old cracked concrete

Cor, haven`t seen this idea before...or is that the same stuff you hammer into grass to make parking easier in wet weather @BigC ??

 

I dunno if its a new thing or not perhaps it is...yeah its much the same as the garden grids but heavy duty..I have seen it used on a drive way and whilst it doesnt keep all the gravel in place its a great improvement over loose shingle....you dont really see it and it does a relatively good job

 

Having consulted my Meercat friend. He says. Szimples. Tirst get rid of the weeds. Then depending upon what you mean by the existing concrete cracking. In practical terms. Here you already have a good concrete base. No need for hardcore, it's already there. Dependin much upon the size of the cracks. Take time and perhas make the cracks a bit wider. Then using a wetter mix of concrete, hand fill the cracks allowing an overlap, now add the new concrete mix do the normal levellingand punning and you should soon have a good hard standing.

 

I would love the grid stuff, but its so expensive, it is the same cost as block paving in total, so unless you specifically want the grids and gravel, then I would personally rather have block paving.
