A couple years ago I installed a gate on my driveway using 4x4 posts, but I just noticed the top inch of concrete has turned to loose rubble - also there is now a giant crack forming
Not sure how long it’s been like this, but I just noticed it. The top inch of concrete used to support these posts has completely dried out or something, it’s now basically loose gravel which can easily be brushed away. Does it seem like the rest of this of the concrete used here will just fall apart? Is there anything I can place on top here to prevent further erosion? I could for example brush away the loose debris and place a new layer of concrete or sealer. Also there is a crack spreading from the post hole, and curious about the best way to seal that up too. submitted by /u/MintyCitrus [link] [comments]
