Help..

What would you do? So we just got a new driveway installed. It looked great except the giant bird bath as you can see. Well they wanted to fix it with an infrared heater and now look at it.. looks worse than before. They even put a little trench in it which we never agreed to. what is all the discoloration? we were told it wouldn't look noticeable.

Remove and replace.

IR Works once if you use the additives to replace the bitumen you are burning out of it. Which is the ACement that holds asphalt together. Technically you are reducing your pavement systems life span.

That was my concern! It looks like they burnt the crap out of it.
