Two years ago I bought a house with concrete driveway on a fairly steep slope. The driveway was made by previous owner, DIY style, and due to weakness of original materials used and bad design (lack of drainage and uneven angle) it is now in state of visible disrepair. Since day one I couldn't park any of our cars all the way down by the garage because there is sudden change of the angle in the sloped surface and about 3/4 way down front of my car starts scaping on the driveway.

I don't think I have the kind of money that would allow me to dig it all up, reshape the slope then re-surface the driveway so I thought I would ask if there is any feasable way of perhaps paving it and somehow even out all the waves, bulges and angles of the driveway? What do fellow forumites think?

I can't see any other way than the full dig out etc.

Have you considered suind the surveyor you used when you bought the house?

Bob's right. the only way to fix that is to jack-hammer it out and start again. You can't make a silk purse out of a pig's ear.
