How to install expansion joints when pouring a concrete driveway?

Sunday, April 18th, 2010
tgdesigns98 asked:


I am going to be installing a concrete driveway. I have tore out the excisting asphalt driveway and formed up for the concrete. How do I install the expansion joints? Do you pour the concrete in one pour and then use a saw and cut the concrete where the joints need to go in? How often do they need to be placed for a 17′ by 78′ driveway?

Will a 4-6 inch concrete driveway laid on top of an existing asphalt driveway last long term?

lindababb000 asked:


I have an asphalt driveway. I need a thicker/more depth to the driveway so water will not rise on it. I need to either build it up with concrete or asphalt to about 4-6 more inches. Which is cheaper? Will concrete adhere and last on top of asphalt?

Concrete driveway sealer recommendations?

Saturday, October 3rd, 2009
Chad asked:


Specific brands you have experience with.

Preferably those that don’t darken or gloss the driveway. Also, would like a penetrating sealer as opposed to a surface coating.

It’s a concrete driveway and NOT an asphalt driveway (so no black coating or tar products). I’d like to seal it while keeping its natural gray poured concrete look.

The driveway is 3 years old and has never been sealed. It’s not cracked or scaling. It’s subject to high heat (100 degrees in summer), extreme cold (-20 in winter), as well as rain, snow, and ice.
Zuker: That sort of eliminates the purpose of Yahoo! Answers. For every question in every category on Yahoo! Answers you could answer with “Go to the nearest [insert place] and ask [insert expert]“. That’s just lazy way to answer.
