Assistance will be appreciated. I need to run a garden hose hose (5/8" ID) across my 25' wide asphalt well used driveway. I need a product (hose ramp or whatever) which will secure and protect the hose when cars, bicycles, and the grandkids run across it; at the same time protecting the grandkids from being tripped up by it. The hose will be across the driveway for an indefinite period of time.

Any ideas??

Suggestions and advice will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Don't run a hose across the driveway, instead, build a simple lattice arch, start ivy growing on it, run your hose over the arch. Voila!!!

Cut an 1 1/2" channel in the drive, lay the hose in it, cover with conduit and make good the asphelt. Guaranteed not to trip the kids and look far better than a hose ramp.

This is what St Louis did

This is what Utah did

And this is what the Romans did to get their hoses across the driveway

All good ideas
