Taking care of your driveway early on helps it last longer and perform better. Here are three quick tips to keep it in top shape:

1. Go easy on the steering
Avoid turning your steering wheel while your vehicle is not moving. This can scuff the surface, especially in the first year when the material is still settling.

2. Distribute weight carefully
Use boards or wide supports under car jacks, kickstands, or trailers. Heavy objects with small contact points can sink into the surface, especially on hot days.

3. Protect the edges before winter
Place soil along the sides of the driveway to support the edges and prevent cracks during freeze-thaw cycles.
