DriveWay / Wet basement question

[vineyardblues]

Question ,
I was thinking of making my driveway double wide so we can park another car in the driveway, My question is this:
I have a wet basement, would it be worth it to have them bring the tar all the way up to the house so the water runs down the driveway ? right now it's a 7ft wide garden between the house and the drive way ?
Just tossing it out for ideas?
