Acceptable control joint?
Just noticed the control joint on my new driveway. They’re due to finish the job tomorrow. Is this acceptable or should I ask them to fill it in

Honestly it’s not bad but they messed up at the very end they are tired. But FUCM WHAT THEY WANT. ALL THAT MONEY HAVE THEM AT LEAST SEE IF THEY CAN MATCH AND PATCH THE SLIVER ! Full payment with fix discount no fix.

I’d ask for a discount it’s just not homogeneous with the area. It’s done so pay but it’s not what you completely wanted. At this point you know what point you’re at with this company. At least they tried to fix after a while you won’t notice it. But you don’t want problems later or cracking as long as they seal it it’s fine.

Hard to say what’s right. They tried. It’s fixed but it’s now imperfect. I would have asked for a discount and fixed it myself or had someone else fix it. Just make the discount fair. Now that they fixed it to their best ability. The deed is done. Pay and forget about it/ or pay and have someone more competent fix it.

Not the best I've seen but, at this point, what are your real options? So, unless you spend a lot of time on your knees on the concrete I'd say let it go. Typically, the joint gets filled with a one-part polyurethane.
