    Hi,

    My driveway does not have a dipped kerb and I have noticed some people have these concrete slab things outside to get into their drive way. Does anyone know what they are called or where to get one?

    Thanks!

    B&q , woodies etc. The issue is if someone trips on them. You are liable.

    OP are you sure you have planning permission for your driveway?

    No dropped curve suggests that someone added the drive after the house was built and after the road was put in.

    We asked DCC to do a dropped path years ago which they did without issue.
    There was supposed to be s charge but they never followed up about it.
    Granted things might have changed since.

    The house was built 6 years ago (it was the neighbours garden and he sold the land)only bought the house a month ago, not sure why the previous owners never had a dropped path.

    If this is the public footpath you are talking about, I'd be very wary of interfering with it. Talk to the local authority instead.
    To answer the question, people don't buy those slabs; they put wet concrete up against the kerb and leave it to set. Not sure if anyone still does it though. Back in the day, you could get away with things like that.
