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? Dont
    know?
  • This is a guide to benefits and drawbacks of
    using the driveways suitable for the construction
    and budget you adhere.

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

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.

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.
