no offence meant Spence

I think your a very gifted mason and or stone worker...

really i do.... but the changes in texture make it look

like hodge podge.... or not really well thought out scabbed on work..


I would call an asphalt company and tar the whole stinkiin driveway

otherwize you'll never hear the END of it.... E V E R !

Now, i know that's totally NOT what you were trying to accomplish Spence......
but ...specifically ....you pissed off the boss lady...
so ask her opinion first... like? would you prefer we tarred over the whole driveway then? let it be her decision... and you won't regret it later...

The whole driveway would cost a fortune...not an option...

Why do I even bother

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.

I have seen dozens of properties on the cape dig up have their driveway to put in this affect with the stones. The problem here isn't your driveway or your stonework...

Is that the street that is all ripped up? If so, when was the last time it was paved? If that road was paved your job would look much nicer. But you did a great job!!!
