This charming driveway greeted me earlier in the week. A 1-car garage enlarged into a 2-car garage. A gravel drive edged with stones.

Then I discovered the driveway is where the money ran out. Notice the apron of cement leading into the drive. It's still the original single car garage apron. Then it curves gently wider.
.
Instead of several thousand dollars for a new driveway, it was several hundred dollars. Yes. that much of a difference. Did you know gravel runs about $70/ton?
.
And I like the gravel drive better. CHARM.

Often, the 'more money' choice is not the right choice.

I'm an all gravel, all the time, everywhere fan. Gravel drives are good things.
We're putting a gravel driveway in if I have my way. I wish I'd seen this post in time to have a look at the photos.
