Update 2: Driveway sealing called off

UPDATE (9/12/14): Driveway sealing was called off. Vintage surveyed the Terrace and said not many, if any, actually needed the service. It was explained that the small cracks in driveway surfaces are, for the most part, only cracks in the sealing material and not a structural problem. The service will be offered next summer.

UPDATE (9/1/14): It didn't happen in August as originally expected, but Grounds Committee Chairman John Victor now says we're within 10 days or so of having the sealcoating done.

(Original Aug. 1 posting)

Have you signed up to have your driveway seal-coated? It's especially important if you haven't had it done for several years, and having it done as a community-wide project makes it very affordable.

Seal-coating accomplishes several things. Among them:

• It protects your driveway surface from erosion caused by snow, ice and road salt.

• It helps maintain the appearance of the neighborhood, important to both pride in the Terrace and to maintaining property values.

If you're in need of the service, check the signup sheet posted on the mailbox gazebo bulletin board.
