What is the most economical driveway material?

• <div><p>Gravel driveways are the most economical driveway material, followed pretty closely by asphalt and concrete. At about <b>$1 to $3 per square foot, </b>gravel is about a third of the cost of either of the more common alternatives. But, not everyone likes the look and feel of the material and may opt to pay more for something that looks better.</p></div>

Should I patch, resurface, or replace my concrete?

• <div><p>Concrete blemishes such as chipped steps or small cracks are fixable with patching. For bigger jobs, including <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/driveway-repair-should-you-patch-resurface-or-replace.htm">driveway repair</a> and cracks wider than a 1/4 of an inch, patches will only serve as a temporary fix. Resurfacing is ideal when the surface is showing more widespread wear—like if it’s pitted, rough, or has lots of cracks. Resurfacing gives your concrete a fresh, like-new appearance without needing a full replacement.</p><p>When the concrete is severely cracked, sinking, or otherwise structurally unsound, replacing it might be your best option. Replacement ensures the safety and longevity of the surface in this case. </p></div>

Should I use water when drilling concrete?

• <div><p>Yes, using water when drilling concrete can help keep dust from clogging the hole and prevent your drill bit from wearing out, although you don’t need to spray water on the concrete while drilling. Water can also lubricate the bit and help keep it cool since drilling into concrete can generate a lot of friction and heat. </p></div>

Does grass grow through concrete?

• <div><p>While most of the grass below newly poured concrete will die, some will grow through the cracks and around its edges with ease. Some grasses and weeds can even widen hairline cracks in your foundation, particularly the inevitable <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-of-cracks-in-concrete.htm">concrete cracks</a> that form during the curing process. This is just one of the reasons it's best to remove grass before laying concrete.</p></div>

Q: Is a concrete slab a footing?

• <div><p>A floating concrete slab is considered a footing since it distributes the weight of the structure to the soil, but not all concrete slabs are considered footings. For example, a T-shaped slab includes separate footings below the slab that support the concrete above and push the load further down into the ground. In that case, the slab would not be considered a footing.</p></div>
