In this article, we’ll provide a quiz that will help you determine whether or not it’s time to replace your driveway. We’ll also discuss some of the signs that may indicate that it’s time for a replacement. So if you’re curious about whether or not you should upgrade your driveway, be sure to read on!

Do You Have Any Cracks In Your Driveway? If So, How Big Are They?

a. Yes,  and they’re wider than a quarter

b. Yes, but they’re smaller than a quarter

c. No

If you answered “Yes, and they’re wider than a quarter,” it’s time to start thinking about replacing your driveway. Cracks that are that big can quickly turn into potholes, which can damage your car or cause you to trip and fall. If you answered “Yes, but they’re smaller than a quarter,” you might be able to wait a little longer before replacing your driveway. However, it’s a good idea to keep an eye on the cracks and make sure they don’t get any bigger. If you answered “No,” congratulations! Your driveway is in good shape for now. But remember, even if there are no cracks now, it’s important to get your driveway sealed every few years to prevent cracking in the future.

Do You Have Any Weeds Growing In Your Driveway?

a. Yes, and they’re bigger than dandelions

b. Yes, but they’re smaller than dandelions

c. No

If you answered “Yes, and they’re bigger than dandelions,” it’s time to replace your driveway. Weeds that big can cause cracks in your driveway, which can quickly turn into potholes. If you answered “Yes, but they’re smaller than dandelions,” you might be able to wait a little longer before replacing your driveway. However, it’s a good idea to remove the weeds and make sure they don’t come back. If you answered “No,” congratulations! Your driveway is in good shape for now.

Do You See Any Water Pooling On Your Driveway After It Rains?

a. Yes, and it stays for more than a day

b. Yes, but it goes away within a day

c. No

If you answered “Yes, and it stays for more than a day,” it’s time to replace your driveway. Water that pools on your driveway can cause cracks, which can quickly turn into potholes. If you answered “Yes, but it goes away within a day,” you might be able to wait a little longer before replacing your driveway. However, it’s a good idea to make sure the water is draining properly and not causing any damage. If you answered “No,” congratulations! Your driveway is in good shape for now.

Do you have any holes in your driveway?

a. Yes, and they’re bigger than a quarter

b. Yes, but they’re smaller than a quarter

c. No

If you answered “Yes, and they’re bigger than a quarter,” it’s time to replace your driveway. Holes that big can quickly turn into potholes, which can damage your car or cause you to trip and fall. If you answered “Yes, but they’re smaller than a quarter,” you might be able to wait a little longer before replacing your driveway. However, it’s a good idea to fill the holes with dirt or sand to prevent them from getting any bigger. If you answered “No,” congratulations! Your driveway is in good shape for now.  

If you answered yes to any of the above questions, it may be time to think about replacing your driveway. Of course, there are other factors to consider as well. For example, if you live in an area with a lot of extreme weather conditions (think: freezing winters and scorching summers), that can speed up the deterioration of your driveway. If you’re not sure whether or not you need to replace your driveway, we suggest talking to a professional. They’ll be able to assess the condition of your driveway and give you a better idea of what needs to be done.
