    Asphalt over a concrete driveway
    We have a driveway that was installed when the home was built 1 1/2 years ago. The drive has numerous cracks, and pieces coming out. We have tried to get something done about it, but everyone wants to pass the buck. Can you asphalt over an existing concrete drive?

    Thanks!

    You can put asphalt over sound concrete but your drive is not sound. You may be better off to have a concrete man cut the bad spots out and patch with new concrete. Cracking and pieces coming out usually means the base was not properly prepared.
