How do I fill this gap?

Why do you have to? In the grand scheme of things it isn't harming anyt=

you are probably the only one who notices it.

To keep cold air out? =A0The better sheltered it was during the night,
the better the car will start in the morning.

Plus, if you close up the gap, you'll reduce the number of critters
that come inside to take up residence. Notice I said "reduce":
complete interdiction is probably not achievable.

Ok let me clarify. The gap is not between the driveway and the bottom
of the garage door. The gap is on the driveway. I am looking to fill
this so that it does not expand with water/ice freezing this winter. I
was thinking of first filling in with sand, then patching with cold
patch.
thanks

Go get some self leveling gap filler. Usually comes in the jumbo
squeeze guns.
