I've got a major problem with my driveway where the concrete slabs are lifting due to freezing conditions. It's getting pretty bad, with one of the slabs already cracking. Should I just wait it out until it gets worse and then replace the whole driveway, or is there a chance to fix it now? By the way, my house was built in 2017 and here's a picture for reference: https://imgur.com/a/1gLmxzf.

It’s a good idea to let the slabs dry out and see how they settle before making any big decisions. One tip is to fill in any cracks or seams with a sealer to prevent water from getting underneath in the future. That could help reduce the problem later on!
Honestly, it seems like these concrete issues tend to settle over time. If they look rugged but still function, there are ways to cheaply level them out. It might not look perfect, but it could still be usable until you decide to go for a full fix later on.
You could also try lifting the slab to level it out and then injecting some expanding foam underneath. It’s a popular DIY fix that many have shown on YouTube. Just keep in mind that this might work for some slabs and not for others, especially if they’re already raised or uneven with adjoining slabs.
