How do I attach a thin wedge of concrete to a driveway lip where it meets the street without it breaking up?
Posted on May 11th, 2010 in Making Up and Breaking Up | 2 Comments »
My son’s concrete driveway slopes down a steep hill and at the foot it is about 1 and 1/2 inches higher than the street where they meet. His low profile car sometimes drags and we need to slope the concrete where it meets the street. Should I saw an angle in the existing concrete where there would be more of an angle or pour a thin wedge and smooth off with a trowel? If I pour a thin wedge what type of concrete would pour this thin without breaking up?

Adding such a thin layer of concrete would not hold up to being driven on. Grinding down the existing driveway will make it thinner, so that is not a good idea.
Home depot sells bags of asphalt repair material. It is a sticky, asphaltic cement you could use to create a slope and since it is flexible, will not break off like concrete would.
