Should I avoid driving on the edges of my new driveway?

The edges are actually the weakest part of your new driveway since it lacks side support. So you must avoid driving on the edges or else they will crumble or crack.

It is recommended that you build up the sides of your driveway with topsoil to support the edges and enhance its appearance. Be sure to allow about one inch from the top of the driveway for sod growth and water drainage.
