The driveway at out new home has been severely neglected. We can replace it right now, so I would like to try to clean it up and try to keep it together for a while. I've been watching videos and reading what I can find, but I havnt seen a direct answer for this question. We have a few spots of alligator cracks. I was thinking about using the latex-lite products. Do you trowel over the whole area or do you try filling in around each crack with the crack fillers? Also, when you use the jug of crack filler do you smooth it down with a putty knife of just fill in the crack and that's it? I think I understand what to do with holes and then sealing.

I have a new home where the asphalt crowns about 4 inches from the garage cement floor. The crown is ~1/4-3/8" and when it rains, the crown creates a dam and water gets under the garage door. It also puddles up against the wood frame and I can tell this will be a future wood rot problem. Any suggestions on how to reduce the crown (~8-10' in length)? Can it be heated and flattened or ground down? I was also thinking of heating with a blow torch and creating depressions for water to flow Appreciate the help
