If this is the wrong forum,please let me know this time,so I can place this post elsewhere.Have a old cracked 8x15ft.driveway,that is on the end of a block long paved drive.Don't know,why this was never removed,but I am not able to re move it or can afford to have it removed.Wondered if I could frame it in,then fill the cracks with asphalt,that sells in buckets,repear till they are full then cover the whole slab with an even coat of tar/asphalt,to match the long drive.There is grass on each side,and my craft shop (was a garage)on the end.Would of liked to fill the cracks with good smelling ground herb cover
and paint the concrete,that was one idea.But unless the 100+sun heat in summer would melt the cracks,think the asphalt cover would be easier,don't have any strenght to do but a little at a time.Would this work?
Has anyone tried this? Thank you |

| Many roadbeds are asphalt over concrete slabs, don't see why it wouldn't work for you. |

| You might look into having someone do stamped concrete on top of your paving and make a naturalized path out of it. It might cost a little more than asphalt (I'm totally guessing here), but would likely be more attractive, as you could get a brick look, various stone finishes, etc with the refinishing. Would also be no maintenance for you. Then you could plant around it and have a nice looking garden area. |
