fixing driveway culvert dip

[nancy237]

Our house is on the market and a few people have complained that their
car scraped coming in the drive because of a concrete dip we have that collects and diverts water down a drain.

Its about a yard wide and dips in the middle.

The realtor wants me to add gravel to the middle to reduce the dip but that will wash down the drain and stop it up...

What would be good to reduce the dip (temporary is okay) that won't shift if someone drives over it..

I'd use some cold patch black top it pack down n stay but with some wrk be taken back out shouldn't bond with concrete

number "2 plus" stone will work fine. Take a heck of a bunch of water to move 2 inch stone .

That leaves out Romney... Ron Paul has more sense than to volunteer. Reduce the dip... Bernenke? Oh wait, if someone drives over him, he might go down the drain too.

Use crusher run. Have the truck dump 3/4 of the load, cover it with builder plastic, and then have him dump the last 1/4. The plastic will keep the stuff under it from moving around. Who cares if there are a few leaks.

Any loose material will just be a temporary fix.
A more permanant solution would be a steel grate

If no one scrapes bottom, just put a BUMP sigh on both sides of it. If anyone has a question about it just explain why it is there.
