Driveway expansion joints are intentionally cut into new driveway concrete to allow for slabs to shrink and expand in all kinds of weather. By being allowed to shrink and expand, the slab or slabs will last longer and not crack or break up quite as quickly as they would if they did not have the expansion joints. However, over time these expansion joints may become wider and weeds and grasses can grow in between. To prevent this problem, you can utilize driveway expansion joint filler made from the same stuff as modern windows and “vinyl” fences. Here’s more on these driveway expansion joint fillers.
They Come in Three Colors
Order black to outline the slabs, or if you have asphalt or black sealant over the top of your driveway slabs. Order concrete white to blend in with the slabs. Order brown if your concrete is stained and you don’t want people to notice the filler immediately.
They Come in Multiple Widths
Maybe the expansion joints you have right now are very narrow. Maybe some of the joints have widened quite a bit. Whatever the width of the joints, these fillers can easily fill in the spaces and present a smooth, continuous look throughout your driveway. Order different widths to repair and fill the joints later on as they widen, and you will be ready for anything. Check out these products at Trim-a-Slab via https://trim-a-slab.com/.
