What are the advantages of GP?
If water accumulates on a gravel driveway during the winter, it can freeze and make traction difficult, particularly on a grade. During the spring and summer months, the stones shift whenever traffic passes over them. This ultimately pushes the gravel beyond the initial boundary of the drive. Over time potholes often form in gravel driveways and much of the stone that is pushed to the periphery is lost to the surrounding soil. Of course much of the stone is also driven into the ground by the weight of the cars and trucks passing over it. The end result of the constant traffic is that periodically new stone must be applied. The good news is that over time this stone becomes an excellent base for an asphalt drive. Paving a driveway where the stone has been down long enough to be forced into the soil by continuous traffic is less expensive than new construction (ND) since less labor and materials are involved. There are several advantages of an asphalt driveway over a gravel one. Because
