Driveway stone

[dcawkwell]

Hi Group,

I have a long driveway about 70 yards (old farm house). Mostly road planings.
This is a bit rough old and tatty.
I want to improve this but haven't really much idea about what is best here.

I dont want it to cost too much so ok to get a lorry load of stone and apply this down
the drive. What sort of stone should I use size, type etc.

Problem I have with stone driveway is leaves from the trees seem to bed in and this
brings dirt into the house.

Would tarmac be possible or economic? I did ask for two quotes from companies one
turned up and measured up then never heard from them again tsk!

Tarmac is versatile and comparatively maintenance free. As long as things like good (stone) base, edgings, run-off, camber, drainage, thick base and top coat are considered then tarmac is a durable and economical option. Leaves will still gather on the mac unless you are an avid broomer.
