Width, depth and surface: sorting the damage
That 1968 median comes from the Census Bureau's 2020–2024 survey, with a margin of 4 years either way. Whatever its age, damaged concrete is sorted three ways: how wide a crack has opened (see the questions below), how deep the damage runs, and whether the surface itself is failing.
Depth decides between a patch and new concrete. A partial-depth patch should stay within the top third of a pavement, by the Federal Highway Administration's guidance, and the American Concrete Pavement Association switches to a full-depth repair once unsound concrete nears half the slab's depth.
Where the surface has only scaled, and lightly or moderately at that, the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association says a thin bonded resurfacing can repair it, provided the concrete beneath is cleaned and sound; the repair won't match the original color, though. Where the whole top is worn but the slab is sound, see resurfacing in Laguna Park; a slab that is whole but low is a lifting job for concrete leveling. All Laguna Park services are listed together.

Listen for hollows, mark the shapes
The concrete is sounded to find hollow, delaminated areas, and simple repair shapes are marked around them.
Saw to sound concrete
Edges are saw-cut, and loose or unsound concrete is broken out and cleaned away.
Patch or repour, then cure
A patch or a new full-depth section goes in and is kept curing before the slab is used again.

Questions about cracks, spalls and patches
Can a crack about ⅛ inch wide simply be filled?
Often, yes. One published guide finds that a crack only about ⅛ inch wide can be dealt with by repairing it, while a significantly wider one should be checked by a contractor in case a bigger problem threatens the slab's structural integrity.
Should a crack wider than ¼ inch be patched or resurfaced?
Below ¼ inch, filling or patching will do as a stopgap, though a patch won't keep water out. Past ¼ inch, and wherever the surface is spalling or discolored, the same guide points to resurfacing or a concrete overlay instead.
Is there a standard method for repairing spalls on a driveway or patio?
The American Concrete Institute's field guide for spall repair on horizontal surfaces covers exterior slabs on the ground, along with structural slabs, balconies and interior floors. It begins by sounding the concrete for delaminated areas, laying out simple repair shapes and saw-cutting their edges no deeper than the concrete cover over the steel.
