  1. 4 MOST POPULAR TYPES OF DRIVEWAYS

  2. INTRODUCTION • The driveway can be an unnoticed constructive element of any construction, yet in several cases, it is what people stumble up first. • Driveway adds a finishing touch to the architecture and makes a distinct impression when viewed from the streets. Basically, there are choices for what you want your driveway surface to be, such as: • Decomposed Granite • Two Coat Gravel Driveways • Concrete Driveways • Hot Mix Asphalt Driveway • But, what type of driveway to have? What are the features, advantages, and disadvantages? Don’t know? • This is a guide to benefits and drawbacks of using the driveways suitable for the construction and budget you adhere.

  3. TYPES OF DRIVEWAYS • Decomposed Granite Driveways • Two Coat Gravel Driveways • Concrete Driveways • Hot Mix Asphalt Driveways

  4. DECOMPOSED GRANITE DRIVEWAYS Prepare the space for laying the Decomposed Granite. Then a landscaping fabric is supposed to be laid down and landscape edging should be mounted surrounding the perimeter. BENEFITS • Laying it increases the aesthetic of the construction. • Easy in flattening the driveway. • A Budget-friendly option for a driveway. DRAWBACKS • Decomposed Granite driveway is difficult to maintain when completely dry. • When DG is wet, it comprises the tendency to stick the feet.

  5. TWO COAT GRAVEL DRIVEWAYS The process starts by preparing a base first. After laying the base next is to spread a layer of Bitumen for sturdy effects. BENEFITS • If appearance is essential, selecting right coloured gravel to match the construction is a good idea. DRAWBACKS • If thinking of constructing it on a steep incline, think twice! Two coat gravel driveway is saggy on the surface and can wash downhill easily. • A hoe is always needed to remove the heap of leaves and levelling the surface. Visit For More Information

  6. CONCRETE DRIVEWAYS Summarised process of laying Concrete Driveway: • Then flatten the concrete poured. • Finishing the concrete surface. • Level the concrete. Important tip - it has the tendency of strengthening quickly when mixed with water. • Lastly, remove the framework for utilising the constructed concrete driveway. • Measure the area and order the materials. • Access the tools needed to carry the concrete driveway. • Set up the ground for laying the concrete. • Cut and lay the formwork essential for the structure. • Pour the concrete in the set framework. BENEFITS • Concrete driveways last for 20 years. • Easy to clean and maintain. DRAWBACKS • Extra expenditure is to be made to re-colour the faded concrete surface in long run. • Budget is too expensive compared to hot mix asphalt driveways. • The Re-coating of a concrete driveway is not possible.

  7. HOT MIX ASPHALT DRIVEWAYS Hot mix asphalt is a mixture of Bitumen – combination of sand, gravel, and by-product of petroleum. It is also termed as Bitumen or Asphaltic Concrete. Generally, it is prepared at a very hot temperature of 170Deg. Laid on the roads in hot form so that it can turn solid at air temperature and can be driven at the very moment. BENEFITS • Affordable as compared to other driveways. • Inexpensive re-coating process and highly durable. • An Asphalt driveway is easy to lay and offers immediate access to walk and drive easily. DRAWBACKS • The base stays soft for the initial months so, avoid sharp turns by cars as it may end up dislocating the laying. • It has more tendency of absorbing petrol. Avoid filling lawn mowers on it.
