Replace your wood border 4x4's or whatever those are. And take them all the way out to the main road. Make sure they are level. Then, back fill gravel to the top of the 4x4 or whatever edge posts you using on the ground. Use Yella-Wood or a similar brand that has been treated for ground contact. Otherwise you'll be pull those border blocks up every couple years to replace them.
And someone mentioned blacktop only lasting a year? The majority of homes in the north east use blacktop. You seal it every year or two, but it lasts at least 10-12 years with the proper care. My blacktop parking area is roughly 7-10 years old. It's only just now starting to show a little wear because I didn't seal it the past 2 years.
