I do!
Nine years ago (December 2002), Hubby and I purchased the Yellow Cottage. The previous owners, dear friends of ours, insisted on giving us a run-down of every wart and potential disaster on the property. Full disclosure was NOT a problem here. One of the major projects they swore should be the next on our list was a complete re-do of the driveway. Knowing they were right we eliminated any care and feeding of the current cracked, pitted, and shredded driveway. But then...we never did the big project.
Until now!
 |
| Big pile o' dirt! |
 |
| Grading to avoid any stormwater draining into house. |
 |
| Leveling and tearing out of old railroad tie retaining wall (to be replace by natural rock wall) |
 |
| Shovel, shovel. And finally that old rusty b-ball hoop coming down! |
 |
| Looking better already. Luckily they haven't destroyed my overhanging trees...yet. |
And what is the best part about this project? Well...I suppose...that I'm out of town while it is underway. I'll be joining the pain of parking a block away soon however since it will be 2-3 weeks before it is complete.

We always had broken, cracked & cobbled driveways until we moved last winter. The best part?shoveling snow is a lot easier.
Wow, you have a long driveway, it looks like a scenic drive. MIME
I now have driveway envy. Our driveway is, I mean was stone until it got completely grown over by grass and weeds. It's on the to-do list but pretty far down. Awesome you guys did this!
