of - helpful tips and advice you can use in your daily work, a trusted source when you need new or hard-to-find equipment, reminders when it's time to stock up or spring clean . . . the kind of thing that comes from dealing with a reliable company.
