Driveway to path transition

[owas]

You may recall I had a bit of a mess up with the people that cleared up and gravelled my driveway so it ended up being way too deep.

I've managed to get it down to an acceptable depth and then decided to ignore it.

Really need to sort out the transition from the path to the sloped driveway, it's a mess, was a small wall and there's still the first course of blocks there, I don't really want to mess with the blocks though because it'll probably make a mess of the path? The dropped kerb bit is new, cost a few quid!

I'm just not too sure on going about doing so?

I've got a load of new council slabs I could use but I don't think that would look any good.

My thinking was anything I use for the transition I can then fill the rough areas with cold tarmac?

Ignore the mess, the whole front is part of my very long to do list for next year

What about that steel on edge mesh stuff ? Or some of the newer gravel retention pavers.
That might work well to hold the gravel at the edge, and a few feet into the path where the loading tapers off.

I hope the council did it otherwise B'ham is a little short of cash just now.

Sorry I don't follow?

I'm not Birmingham though.

You have get a drop kerb with your council otherwise it's not legal to drive over the kerb.
They came down our last house road in the 80's and charged all the illegal drops £600, those bumping over the kerb like me got a bargain £800 for the council doing the work

Oh!
No mine was from the council, they just did it best they could up to the wall.
Near 3k I think it was and about a year wait
