    Concrete over asphalt driveway
    I have a sloping asphalt driveway that I thinking about topping with concrete. What would be the pros and cons, with emphasis on the cons.

    Thanks

    Just common sense tells me that if you want to use concrete, you would have to have the asphalt removed first. Asphalt degrades and will still do so even after the concrete is on top of it, leaving the concrete to crack and degrade as well.

    You would be saving money having the asphalt removed first.

    What condition is the asphalt in right now< if it were great that would be one thing. However, since you want to top it with concrete I'm bettin there are issue, right?
