Can I deduct a percentage of Driveway Repair for home office expense?  I also have a personal car used solely for work which is parked on a daily basis on this driveway.

Only costs relating to the portion of your home used for business are deductible. Other expenses such as landscaping or lawn care cannot be deducted. IRS publication 587 specifically lists lawn care or painting a room not used for business as not deductible.  I suspect a driveway would be treated the same.
