Hello
I've got a strange situation in the front corners of my garage. What would be the best solution to keep out snow and for looks???? Tear out the blacktop and pour concrete?? Leave blacktop and skim top and fill in front with concrete?? If I tear out all blacktop the corner of the garage will have no support.. pics are attached..

Thanks

Do you mean to say that the garage corners are just setting on asphalt? If so, who did that kind of work? To do it properly it is going to take some dismantling and rebuilding. For another...although you are setting treated lumber on top of it, you will eventually have water damage. Water will wick up the boards. Not to go without sayng that any insulation , etc, will have some damage to it. There is no simple solution to what you have. The cheapest would be to brace and tear out the asphalt. The best would be to brace and put some type of foundation in. It just looks like you have too much going on with the wood on asphalt and then all of the form boards or dividers between the concrete slabs.
