 Filling between driveway and edging...

The previous owner of my house had landscaping timber as an edge between the flower bed and the driveway. It was rotting, so I ripped it out and am planning on putting brick in its place. However, with the brick in place, I now have a ragged gap between it and the edge of the driveway that I need to fill in.

Any suggestions on what to use?

Thanks!

I would use very, very fine gravel

Cement, epoxy, or a weatherproof silicon sealant.

Don't know how square or consistent the gap is, but maybe a expansion joint filler?

A lot of the yards around here call it quarry dust. Pack it in and tamp it down as good as you can, time and nature will do the rest. It will essentially level and solidify itself over a couple rain storms, it is anywhere between free to cheap and blends in with most surroundings.



If you showed up at a quarry around here and said you needed a few (Homer) buckets worth they probably wouldn't even charge you. . Not that its even all that expensive for a few (Loader) buckets worth. . Just be sure to make that distinction clear when your telling them

and realize it weighs a lot, a full bed in your pickup WILL break your suspension

My F-250SD can handle a cubic yard with no problem. 2 yards and I will be hitting my bump stops on any large bumps.

My buddies F-550SD Dump Body can take 5-6 yards and throw the GVWR straight out the window. Safe, no, works, yes.
