While you can’t see it, the concrete slabs of your driveway expand and contract with the weather. The wooden slats in between the concrete slabs of your driveway are expansion joints and were installed to allow the concrete slabs to contract and expand. But, with time, wood rots, turning into mulch. When that happens, weeds and grass will begin to sprout.
If weeds are growing in between the slabs of your driveway, it’s time for a driveway expansion joint replacement. However, replacing old wooden expansion joints with new wood is not easy. In fact, many people choose to fill the gaps with concrete caulking. But, caulking a driveway is messy, and may not last as long as you would like. Fortunately, there is a better way to replace driveway expansion joints.
Plastic driveway expansion joint replacement strips are easy, long-lasting, and affordable. Once you’ve dug out the old, rotten wood, you’ll simply press the plastic expansion joint strips in. Best of all, these strips are designed to prevent the regrowth of grass and weeds.
Plastic driveway expansion joint strips also add to the curb appeal of your home. Caulking a driveway collects dirt and looks ugly. On the other hand, plastic strips stay clean, and you’ll have your choice of gray, black, or brown, to enhance the look of your home.
Plastic concrete expansion joints are an easy, smart, affordable, and attractive option for replacing rotting wooden slats.
