Terrace walks should foUow the general slope of the ground. DRIVEWAYS OF CEMENT On small properties the cement driveway is advisable and superior to any other. Oftentimes two cement tracks, with sod between, will take care of all traffic and yet apparently reduce the space taken up by the drive. WATERBOUND MACADAM Most of the driveways built today are those which are known as Telford roads (Fig. 56). These are usually constructed of twelve inches of stone over all. An eight inch foundation is provided of hard quarry stone, laid on edge, with the longest dimension placed. Fig. 57.—Very often the large stone for the base course in the drive may be quarried on the property.—See page 58.
