    Rip it up and go natural. Run two rows of some type of paver rather for cars, or two rows of gravel. Then the rest is grass. Be sure to retain your rain water run off pitch of drive way. Make sense?

    I agree with the prior post. Rip up the drive and put gravel down. You could then put a sandy gravel on top and spray on some driveway sealer from walmart or whatever. Look into it first. (cost, and coverage per 5 gallon bucket) Or like the guy before me said, rip it up, put pavers in where the car travels up the drive and plant the rest in grass.

    if you want to keep what you have and the cracks are not even. You can have it mud jacked. We did that to a patio, filled the cracks and we are extremely happy with the result. If the cracks are even or even connected to each other,,,you can fill the cracks with pea gravel and use a clear silicone to hole the gravel together and in the crack. A friend did that but she mixed the pea gravel together. She had to work very very fast. Good Luck.

    One of the main reason for asphalt driveways crumbling is inadequate sub base. You need to use Class V which is a combination of clay and gravel and is tamped down. You need at least 4" of tamped sub base before rolling out the asphalt driveway
