Step-by-step tutorial!    • How To Resurface Driveways (Step By S...  

I fill driveway cracks with a custom mix of 2 parts sand to 1 part Portland cement. On public sidewalks, I use RapidSet Cement All so it hardens fast and I never need to close down a sidewalk. I always prime before painting, and I apply 2 to 3 coats of paint. The paint I used in this video is Valspar Solid Color Concrete Stain from Lowes. (Although I've recently switched to a better quality paint by BEHR, called 'Concrete and Garage Floor Paint 1-Part Epoxy Coating'

The material cost for this project was about $350, and it took 3 days to do.

Many, MANY people have tried doing this, and failed, but that's because they did it incorrectly. If you follow the directions on the can, it should turn out great and last a while, although touchups every 6 months, or recoats every 12 months are highly recommended. Driveways require more maintenance than anything else on residential properties, yet they receive none from the average homeowner. Tearing it out and pouring a new one can cost anywhere in the range from 8k all the way to 20k, so this method of resurfacing I demonstrate is becoming a trend.
