Driveway Asphalt Rubber Crack Fill - DIY - Alternative to Expensive Push Machine

Alternative option to filling large cracks with hot pour rubber without having to spend $1100 + on the kettle application machine. Results are about a B- to B at best compared to the machine and a professional but with all materials this was about $210

Glad It could be helpful! I couldn't find anything when I was getting ready to work on my driveway.

How much would an asphalt person charge to do that?

[@ncameron7]

Sorry, I didn't see a notification on this. If you're asking how much a sealcoating or asphalt person would charge to do the same job as me, they typically go by lineal footage in cracks or size of driveway. Low ball could be $500 when you factor travel time, gas, materials. High ball could be $1500.

Did the crack come back after the year? Do you live where the winter is ruff? Regards

[@ncameron7]

I live in the Michigan so yep, cold and snow. Yes the cracks are still physically there. I plan to reapply the rubber this summer. Same process most department of transportations follow, annually or bi annual application. Has held up well. It's a bandaid on the issue. Not a permanent solution for 15 years.
