Every winter the township plow caught the edge of this drive at the street and took a piece of it away. The owners wanted a new drive and an edge that would still be there in thirty years.
We took the old drive out and laid six inches of new stone, then set two rows of granite block in a curve at the street, in concrete, to the height of the road. Borders of the same block went along both sides. The asphalt went down hot the next day, rolled tight to the block, and we will be back next summer to seal it once it has cured.
