What Is Driveway Resurfacing?

Resurfacing a driveway involves making the driveway surface completely even by placing another surface over the top of it, improving both the way it looks and functions. Resurfacing with new concrete will achieve a consistent finish. Exposed to heavy vehicles, varied weather conditions and constant pressure on a daily basis, Cracks, stains and potholes can all contribute to a driveway that removes value from your home, and could cause real problems if left unattended without groundworks solutions.

Time For Change

The most prominent signs that you may need to resurface your driveway can be established by the general appearance of it. The occurrence of cracks, potholes, and surface damage are suggestive of a driveway which needs to be resurfaced. Large cracks can cause issues if they allow water into the concrete foundations, and if you notice rainwater running down the middle of your driveway, you may have drainage issues. This could potentially weaken the driveway surface and contribute to the prevalence of larger cracks and potholes, requiring an expensive surface replacement.

Another tell-tale sign that your drive is damaged, crumbling edges suggest that your driveway’s structure is eroding, and may need more extensive repairs if not maintained. Tending to weaken and eventually break if exposed to large volumes of water, crumbling edges may also indicate that your driveway’s top layer has sustained damage from vehicles rolling over it.
