Concrete near a 1754 river crossing
Hillsborough was laid out in 1754 at the point where the Great Indian Trading Path crossed the Eno River, and the town's oldest streets and lots still follow that original river-crossing layout more than two and a half centuries later. Driveways and walkways near the historic downtown often have to work around that older street grid rather than a modern subdivision plan.
Grading near the Eno River on Piedmont clay
Hillsborough's proximity to the Eno River means drainage planning matters as much as the underlying red Cecil clay when pouring concrete near the historic downtown. A driveway or patio close to the river should be graded with an eye toward how water moves toward the Eno, not just toward the street.
