    Hi everyone! I want to make a new driveway to my house, and for a week I have been racking my brain – gravel or concrete? On the one hand, concrete seems to be more durable and looks neat. On the other hand, gravel is cheaper and, as I heard, copes well with rain. The budget is limited, but I do not want to save at the expense of quality. Plus, I am interested in knowing how often you need to maintain a gravel driveway?

    Hi! We settled on gravel. This is a really practical and affordable solution. We worked with professionals https://www.siteprep.com/gravel-driveways/ – they did everything quickly and efficiently. I liked that you can choose the type and color of gravel so that it matches the house. The road tolerates rain well – the water drains quickly, does not wash away anything. By the way, it is also convenient in winter, especially if you don’t want to break a shovel on ice, as it happens with concrete. So if you are looking for a balance between price and quality, gravel is a great choice.

    Hello everyone! So far I am leaning towards gravel – I like that it can be easily redone or expanded in the future. But concrete also has its advantages. I think a lot depends on the climate, soil type and budget. I will follow the discussion, it is useful to read the opinions of those who have already done it.
