It's been a while since we've had the new driveway, but I know that I never posted pictures of it finished. It so much nicer than the old driveway. There's no scraping the cars, and it looks much better. (the scraggly bushes you see in the yard are gone now, and the yard/weeds are cleaned up). Luckily, our drive is next to a fire hydrant (you can see the yellow paint in the second picture), or else the city would have made us expand the apron, which would have cost a couple thousand extra.
So the drive looks great, but we're still really unhappy about all the sand and rubble the contractors dumped in our back yard. And they didn't do a great job about grading the yard, which they said they would, and the driveway is actually a bit higher than the ground in the back instead of level, and it's almost level with the basement windows. So they didn't dig the drive low enough. Overall, not too impressed with their work, but it's still an improvement over the old drive.
