The Answer
It is usually better to replace a driveway if more than 25-30% of it is damaged, while smaller issues like minor cracks and potholes can be addressed with repairs.
For a driveway with widespread damage, replacing the surface can be more cost-effective in the long run, as repeated repairs may not hold up over time. However, quick repairs to small issues can prevent further deterioration, making regular assessments beneficial to determine when replacement is the best option.
