[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Put a concrete planter (or angry looking dragon) on wheels in the center of the end of your driveway. Move it when you come and go. Or [b]place two at the sides wide enough for your car to get through, but narrow enough that it becomes the least easy option for others to use.[/b][/quote] This is the easiest solution besides letting it go. I would let it go. If your asphalt is breaking down, it is so unlikely to be from occasional cars turning around in it. It is likely a poor quality job. Who told you that occasional repeated turns would cause this to happen? An asphalt contractor looking to get business from you to repair it? That sounds just like something as slightly disreputable contractor would say. [/quote] Op here. It’s happening multiple times daily. We just moved to the neighborhood last month and when we visited we never had anyone pull in and turn around. A friend who does work like this locally shared he has seen some homes driveways develop dips in the neighborhood from simply turning their tires in their own driveways. Why the material was used here I have no idea. There is an HOA so I am sure any concrete may need to match the color of the standard asphalt. [/quote] If you moved in a month ago how could you possibly know the reason the asphalt is deteriorating due to people turning around in your driveway. If ts broken down since your move you definitely have a defect. [/quote] Op here. The project manager explained this along with the friend of ours who does work in the neighborhood. The asphalt used for the driveway is not the same as that used on the main streets. [/quote]. This sounds like something that should have been discussed during your home inspection if this is the real source of the problem and it should have factored into your decision to buy. [/quote]
