Hi,

I have a crack between my driveway and my walkway. Its about 1/2" wide and nearly 1" deep. What is the best way to fill something this wide? It seems too large to try to caulk?

IN contrast, what is the best way to fill thin, shallow cracks?
Is caulk the best? If so, what type?

Thanks,
Shawn

is the walk exposed agg? If so, you can take silocone and some sand to fill it, then seal the walk. If it is broom finished, I always just take someconcrete caulk and fill in the bad cracks. This will work as a patch, but will not stop the pieces from moving(meaning they wil open more as time passes).

Hope this helps
Jeremy
