I just had my driveway re-paved. The paver I used, who came highly recommended through a number of sources, told me that the worst thing you can do for an asphalt driveway is to seal it. He claims that the sealant prevents the driveway from breathing properly, which leads to cracking and heaving.

My driveway was already a POS so sealing it was never an option - it isn't like he was talking me out of this to sell me a driveway job. At the very least I would do some investigation into this claim before putting the sealant on.
