I have a problem. My house and driveway is lower than the street level. Usually, when this is the case, they will build a slight rise or berm into the driveway near the street, to keep the street water out. Unfortunately, there is no berm, and when there are heavy rains, I get a lot of street water. I have determined that if I built a berm only 3" high, it would prevent the majority of the street water from entering. So my question is this: Can I build a berm out of concrete directly over my existing driveway? Would it stick, would it break off? Any tips on how to do this so that it lasts? It would very much resemble a speed bump, same proportions.
Thanks, Thomas |

what exactly is a lip curb? Is that where the curb is shaped like a quarter pipe?
