Question
My son just built a new home on a low lying lot.  They had quite a bit of fill brought in for both the yard and the driveway.  The drive is approx. 11 foot wide with slopes on each side approx 2 foot.  there is a turn-around up near the house, but it just doesnt seem to work.  Do you have any ideas to warn people when they are getting too close too the sloped sides?  we would hate to have anyone slide off the drive.  Coming up the drive looking at the house the garage is on the right with the turnaround on the left below a front yard.  The driveway coming out of the garage is quite steep so most parking will be in the drive and turnaround.  If you have trouble picturing this I can try to get you a photo.  Thanks for your help,

Marianne

Answer
I would add a curb unless you require the shoulder along the drive to trun or back out. Without seeing picture its hard for me to say much else. email two or three clear photos less than 500kb each to [email protected] and I will take a closer look.
