The water then runs down the driveway and into the street. Should we redo the edges of the driveway with pavers so the water can come up without breaking up the cement. Or should we use porous cement (usually intended for water going the other way) so the water can pass through. Or do you have another idea. Thanks! Laura Hi,

I have seen information on H&C concrete stain and sealer and would like your oppinion of this product. It says it last a long time but doesn't say how many years that it will last before it has to be dine again. Also do you know of some other products that I could use to seal my driveway. thanks Ed Ganley Danny

I have some surface area that has gone away and holes have formed. I have consulted a few concrete guys to take a look at it and I get the same answer from them all.. I will have to spend about 3000 to take it all out and redue it.. THERE HAS TO BE A WAY TO FIX THIS... I am not looking currently for a long term fix, I want something asthetic to make it look nice for a while that is cost effective. We are looking to sell our house in the next two years and have a lot of other repairs we wish to spend the money on.. but would like our driveway to look nice as well.. ANYONE have any ideas on an easy repair that may be temporary?? Thanks I have the same kind of driveway and the same problem only deeper.

Looks terrible. We presume the reinforcing is rusting, underneath! We live on the east coast of Australia, so I need to know the composition of the products you recommend, as they may not be available in our country. I hope you can help.
