Drop kerb edging

[8-P]

Hi All,

We had our drive done and expanded some years back and at the time we only had 2 cars. Now we have 3 and although the drive takes 3, they can’t all be driven off without moving one out the way. It’s a pain and I want to use car 3 more.

Looking into getting a drop kerb done and I think it would pass the inspection, however my road is fully blocked paved and the dropped edge is a block of sorts. Are these still available because I’m struggling to find them.





And yes my alpines look beautiful and it will be a shame!

Hard to tell from the picture, but it is something like this?

Actually that’s the closest thing I’ve seen.

On a normal road it would be easy, you’d just get these



But I can’t be the first person to have a non standard edge requirement.

One thing about blocks is that they are quite easy to dig up and re-set so if you choose this (or Shappers' alternative) then I'd dig up the whole three car length for the new transition kerbs so that they all match.

Would it not be enough to simply move the concrete edging to where the pink/purple flower is. I assume the tarmac is actually your land?

Not neccesarily - it might well be an access strip for utilities.

Again assumption, but I think the OP is looking at extending into this area anyway. My point was more about whether it was necessary to move the drop kerb up when a little more access might just be enough.

Correct it is.

In theory I could dig the bed out and put a surface of sorts down but you’re not even meant to put trees on service strips even though the drive part is tarmac! I don’t want to bump the car up the existing kerb though and I’d rather have fresh matching tarmac and matching blocks the full run if I can, rather than what could be 80% existing blocks and 20% which would look guff.
