Driveway repair
The edge of our thirty year old macadam/blacktop/asphalt/whateveryoucallit driveway has started to crack. There is a patch that is about 18" long and less than a foot wide that is now in several large, separated chunks. Is there any way to bond these back together again? To make some other kind of repair? What would you do or suggest to fix it?

1. Sure, you can buy a sixty pound bag of repair material

for you driveway and there is a emulsion you can put over that to make the surface match your driveway. And you can buy a five gallon bucket of emulsion roll on driveway resurfacer which will make your driveway look new. You apply that with a roller. It is in the same place bags of concrete are at your local builders supply. Your repair is fairly easy to do.If you have a home depot in your locality ,anyone that works in the concrete section where sheet rock is mud all that, can be helpful to you in selecting the most effective way about it and the products you will need. On that sixty pound bag, I have used a sledge hammer to smash that in the damaged area and smooth it out, believe it or not ,it worked!

Check out the product lines at your local builder's supply for that problem.

Also, I have bought a yard of concrete pre mixed ,or asphalt that you can have delivered ,or you can toe it yourself if you have a pick up truck or a vehicle that can tow some weight. The container has a door of course ,you back the container up to the problem area ,the container has a hydraulic lift tilt and you guide the material out with a shovel. I buy that at a equipment supply place, you would have to check your local yellow pages on that.
