QuestionShould two (2) sets of 2ft x 2ft brick columns be built the same height, even if the driveway entrances are at different heights? 2 columns for entrance of semicircle driveway; 2 columns for exiting?Community AnswerYes, they should be the same size, even if you need to adjust the topography a bit.

QuestionI was given some brick pillars for my cement driveway. The pillars are hollow and I placed them on the cement driveway where I wanted them.
