Hi,
Firstly, what a great site, it's given me the confidence to tackle my own drive over Easter. To that end i have a question to ask if i may.
The driveway:
I live in a mid terraced house, the drive is 6m*6m (currently 1/3 grass and 2/3 cracked and worn flags) I'm going to dig this out and put down a membrane, 100mm of MOT1 and then 25-30mm of sand followed by Coredrive (probably the recycled 25/38 version, 25mm deep with 38mm pockets) Then add the gravel with 10mm coverage over the grids. http://www.coregravel.co.uk/products/coregravel-gravel-stabilisation
I've thought about the edging for a while and i'm keen to prevent the gravel from spreading onto the pavement. My idea is to edge the driveway adjacent to the pavement with bradstone block kerbs so that the driveway is 10mm below the height of the pavement(i.e comes about half way up the slope profile of the kerb block)

I'm hoping having a small lip will retain the majority of gravel from escaping onto the pavement.
My concern is movement of the edging blocks with car traffic. I've read on the site about haunching and bedding and will follow these instructions, but with gravel rather than blocks in front of the kerbs, do you think this will work?
I hope this makes sense, any suggestions/feedback is very welcome.
Thanks
