Concrete transition
My concrete sidewalk is almost 3 inches lower than the driveway, which
crosses it. To avoid a tripping hazard, I put a cement transition in, making a ramp about a foot in length, but over the years this has broken up and now I must redo it. There is no sinking involved, they just built them this way in our neighborhood. I need a material that can transition from three inches thick to no inches where it blends into the sidewalk, and will last through freezing winters and pedestrian traffic (and bicycles; young kids love to launch their bikes off my ramp). What is the best material for this project? Also, there is a tarred expansion slot between the driveway and sidewalk, and I want to put something between my ramp and the driveway so no water can get in there to freeze and dislocate my ramp. |
