Current surface is some pavement and some gravel.
Our lot is long and narrow with steep drop off on both sides of driveway, so there is really no room to relocate the driveway.
The ultimate answer would be a heated drive-but that is not practical.
Any ideas on best surface for traction that is plowable?
Any other ideas on how to deal with a steep driveway?
Your experience and comments appreciated!
Thank you,
Bill

After re-reading this post and all the responses, I feel like there is basic info missing. Is this really a year round residence? What did the previous owner do? Did you ask? What do the neighbors know? Will they tell you the place was never used in the winter? Or, will they point to a solution from the past? If it's really year round, how do the fuel delivery folks access in the winter?
