Hi all, first post for me. Been in my home here in St. Paul, MN for three years now. My driveway is concrete, but looks like it was laid by an amateur about 30 years ago or so. The surface is very rough and starting to deteriorate. Fortunately it only has one crack, so it seems pretty stable at least. When it was laid they left really wide joints between the slabs (3/4 to 1") which give it that nice amateur look and makes attempts at using a creeper under any car a challenge.
I plan on selling the house either this summer or next. But want to refresh the driveway, which is plain ugly. I don't have the money for new concrete or even a pavement resurface. I have had luck in my garage with vinyl concrete patcher, but I realize the driveway will need to be completely resurfaced with at least a 1/4 inch of something(?). I would also like to reduce the size of the joints to make it look normal (is it possible to elimate the joints altogether since the slabs are settled?).
I found this process, which looks like it might do the trick.
Please let me know if you have any experience in this type of concrete rehab in a cold weather climate.
Thanks,
Mark
