The way people seal their own driveways around here drives me nuts

I grew up in Lethbridge watching my dad do it with a brush and tar, now I see neighbors spraying that water-based stuff from a jug and it peels up after one winter. Has anybody else noticed the old-school coal tar sealers last way longer than the new eco-friendly options?

You mentioned "the old-school coal tar sealers last way longer." I used to be all about the eco-friendly stuff honestly. Thought the water based was fine and didn't get the fuss. But after seeing my neighbors driveways peel up like sunburn after one winter I started paying attention. My own driveway I did with coal tar three years ago still looks solid. That green stuff just can't handle the freeze thaw cycles we get here. Changed my whole view on it.

Driveways peel up like sunburn" sounds less painful and a lot cheaper, thankfully.
