Gable

How often should you fill driveway and walkway cracks?

Once a year. On a calendar: July.

Why it matters

Water in a crack becomes frost heave in winter — small cracks grow into broken slabs one freeze at a time.

How to do it

Clean cracks out and fill with the right filler for asphalt or concrete on a dry summer day. Reseal asphalt driveways every few years.

Signs you've waited too long

Cracks widening year over year, or slab edges lifting unevenly.
