Professional Driveway Sealing
At Highland Surface Solutions, we provide professional driveway sealing services, with a strong focus on protecting and enhancing exposed aggregate concrete. Your driveway is more than just a place to park—it’s one of the first impressions visitors have of your home and a key part of your property’s overall value and curb appeal.
Over time, even the strongest concrete surfaces are exposed to harsh conditions that can take a toll. In the Canadian Rockies we deal with intense freeze-thaw cycles, heavy snow and ice, road salt, UV rays, and moisture that can quickly wear down unprotected concrete. These elements penetrate the surface, leading to issues like cracking, surface erosion, fading colour, staining, and premature deterioration. Left untreated, this damage doesn’t just affect the look of your driveway—it can result in expensive repairs or even full replacement down the road.
That’s where sealing makes the difference. A high-quality sealant acts as a protective shield, locking out water, salt, and stains while enhancing the natural beauty of exposed aggregate. It deepens the colour, adds a subtle sheen, and gives your driveway a fresh, polished appearance—all while significantly extending its lifespan.
By sealing your driveway regularly, you’re not only protecting your investment but also ensuring it continues to look its best year after year, even in the Rockie’s demanding climate.
Why Seal Your Driveway?
Protects Against the Elements
In Canmore, our driveways take a beating. Between harsh winters, constant freeze-thaw cycles, heavy snowmelt, and road salt, unsealed concrete is extremely vulnerable to damage. Water seeps into the surface, freezes, and expands—leading to cracks, scaling, and long-term deterioration. Sealing creates a protective barrier that locks out moisture, chemicals, and salt, preventing damage before it starts.
Resist Stains & Spills
Driveways face everyday challenges—oil drips, tire marks, dirt, and other spills. Unsealed surfaces absorb these stains, leaving permanent marks that are difficult to remove. A sealed driveway, however, repels liquids, making cleanup simple and keeping your driveway looking clean and well-maintained with far less effort.
Preserve & Enhance Appearance
Exposed aggregate is a beautiful finish, but without proper care, it can lose its colour and look dull or faded over time. A professional seal not only refreshes and enhances the natural tones and textures of your driveway but also provides a sleek, polished finish that instantly improves curb appeal. Sealing doesn’t just protect—it restores the look of your driveway to its best.
Increase Property Value
A well-maintained, freshly sealed driveway instantly boosts curb appeal, which can directly influence property value. For buyers, a clean, protected driveway signals that the home has been cared for, reducing concerns about costly repairs down the road. It’s a small investment that can pay off when it’s time to sell.
Extend the Lifespan of Your Driveway
Think of sealing as preventative maintenance for your driveway. Just like servicing a vehicle keeps it running longer, routine sealing strengthens and protects concrete, helping it withstand heavy use and tough weather conditions. By maintaining your driveway with regular sealing, you can add years to its life and avoid the significant cost of premature repairs or full replacement.
Safety & Functionality
A sealed driveway provides a smoother, more even surface that resists cracking, spalling, and crumbling. This not only makes it safer for walking and driving but also prevents hazards like uneven surfaces, loose stones, and ice buildup in cracks. A well-sealed driveway is stronger, safer, and more reliable year-round.
