You would never spend good money on a beautiful new home and then allow the outside elements to destroy it. So why are you letting the sunlight, weather and traffic destroy your parking lot?
Just as you paint the dap-boards on a new house to seal up and protect the structure, sealcoating a sound pavement will cause it to have a much longer life than that of an unsealed pavement. Even on a weak pavement, sealcoating will preserve the elastic and adhesive characteristics of the asphaltic binder and seal out the water and oxidizing effects of the sun, salts, and petroleum spillage. This coating preserves the pavement surface, and the asphaltic and aggregate layers will remain dry and in place.

THERE ARE THREE TYPES AND CAUSES OF ASPHALT CRACKING.
Shrinkage: this is usually found in asphalt parking lots and driveways. These are normally interconnected, forming a series of blocks with sharp corners or angles. The causes of this type of cracking are usually lack of traffic, deterioration of the base, and/or extreme temperature changes.
Reflective: this is usually found in asphalt overlays. This is almost always caused by vertical or horizontal movements of the pavement beneath due to expansion and contraction with temperature and moisture changes.
Joint: this is a longitudinal separation along the seams of the paving. This type of crack is caused by a weak seam or an improper pinch roll.
