Contact your municipality or county - same place that takes care of building permits, etc. If they don't take care of that they'll be able to point you in the right direction. Is your driveway really narrow? You should be able to get into some crazy sloped driveways by coming in at a sharp angle. I've had lower cars before that I've taken into very steep driveways without dragging but a single car width reduces the angle you can come in on. The trailer is going to be a lot tougher....

Solution, pour cement in that area between the sidewalk and the street...

That's gotta be a photoshopped pic.

Thanks for all of the info! I will definitely check out some of that stuff. Pulling my car into the driveway at an angle actually results in the one rear wheel being lifted off the ground a little because of the rigidity of the car. Pulling the trailer out results in the area around the hitch bottoming out and hitting. It is a narrower driveway also. I don't think that product mentioned earlier will work because it is a steeper, longer sort of incline into the driveway.
Thanks again.
