My driveway has reached the end of its service life but...
Yes, this driveway is hammered. But, the city won't let me replace it, I went round and round with them, and there's too much impermeable surface. Their brilliant idea was to eliminate 70% of the driveway, then repave what's left, that is not a happening thing.
HOWEVER, they mentioned I may be able to skim what is existing (as pictured), they didn't define skim, but probably an inch, maybe I could get away with 1.5 inches and maybe a little prep to fill in the real bad spots, I'm not sure and it's one of those don't ask no ones coming to measure unless I obviously over do it situations.
That said my question is: would skimming this do anything for me besides waste however many thousand dollars to end up with the same issue in 5 years? This driveway is probably from the 40s or 50s, so the base can't be that bad to have held up this long, obviously it would be best to R&R, but that isn't an option, trust me I tried.
I'm in Michigan, and going to repost this over to the concrete sub to see if they have any input.
Thanks
