I bought a townhome in Atlanta GA a couple years back and the developer is now putting the final touches on the subdivision. The problem is that the concrete curbing adjacent to quite a few driveways have cracks and chunks knocked out of them because they were installed prior to the houses being built. The curbing really looks unsightly. The developer (Pulte homes) is having guys come around and just fill some of the cracks with a thin layer of concrete. It was my experience with my own driveway here that this method doesn't work to well. After a few months the concrete cracked and the new filling just popped off the curbing. I don't think that our subdivision should settle for this type of patchwork. I have heard that new concrete doesn't bond to old concrete.......is this true and should we accept this type of repair. Our developer (Pulte Homes) has constantly cut corners and been reluctant to make needed changes in the past, so I can't always trust what they do.

There is a patching concrete out there that also has an adhesive built in (sorry cannot remember the name of it) if that is what they are using it should not be a problem if they are just using portland, then yes in time t will come out

repairs are made all the time to curbs due to chuncks being taken out during the blacktopping...if it is done right it will last a long time... use a bonding agent and keep your portland stiff and you should have no problems with the patch...
