While I'm (somewhat impatiently) waiting for our planning meeting to take place, Dave is busy behind the scenes. One thing he's currently researching is the cost to put a road into the development. There are two options for the finish- gravel and pavement. We are leaning towards gravel. I looked online to find information about both.
Gravel Driveways
Pros:
Easy on your budget. Gravel is one of the most affordable surface material options available.
Easy to maintain.
Diverse style and quick installation
Cons:
Ruts and sinkholes may form.
It can be dirty, particularly in summer.
Concrete Driveways
Pros:
Flexible in extreme climate conditions (very strong).
Long lifespan.
Clean surface.
Cons:
Costly to put in.
Costly required maintenance due to breakdown.
