This did not work as well sealing the area between the driveway and the landscaping wall, it appears the wall moved more than the caulk could handle. I give you this info as it may provide a suitable way to extend the life of the driveway. Send me a OM if you would like to discuss further over the phone.
I used the flex seal caulk to fill in the stress cracks on our pool deck about three years ago and it has held up perfectly. It can be painted with the exact match acrylic deck coating T&D originally used on the decking (available from Florida Paints located behind Culver’s). The problem with using that on our driveway is that I have no idea if and/or how it can be treated to match the rest of our stained driveway. I guess I’ll have to contact Amy Newsome (she stained and sealed our driveway) and ask her about that. I need to contact her anyways since she did our driveway almost 5 years ago and it’s getting due to be resealed. As always, thanks for the advice.
