There appears to be a sinkhole forming on the side of my driveway,
about half in the yard and half in the driveway. Right now it's only a
couple of feet wide and maybe 6 inches deep at the lowest point. I
imagine this is a root or something decomposing underneath? My
questions:

1-Am I going to wake up one morning and find that my truck has been
swallowed up?

2-Is this something I can fix myself? If not, do I call a driveway
specialist? An excavator?


I have a similar problem. I know of a couple of sinkholes tat formed from
trees that were buried 24 years ago when the house was built. Mine is small
enough right now that I think I can fill and patch it myself. If it gets
larger I'm going to call a driveway paver for some digging, filling,
paving. FWIW, I'm not far from you over the border in CT.
