willf2900 Posted February 25, 2017 Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 This driveway was sawcut after installation and the cut was curved instead of straight. Is this a problem with expansion? Should the contractor correct the cut? Download Attachment: cut.pdf 1793.85 KB Download Attachment: sawcut.pdf 1174.86 KB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted February 25, 2017 Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 Are those blood stains permanent? I see at least a dozen examples of symmetry in the photo of the house, so what happened with the driveway? Maybe the concept became lost to the contractor when the time came to form the driveway. Irregular things like that I sometimes attribute to what I call the builder's 'signature'. They're usually not violations, might be examples of poor workmanship, might be just the builder's own style but one thing for sure: they're seldom appealing to anyone other than the builder himself.

Jim Katen Posted February 25, 2017 Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 There's nothing technically wrong with it. It's just a design choice. Kind of like having 4 different kinds of siding on one side of a small house. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
