Cracked, sunken, or crumbling driveways are common after harsh winters. The question every homeowner asks: repair or replace?
Repair may be enough when
- Cracks are isolated and less than half an inch wide.
- The base is stable with no major settling.
- Surface spalling is cosmetic, not structural.
Replacement is smarter when
- Alligator cracking covers large sections.
- Water pools consistently after rain.
- The driveway has sunk more than two inches.
- Previous patches keep failing in the same spots.
Material options
Asphalt offers lower upfront cost and faster installation. Concrete lasts longer with less maintenance. Pavers provide the highest-end look and easiest spot repairs.
