Why do driveways crack

Why do driveways crack. All of us wonder more if it was under 5 years old. Drive ways cracks because of weathering and natural wear and tear. In winter times, especially when it snows, driveways are mostly covered with snow or a layer of snow. If drive way has developed small thin cracks, water enters thru these cracks. When temperature goes below -4c and it freezes.

As the atmosphere temperature goes up,  frozen water melts, and water expands. This is time when cracks gets enlarged and go bad to worst every year if not taken care of. This is due to the physical property of the water.

But have taken care of it from the very beginning  chances are you can extend the life.
