As you can tell, I am finally getting my railroad tie curbing replaced with granite curbing. Here in New Hampshire granite curbing is everywhere. They use salt on the roads during the winter and so concrete curbing would just disintegrate. Besides New Hampshire is known as the "Granite State." I think you can see from both these pictures that in addition to the curbing, I think I am also getting about a foot or a foot and half more of yard. This first picture particularly shows where the road was and by that then, where the old curbing was. The granit curbing is about a foot and a half further out into the road. I wonder if they are going to discover the change or just leave it like that. I guess I don't mind, but it does seem odd that the road in front of my house is narrower than in front of my neighbor's house.



So now it is up to me to figure out how to make the new curbing look right with my yard. Does anyone know, should the yard be even with the top of the curbing? Or can I leave the curbing higher than the yard? It might be kind of dangerous. But if the yard is to be higher, then I am going to have to do something about making my yard more level!
