Widening the driveway

Though we regularly parked two cars side-by-side in the driveway, they didn't necessarily fit...  One car would inevitably wind up on a patch of dirt next to the asphalt.

Well, we were so impressed by Antonio's work on the planters (check them out here)  that we hired him to help us with this project.

My boss was getting rid of some cobblestones on his property, so I spent a day digging them out of his yard and loading them into his truck for delivery at the ranch.  Labor-intensive, but free!

Best cobblestones are free cobblestones!
Ready for placement

From there, Antonio and I spaced them from the back entryway to the street and he began to set them in concrete.



Last step - Antonio poured concrete with aggregate to match the original sidewalk.


Independently drying
Finished sidewalk / driveway extension!
