Time for a complete tear-out of our asphalt (black-top) driveway. Our house sits near the back of a rectangular 1 acre lot, so the driveway is long. This is a big job.
I'm really interested in a metal (or other) edging. It seems that asphalt driveways crumble at the edges, with grass/weeds growing in and doing further damage over time. One place I got a quote from mentioned that the real advantage is that they run the compactor right over the edge, and w/o the edging, the edge isn't as compact and solid.
The second place I got a quote from kind of talked down metal edging, saying it lifts in the frost and they end up tearing it out for people. I'm having trouble finding anything useful on the internet.
Any experience? And this is in N IL, so winter and summer weather, and I hire someone to plow with a truck.
