While some minor cracking is normal in concrete driveways, there are steps you can take to minimize the risk of significant cracking. Proper installation, such as ensuring a good base and reinforcing with steel mesh or rebar, can help prevent cracking. Additionally, avoiding heavy vehicles or equipment on the driveway and minimizing exposure to extreme temperature changes can help prevent cracking. Regular maintenance, such as filling cracks as they appear and sealing the surface every 2-3 years, can also help prevent further cracking.
