If you have recently converted or are considering converting your driveway to a hardscape, please bear in mind:
1) You MUST have the sprinklers professionally capped.
2) Please be mindful of the irrigation pipes under the driveway. Our irrigation is 20 years old and getting brittle. It does not take much to accidentally break an irrigation pipe under the driveway when removing the old sod or installing a hardscape. In one unfortunate instance a broken pipe leaking water under the hardscape was discovered AFTER concrete was poured in, necessitating cumbersome and costly repairs.
3) Please control the weeds. Driveway hardscape is your property and your responsibility. Stones seem to be a popular solution but weeds will grow between them if a weed barrier is not installed properly.
