The biggest issue with driveways are the deep, uneven cracks or even loose pieces, driveways like this are signaling a big structure or driveway foundation issue and is something that needs a professional to look at. Why a professional? Plain and simple you use the driveway everyday and probably like most American’s you park your car on it, and the last thing you want is damage to your car,its just an avoidable expense. If your driveway is telling yourthere’s a bigger issues but you keep driving on it the cracks will get deeper and even began to break off! These pieces can fly up and damage your car or worse hit someone or someone else’s car! Damage to the driveway, like deep cracks an also signal that there is water damage under the driveway, which is also something you want checked out. You could be paying extra on the water bill without knowing it or cause weak ground which could spill over to your house at some point, so best to correct it ASAP.

What Are My Options And What Is A New Driveway Going To Cost Me?

As far as options go you have a few. The first 2 options are the cheapest but also the most problem some; Dirt or Gravel. Both leave little to be desired, will make your property, car and home dirty. They will also flood during rain. A bad option here in LA. Your next option is Asphalt, which is often the go to for driveways as it is cheap, easy to DIY, and at first has that black, shiny look. The downside? Needs a lot of maintenance, it cracks often and easily so if constantly repairing is not your thing then you should use another material. The most popular choice for driveways? Concrete, it has many advantages and the less likely to damage your car. Yes, I know there are a few other styles, brick, cobblestone and pavers to name a few but these are more appearance then usable driveways and far costly for the average home.  These require constant upkeep, have weight limits and other problems that would require not parking your car on them. In LA a driveway you can’t park a car on is unreasonable.
