Resurfacing a Concrete Driveway

My rather large concrete driveway has a lot of cracks and loose pieces. Assuming that the pieces were properly secured (now that the ground beneath them has settled for 20 years), is there a way to put a new surface on top of an existing driveway? My understanding is that a second layer of concrete has to be a certain thickness to prevent cracking and to properly adhere to the concrete beneath it. Or, how does a second layer adhere to a first? Covering the driveway with asphalt is not an option. If there are other ideas or suggestions, please offer them. The ground as migrated around the existing driveway over the years, so raising the height a couple of inches would not be a big deal. Since the base layer of concrete has cracked ANY coating you put over top WILL ALSO CRACK:( So top coating is a waste of money unless your trying to pretty it up to sell. If your going to b there for years its far better off to just replace the driveway. |
