I tried patching a hole like that and it heaved up the next winter.


That's why you need to chisel the edge so that the bottom of your hole
is larger than the top.


That crack down the middle could be a tripping hazard. I think you
should try to grind down the high side edge and clean out the crack
and caulk it. The big hole in the center needs to be pulled out and
replaced with stone and at least 4" of concrete


Geeeez the whole damn thing is a mess. I wouldn't even bother unless you're
planning on replacing the whole thing. You're talking concrete saws, jack
hammer and compactor and that's just to prepare it. Get a bobcat in there
and tear up the whole thing and pour a new driveway. I day and it's done.
Get some damn estimates all it takes is a phone call!!!
