How to Build a Driveway Apron | This Old House

Wicked 😮

This is not a weekend project full stop

"This is possibly the worst video ever MADE."-Napolean Dynamite

"This is because grout stains"..... then proceeds to use the mixer right on top of the ashphalt.

Excellent video
Where to buy these type cobble stones? Any store name?

Hell no just for some rocks that Much work and no tools

Excellent video

No matter how many times I see this great video, I can't find a reason to change from "Like".

too much work

gay
yea let's destroy my driveway so I can have a fancy driveway, foh.

Would it work with this type of product to just fill in with topsoil and grow grass in between the cobblestones?

Why not have the whole driveway cobblestone? What is the point of putting a cobblestone racing stripe? What a colossal waste of time that leaves many with the same question.

HA! A weekend.

it doesn't even look good or cool what's the point

People love to throw money away

So a quick Sunday job?

No the hard part is when my wife get's home with that what have you done look...

Where can I get this type of stone mats.

Step One: Call a contractor.

Is this a joke???

Where do u get those stones mesh grid to buy...I can't find it anywhere

The driveway looked pretty OK to start with. If going to do something like this, then at least do the whole thing. Kinda looks weird just having a strip. Personally I'd rather pave it than cobblestone as visually it looks a lot better (and the whole drive). And that's only if the driveway was really in dire need of a overhaul. Like how they glossed over the removing of the old driveway. It's a hell of a lot of hard work.

My double-wide will look great with this driveway apron, said nobody.

Where can i get that stone

Actually it is not a creating. More like changing or repairing. But without need for this. Moreover I'm sure everyone who clicked here wanted to see the way all the blocks connected each other to make that possible, but no...

“Then comes the hard part - don’t walk on it” 😂

Too much work.

About building something. The drive ways that they desired to have built, once they have decided, already have built.... Get it.... Why mentally keep repeating? What has already made minds....

Ole Juan did a bang up job..........

Must be nice to have so much extra money to just waste on something like this.

ton of work for a piss poor payoff. for this much work you might as well do a full paver driveway...

Nice work but serious whats the point to do 2 meters of this thing! Better leave it as it was

Yeah Robert, that asphalt, concrete is brutally understated, except for the strong back and strong willed. Taint me looks great, but not a j o b I would endure. Get out the Craig’s list.

Oh yes, that looks super easy.

Tore up part of a perfectly good driveway, then laid some cobblestone for nothing.

"Looks just like the real thing"
* shows stones that looks like concrete versions of the real thing

This is a lot of work for something that really doesn't do anything to improve looks. Do whole drive over with real cobblestone.

After you're done prepare for a week of numb hands and back pain.

Update: Snow plow comes by and diggs it all up ruining everything.

So you destroyed a perfectly good looking driveway to add another driveway entrance that looks nothing like the rest of the driveway...GOT IT!😒 Money well spent on GARBAGE!

Definitely not a one man job.

This is for when you run out of real projects to do around the house.

Are those real cobblestones or concrete

Sure it looks nice but I don’t see a need for it, and it seems like a place where it would be hard to shovel snow and build up dangerous ice. Besides my city won’t let me do this.

LMAO! "now here comes the fun part" yes this is quite the project but hey happy wife happy life

WHY?

That looks awful

The first 10 seconds looked like it was going to be easy, after that he lost me
