I had to narrow my driveway by up to 2 inches for a length of 13'. I used a 4" masons chisel and hammer. While the top of the driveway is straight, the sides are rather ragged because I didn't use a circular saw with a masonry blade to neatly slice through the aggregate. So in some places, there are "cavities" in the side that extend almost 1" toward the center of the driveway.
My concerns:
- These cavities are places where pockets of water can pool and freeze.
- The edges of the driveway above the cavities aren't supported very well, and may collapse if I accidentally stray with my car over them.
One way to fill the cavities and smooth the sides would be to trowel into them the black stuff normally used to repair holes in the surface. Any pitfalls with this approach? Any other suggestions?
Thanks,
Ray
