Driveway Stone Recommendation

The fancy homes will either be paved or blue stone.
Any loose crushed stone is fine.

If the driveway is gravel now and that is what they like then just have a dirt contractor come in with more gravel. And spread it out evenly. Any dirt contractor can do this.

Paving is the best but expensive. Many prefer the "dirt" look for a camp driveway.

Why can't they add a loose brown sand to the hot top when paving. That would give it a brownish look as if it were dirt.

A paved driveway that's steep can be terrifying when iced-up. A neighbor who has a paved driveway claims that he's never slid downhill into the public roadway.

To show the situation, I've got to take photos of that driveway.

Another neighbor, with a "sorta-paved" driveway can't get up his driveway—on occasions—in the summer! I like the odor of "burning rubber", but those squealing tires come through our wooded lots like someone's "doing doughnuts".
