Gravel Driveways

Crushed rock driveways are a popular choice for many people. They work beautifully in all styles of homes, from traditional to contemporary or cottage, and they can also be used for other projects, such as crushed rock pathways.

Designing a personalised, one-of-a-kind driveway is easier than you might think, and crushed rock is the perfect material for it. Crushed rock allows for virtually no limitations in terms of the shape and size that your design takes on; it is easy to pour and sculpt into any desired form, and the finished product is strong, durable, and versatile for all types of weather conditions.

Cracks in a concrete driveway are inevitable. Cracked asphalt is not worth the hassle because it can be costly to repair and maintain. Unlike other types of driveways, crushed rock will never crack, so you won’t have to worry about any problems with your surface! If you also live in an area prone to tree roots breaking up concrete and asphalt driveways, crushed rock will alleviate this problem.

A crushed rock driveway doesn’t require the same amount of time and effort as a concrete or asphalt driveway. Homeowners can walk on it immediately after completion, allowing you to use it right away when compared with other materials that need drying before being able to be used.

Crushed rock driveways require more frequent maintenance than concrete or asphalt to remain in pristine condition, but it will extend your driveway’s lifespan and prevent costly replacement in the long run. Crushed rock driveways can last a long time with proper upkeep, which is due to them being more resistant than asphalt or concrete.

While a crushed rock driveway is easier to maintain than a paved one, it does have a few drawbacks. Crushed rock driveways can develop potholes and dips over time, especially with heavy car use. These are easy fixes, however, as most homeowners will just need a shovel to fill in any holes they create over time using a small pile of gravel set aside for basic maintenance repairs.

Drainage ditches alongside the driveway can also get clogged with debris. Removing this debris will help maintain a clean and functional drainage system that allows for the proper flow of water when it rains. If there are any weeds or grass growing up through the gravel, you should spray a herbicide on top of them to kill off these plants before they start damaging your driveway’s structure.
