Getting a section of driveway replaced on Friday.

i'd have them make straight cuts instead. going to be hard to follow that design

We are pretty sure that there is rotting construction debris under there, and when a heavy tree trimming truck ran over it, the weight collapsed that section. He's definitely going to look at it carefully after they get the old concrete up.

What's this costing you out of curiosity? I have to get a similar job done soon.

Once removed, tell us what's under it. Sometimes a tree stump that wasn't removed.

Crap like this makes me just want to have a gravel driveway the rest of my life. Cement is up there with carpet for me.

Nothing was there. He said it was a soft spot. He packed it in with some small debris of the broken concrete and then he drilled in 1/2” rebar for support on both sides, along with fiber mesh.

That is correct. I think it was around 15' X 20'.

So one of the workers connected to the outlet that was on my deck to use their saw. He tracked concrete from his shoes onto the deck. No big deal I thought, I would just hose it off the next day. Nope, That didn’t work. Pressure washed it yesterday. Nope, that didn’t work. Should I call the concrete dude and ask him to get it cleaned?

If not, I guess I’ll try TSP or something similar with a brush? I just stained the deck in March.

What’s irritating is they could have easily used the outlet on my front porch, which is brick and concrete.
