Driveway

Over the past several years, our narrow driveway has been breaking down.  Whenever we parked our car in the driveway, we scraped the corner of the driveway, which is now much higher than the driveway.  I was not quite sure why this was happening.  Earthquakes?  Hill slippage?

Setting the question of why this is happening aside, we tried to figure out what to do.  Where do you find a contractor to deal with this?  How much should it cost?  How many estimates should we get?  Do we need a permit to fix the problem?  How much does that cost?

As the problem grew worse, so did our need to do something.  But I really lacked the time.

Believe it or not, help came from an unlikely source -- The City of Oakland!
