it's a 2 car drive way with big cracks due to hot summers and cold winters. so many creative people on this site, i can't be the only one with this problem. just hate to spend 4500.00 for a new driveway!

Have same problem, only thing to do is have it resurfaced (blacktop) which Is costly. Husband has patched the cracks previous years then resealed it

Your hardware store has a tube of stuff FOR driveway cracks. The lady next door used it, then painted her driveway, ( I recommend concrete stain though) it looks nice. There are also companies that do this, the guy across the street had THAT done!

Thanks Kathy! Can't really afford to redo my driveway but would like to make it look better so I can sell my home & move to Florida ! :) Is there some thing for black top ?

Also anyone have any ideas about perking up a cement front steps with rust spots with an added cement step down. The railings are rusty, too. Some of the cement has worn away. Is there a way to cover it with a nice stone or brick for not too much money ?
