Hello everyone. Today I am having my asphalt guy come back to pack down and
add a new layer of asphalt to the existing driveway he did about 6
months ago.
Long story short. He did a poor job and I dont want to ask him to do
anymore work. Its bad enough Im making him correct his mistakes after
the first time.Â*Â*Â* My question is. The house had an original driveway.
I had
the driveway widened about 1000 sq ft.Â* So I have an old driveway and a new
driveway. I want to know how I can seam the 2 together. With like a liquid
asphalt of some sort?Â* I see it done on all the main roads but I never
had it
done to my driveway. So I noticed the edge of the new asphalt kind of
crumbles. Like Little Rocks break off ect....Â* i am handy so Im sure I
could take on the task. I just dont work with asphalt so I am lost on this
one.Â* Any help would be greatly appreciated

When I had mine resurfaced a few years ago I had the guy widen two feet.
He put down subsurface rock and resurfaced to the level of the old
driveway. There is no seam and no sign of separation.
