We will be selling our 28 year old home in Washington in a few months. The
concrete driveway leading from the street to our 3 car garage has some
cracks and gaps through which weeds tend to grow. Is there a faster and
less expensive way to make it more presentable than replacing the whole
driveway? Someone suggested having a layer of asphalt applied by an
asphalt contractor. Is that a good solution? Thanks for any advice or
suggestions.
28 years, it's gonna have a few cracks. As long as none of the sections have
heaved, not a big deal. Pull the weeds, spray a little roundup down there.
They sell a gray goop in caulking tubes for this very application. If the
cracks are wide, you may need some of the plastic rope stuff in the bin next
to the gray goop, to stuff in there first.

An asphalt overlay, or a rip'n' replace, would be throwing money away. As
long a current driveway is in servicable condition, you won't make the money
back on sale.
