The driveways in my neighborhood are concrete, about 40 years old, and are slowly being replaced. Most are or were exposed aggregate, which SUCKS, and I would not recommend it. Also have noticed that most concrete drives, sidewalks and patios have not cracked where they were supposed to, and just crack randomly.
A couple of newly replaced driveways down the street I've noticed have brick inlays in bands, which I suspect would tend to fix that problem. Can anybody provide an opinion about doing that? My neighbor is going to replace his driveway soon, after having to cut into it to fix his waterline, and he's planning to do something like that.
