Customer Reviews for Gardner 4.75 gal. DriveSeal 8 Driveway Filler and Sealer

I put the Airport grade the day before, ran out, went to get more and I had to get this brand, no comparison.

Had to stir or mix each bucket, but wasn't too bad. Went on well and looks good. True test to how it is in years from now.

Great product.

Easy to apply and holds up extremely well under weathering.

One of the best products on the market

I thought because this was high price it would be impressive coverage. It did not work out that way on my driveway. I would not buy it again or recommend it. I will have to have my driveway resealed next year and will definitely use another product.

Looked at several sealers and many were cheaper but I went with pro 7. I like the way it covered the asphalt it filled all small cracks but I put a crack filler in all the bigger cracks. Looks great and will buy again in about 4 or 5 years. For real dry asphalt you should figure half the coverage.

Excellent product!!!

Terrific coating

Went on easily. Will have to wait several months to assess durability.

Rating provided by a verified purchaser

Good quality and easy to use...no stirring. Should be available in the store.

I put two coats on my driveway and followed the product instructions. Not even a full year has gone by and there is numerous places on my driveway that I see the old surface. This is a costly sealer and you would think it would get me at least a couple of years. disappointing.

Product application was simple and complete.

Product is mostly water.

Already see fading after 1 month.

Received order early. Personnel put it in my car. minimum stirring required.. Dampened drive with sprinkler on hose. Spread product with Depot blade on a handle. Neighbors said it looked PROFESSIONAL as did my wife. I am almost 84 years old and it was not that difficult to get a great result. Would strongly recommend for driveways.

This should do the trick for many years. Product performed as stated.

Went on very well not to thick not to watery. Fills in minor cracks and holes I used blacktop repair patch for the major cracks and holes first the day before . Driveway looked very good when patched sealed and dried. Product dried very quickly was able to walk on it next day , was able to drive on it the 2nd day. Could probably drive on it the first day but wanted to give it more time. Product also cleans up easy just used rubber gloves and driveway rubber squeggy to apply , I would recommend you clean or powerwash driveway a day or 2 in advance. Only negative thing I can say about product is it doesn't cover as much area as claimed . I ordered 3 cans according to recommendation I ended up needing 5 cans to complete job. Also it takes 7 to10 days to come in after order is placed , store does not carry product in stock. One last thing I would apply when temperature is between 65° and 90°. I left cans in Sun upside down for 4 to 6 hours then opened and stirred product for several minutes. It doesn't recommend this just something I did on my own.

I used this product as directed and the first coat went on quite well. Coverage was as stated on the website. The second coat did not go as well. The temperature was well within the guidelines but when we got to the part of the driveway that was more exposed to the sun the issues began. The material dried very quickly. In fact it was steaming and started balling up. CAUTION needs to be exercised when the temperatures are in the high 70's and sun is on the work area. I just wanted to share my thoughts.

I applied to a new driveway (10 months old). Went on very easy, cured quickly and seemed to provide a very good layer of protection to seal the asphalt. It did take far more material than the bucket claims. Although my drive was a first time application which certainly has some effect, I only got about 150 sq. ft per bucket, not 350. Maybe I put it too thick but I don't think so. Time will be the ultimate judge because if it does last anywhere near the 7 years supposed, it will still be very worthwhile. I like how it looks and the ease of application, so I am satisfied with the product. 5 years from now, if it holds up well, I will definitely repurchase. This product had much higher user reviews than any other brand I found, so that swayed me and I am pleased overall.

I used this Gardner 7 year driveway sealer today and was so very disappointed and 2 of the other 5 gallon buckets were thrown away because I refuse to use it after trying one container. After a very long time mixing with my drill and attachment I was never able to get it mixed and product looked like sludge at bottom no matter how hard I tried mixing it with drill. You should use a drywall mixing paddle to mix but there was none stocked at my store to buy so I had to use a heavy duty paint mixer.

Last year I followed the instruction and had applied two coats with this product on my driveway. Right after one week it was sanded out almost every day. During the winter, it starting showed hairline cracks everywhere. This is the 1st time I have this kind of poor result and it caused by switching to this product . In the past 20 years with other brand products, there were only several line cracks happened.

Goes on easy with minimal mixing, was hoping it filled cracks 1/8 inch or smaller. You still need a crack filler prep.

This has got to be the best driveway sealer on the market!! I did turn the buckets upside down and left them until ready for use, this product did not require any stirring at all. And when I poured in out on to the driveway, it was so easy to apply and went on very smoothly. My driveway looked as good as when it was new, I did buy the driveway patch and filled in the small cracks before applying the sealer. My driveway looked so good, I didn't want to put the cars back on it!! Clean up was also a breeze, just soap, water and a scrub brush. I am a widow and this sealer definitely made my job a lot easier and looks great!! I will definitely purchase this product again!!! If you need sealer, consider this one, don't pass it by!!

No stir but we stored anyway, went on smooth started with rubber squeeze but switched to broom type which gave a better look! Used 10 cans glad I ordered 2 extra for second coat!

covered great little effort to mix looks good just hope it lasts

When the product name is GEL, you expect something fairly thick. This product was as thin as any paint I've ever seen. It went on fine. It took two coats to cover a pretty smooth asphalt driveway.

Easy to mix to a uniform mixture. Used a brush broom in 4 directions and then a squeegee. This allowed one coat, although 2 coats are recommended on the instruction label. Results in a black uniform coating. Instructions say not to use unless no rain anticipated for 24 hours. Weather here was some showers every day. So took a chance on a day where small chance of showers between 12 and 24 hours after application. Unfortunately there was a light shower around 12 hours after application. I allowed no cars on driveway for about 5 days. But there were some slight tire marks. This could have been my fault for applying where rain occurred within 24 hours or perhaps I put on too thick by doing as 1 coat, athough I think I used squeegee properly. The tire marks are very minor. This is the 3rd time in about a 35 year period I've done this job. This material was much improved over material I used years ago.

Using this product was a breeze, it being gel rather than swishy liguid was not as messy. Spread great with a squeegee, no stirring necessary. A little went a long way. High praises for this product. I did my driveway and my neighbors on 3 containers and still have a little left! and we both have 2 car parking and walkway. Will never use anything else.
