Putting in a driveway is no small chore. Or expenditure. I tend to make things stronger and thicker than the minimum. A few hundred bucks spent now could save you some major work and expense later. And, making the forms a couple of inches thicker now is no big deal. Materials can be taken out, or the forms merely made a little higher. Think long term. DO IT ONCE. DO IT RIGHT. Steve . |
