You have a few options for working with a driveway as a part of your containment system.

Concrete Driveway
If your driveway is concrete, you can place the boundary wire in a convenient expansion joint or create a groove using a circular saw and masonry blade.

• Clean out the expansion joint or groove.
• Place the boundary wire in the groove
• Cover the wire with an appropriate water proofing compound.
• It may help to you to use landscape staples or half of a small piece of PVC pipe or water hose to protect the wire on either side of the driveway or sidewalk. This will ensure that the wire isn't cut during activities such as weed eating or mowing near the driveway.

If you do not wish to cut your driveway and an expansion joint is not an option, you may want to consider using a double loop layout (See: What is the double loop layout and why do I need to do it?). You may also want to reconsider your layout and avoid the driveway as a part of your containment area.

Gravel or Dirt Driveway
If your drive is gravel or dirt, you can run the boundary wire through a PVC pipe or section of water hose to protect the boundary wire. Then bury the pipe or hose and wire.
