Damaged Asphalt Driveway With Wood Dividers
I'm sure a one time this driveway looked nice. Installing the
wood dividers turned a regular asphalt driveway into a more decorative
and later dangerous driveway. Please keep in mind that most wood rots
when touching soil. Wood is not going to be a good choice in the long
run for any walkways or driveways.
The wood dividers in the asphalt driveway create a gap for water to
drain in between the wood and the asphalt creating possible erosion
problems. The erosion of course leads to an uneven driveway eventually.
If the builder of this driveway didn't use any wood , you probably
wouldn't even see any irregularities.
This driveway hasn't had it happened yet but most wood ends up
deteriorating over time leaving large gaps in between the asphalt
creating a safety hazard.
