Is this driveway edge pothole DIY? Critique my approach.
Hi friends,
Trying to repair a single car driveway that hasn't been maintained. I have no experience with this so I'd like to share my research and get your opinions. Pictures in the end.
Problems:
1) The bottom left entrance of the driveway has entirely chipped away so the crater need to be filled in.
2) The grass between two drive ways - that crater isn't as big as it seems because some of the bottom left needs to be filled with grass.
3) All of the cracks in the entrance of the driveway. The driveway seems to sink in at this point.
Potential solutions:
1) Use this product from home depot and use a piece of laminate hardwood to force a straight line while compressing the new material into the hole.
2) We keep driving over the property line that divides our driveway from the neighbours. I'm thinking of removing the grass altogether and adding river rock once the crater is fixed.
3) For all of those cracks in the sunken area, thinking of filling some of the cracks with this and also using the Aquaphalt from #1 to "unsink" and smooth it out.
I know this isn't a permanent fix but I'm just looking to get by for a year or two. Maybe apply a sealer later this summer if the other repairs go well.
Thanks in advance.
