My house was a model home, and so, both different than all others in the development (mine is the only one with cathedral ceiling, apparently too expensive for normal models), which includes apparently the fact that they rushed the driveway concrete job. Over the years, the miserable lack of good base, use of flimsy wire instead of rebar and general shoddiness made my driveway the only one in the neighborhood that looked like it had gone through a San Francisco quake. I used Angie's List to find a good concrete guy and they started breaking up the old sidewalk and driveway:

When they were done, they carted all of it to a recycling center that crushes the concrete and makes a composite that they (and other firms) buy back for backfill under the concrete jobs:
