Most people tend to think more reinforcement is better than less. In fact, builders and other concrete contractors sometimes don't use any secondary reinforcement because it takes time and adds to the cost of construction. The reason for secondary reinforcement is to keep your slab from settling / twisting and to keep cracks tightly held together. However, the #1 guarantee is that concrete cracks no matter how its designed or installed - that's the nature of the beast.

The best applicator for a driveway is a squeegee. Brushes and rollers are simply the wrong tool for the job as they do not spread the sealer evenly nor do they properly fill the pores of your asphalt like a squeegee does. (Plus, the use of a roller voids our warranty!) If you want to edge the driveway first, you may do so with a paint brush. Latexite has designed a squeegee, the Latexite 18" Seal-Right Squeegee, to make the job for you easier. See similar questions...

Yes, provided you have ample room to allow for the additional 3 inches that will be above the concrete. If this is going into a doorway, you may have a problem with clearance.

The only permanent crack filler is "Pli-Stix" or "Crack-Stix" (same product, just different lengths) and can be purchased on our website.

No permit is required. However, the Planning Division requires a site plan - even if the new driveway is exactly identical to the old driveway. The site plan should show the location of the property lines, house, garage and existing driveway, location of the new driveway, how it will be widened, and length/width dimensions. If the proposed driveway meets all city requirements, an approval will be made. No inspection is required. See similar questions...
