Channelling runoff from road

[stratos66]

Hello all,
Great site and it's helped me out hugely with some paving projects in the past. Now I have an issue with water runoff from the road badly eroding a driveway.

Water running down the edge of the road (a rural unclassified road) streams down the entrance to the driveway, which is steep. Combined with the recent freezes, it has washed out the Tarmac from around the entrance and further down the steep drive, which is compacted hardcore.

I want to stop the water from running down the drive in the first place. We can channel it away from the drive entrance into a small stream on the property. But I don't know the best way of doing this. And, if possible, any solution needs to look low key and blend in to a rural surrounding.

Thanks for your help
Dan

Reshape the tarmac at the lower end of the drive adjacent (but not on) the Highway.

2 kerbs laid flat with the bullnoses touching each other on a concrete bed is what we use on our unadopted lane or for the worse areas a kerb laid sticking up a inch or 2 and a kerb laid flat against it. falling into the stream or just a linear channel drain concreted in at threshold.
