We all know that most small businesses fail within the first year of opening their doors. Starting a business is not easy and keeping a business open may even be more difficult. Once the business is up and running, it takes enormous effort to keep it successfully operating. Investments must be made in high quality products, high quality service, and working to keep both customers and employees happy. All of the efforts that go into maintaining a healthy business make profitability a tantalizing, but sometimes not attainable, goal. One way business owners can work to become profitable is to demonstrate to potential customers that their places of business are committed to providing their customers with a positive and appealing commercial experience. Professionally sealcoating your business’ driveway, sidewalks and parking lot is one of those such investments, and a relatively low-cost investment at that.

If you drive the roads of Minnesota, you are already well acquainted with the concept of a pothole. Potholes can be found on every driving surface in the state, and on some roads, potholes seem to cover more surface area than smooth asphalt does. Potholes occur on all roads, but they occur faster in climates that have a wide range of temperature accompanied by snow, rain, and occasional ice storms. Precipitation, whether it falls in liquid or crystallized form, is all water. Water is considered the universal solvent.

Your driveway is under constant stress from the elements, and in Minnesota, the elements tend to add something extra to the mix. What that means is that driveways take a beating. It is one thing to withstand the weight and friction of vehicles that weigh multiple thousands of pounds, but Minnesota’s weather adds insult to injury with its massive annual temperature ranges and the intensity created by rain, snow, and ice. We have come a long way from the days when homeowners considered it an upgrade to go from dirt parking areas to gravel
