My goal was to minimize the visual impact between the cobblestones and road. I had to set the stones back, no option there...I had to cut a line so I could dig out the bed and get a nice thick layer of asphalt, otherwise it would break up. I'm assuming it will lighten over time which it already has a bit.

The road is a freaking mess. I believe it's a real street but the city does not plow it or maintain it. My neighbor has been applying cold patch for the last 25 years, and it's really falling apart.

If anyone has a better idea I'd like to hear it, even though I ain't changing chit

Seriously, what would it cost to resurface a ratty old road on a 6%+ grade? It's 20 yards from our house to the top of the hill and about 60 yards to do the whole road to my neighbor's house.
