Cementing your driveway to the curb is a waste of money!

I’ve decided that there’s no point in cementing your driveway all the way to the curb…
What you should rather do is have a nice driveway (cement or otherwise) up until about 4 meters from the curb and then use either bricks or those cement-grass things the rest of the way.
I say this, as right now, the City Council’s appointed contractors are ripping my driveway to shreds with an industrial digger to lay new piping for something!
Aside: I hope it’s a new water main as our water pressure is really atrocious here!
This is the second time this has happened in recent years, where previously, it was Telkom doing the ripping and they did a piss-poor job of repairing the driveway afterwards, which no doubt will happen again 
Taking this into consideration, I think bricks (or those cement-grass things) which can be lifted and relaid (not to mention being less expensive), would be a much better option and save us all time, hassle and unnecessary expense.
