driveway repair
When your driveway needs to be repaired it good to look into the options. There are pros and cons to all forms of concrete repair - patching, resurfacing or simply replacing the driveway. Let’s look into those.
patching your driveway
Patching is the process of filling tiny cracks or holes with asphalt or concrete sealant. The idea is to seal them off, to prevent water seeping in under the driveway, which may lead the asphalt to cave into a pothole. The pros are low cost and the possibility of d.i.y. On the cons side is the fact that patching is a short term solution and may be aesthetically less pleasing.
Resurfacing your driveway
When your cracks are wider or they’ve returned after patching has been tried, it’s time to consider the technique of concrete resurfacing. As a rule of thumb resurfacing can give your driveway an added 10 more years. It will cost you more than patching but it is less costly than replacing the driveway all together.
For resurfacing the driveway has to be in overall good condition and generally speaking that means 5-15yrs old. We tend to say that if approximately 25% of the driveway is lightly or moderately damaged resurfacing is a great option. Your driveway will look brand new! You can also ask us about seal coating, which has become a popular way to add an extra layer of protection to your driveway. It can truly extend the life of your driveway.

Replacing your driveway
If you’ve got an old driveway with potholes or large cracks (wider than ¼ inch) replacing it is your best bet. Replacing is the most expensive solution, yet it has its pros too. Replacement is a long term solution and since you’re starting from scratch you’ve got modern options for maintenance, like resealing the driveway. A new driveway lasts about 20 yrs with proper maintenance.
