Driveway caulking expansion joints are a popular way to clean up degraded, grassy wooden expansion joints. However, driveway caulking is not the best way to do this. Caulking is not only messy, but it can also be expensive. Rather, the best way to clean up weed-covered wood expansion joints is with durable, easy-to-use vinyl strips.
Vinyl driveway expansion joints come in several widths, and three colors, black, gray, and brown. These plastic driveway expansion joints simply press into the gaps, once you’ve dug out the old wood. They can last for up to ten years, and look much neater and cleaner compared to driveway caulking expansion joints. Caulking will become dirty over time, and it’s nearly impossible to clean. On the other hand, vinyl concrete expansion joints can easily be swept or hosed clean.
To use plastic driveway expansion joints, you’ll first need to determine the width you’ll need, as well as the length. Next, you’ll need to choose a color; gray blends in with concrete, while black and brown can create dramatic accents. Finally, you’ll buy the vinyl expansion joints in rolls, with enough length to cover your needs.
The hard part is digging out the old wooden expansion slats and weeds. But once that’s done, you’ll simply cut your vinyl strips to length and press them into the gaps with your foot. Within a few hours, your driveway will look better than new.
