How do I repair a cracked driveway?

Answer 1

To repair a cracked driveway, you can follow these steps:

1. Clean the cracked area thoroughly by removing any debris, dirt, or vegetation.
2. Use a chisel and hammer to widen the crack and create a clean, even surface for the repair material.
3. Fill the crack with a quality concrete or asphalt crack filler, following the manufacturer's instructions.
4. Smooth the filler with a trowel and allow it to dry completely.
5. For larger cracks or holes, you may need to use a patching compound or asphalt repair mix.
6. Once the repair material has dried, seal the entire driveway with a concrete or asphalt sealer to protect it from further damage. Remember to always wear protective gear such as gloves and safety glasses when working with repair materials.
