Driveway repair help please:)

[charliee]

Hi!
I need to repair some parts of the drive way and I'm quite clueless of what to do, seeking advice. Thank you.

1. Medium size corner patch. Does not get any car traffic at all! Mystery how it got cracked.. - will this size be needing steel rods anchored to the original concrete? how should i do this part?

2. Super tiny corner.

3. End of driveway. Want this part to be clean - neat! what should I do?

Thanks!!!

Lay a rumble strip there with granno cobbles and polymer grout.

Mystery how it got cracked

Looks about 2 inch thick, and not well supported by a compacted base. The Curry's man wheeling a washing machine delivery over it would probably do it

-

Have someone who's competent with a stihl saw come and cut a smooth radius on it, then a few more decorative stones next to it.

Maybe do the other side too to match.

And don't run anything heavy over it

Want this part to be clean - neat! what should I do?

Install a whole new driveway because it's all dirty and not neat. I personally like Tegula style cobbles, and they're easy to DIY

I expect getting someone in to do it might be in the region of £100 per sqm plus materials but cast around for quotes of hiring diggers, skips and spreading/levelling out hardcore doesn't sound like your cup of tea

3. End of Driveway, check with Highways before doing anything, that may be off your curtilage so their issue.

Macadam needs a decent depth to hold together, I suspect if you spread a thin layer over the top, even with some Tack coat to help it stick, it'll soon be breaking up and lifting. If you want new Macadam, it'll need to be dug out and replaced with a decent depth of material, to provide some strength for the vehicular traffic passing over, and ultimately for longer life.

If any Reinstatement gangs are working in the area, see if they'll factor in doing that section for you, although you may need to ensure they lay the material to a sufficient depth!

Do nothing or replace the lot would be my two options. No point trying to tart up old rubbish.
