If the wood that separates the slabs of concrete in your driveway and sidewalks has rotted, it is likely that the front of your house does not look as attractive as it could. There may be weeds growing in between the slabs and broken pieces of wood. In addition to being unsightly, this can create a trip hazard and negatively affect the structure of your driveway and sidewalks.
Addressing the concrete expansion joints is essential if you want to improve the appearance of your home, prevent trip and fall accidents, and preserve your driveway and sidewalks. It may be as simple as removing the rotted pieces of wood and installing a product that can take its place. Professionals can help with the project.
You can purchase a gooey and sticky product that is dispensed from the tube to fill in the concrete expansion joint. However, this is messy and doesn’t always lead to the most attractive driveway and sidewalks. It may be more beneficial to use a durable, removable, and attractive expansion joint repair product instead. Use something that is made from a rubber-like material to fill in the gaps. This will prevent the growth of weeds and will not trap debris and dirt. It will look more attractive and prevent trips and falls. You can purchase this rubber-like product in pre-cut rolls. You can do the job yourself or have professionals help you with it.
