Anybody know much about driveways, especially an uphill driveway?
I'll try and post a picture at some point... It's quite a long uphill driveway and though I wont be doing anything to it immediately, I really need to be thinking of what to do with it. The bulldozer guy suggested getting gravel brought in... true it would help with drainage and such but between the time, effort, and most importantly money, it might not be such a good idea, to me at least... At first I was thinking of just leaving it grass but was mentioned to me, by several people, that when it rained it would turn to mud... makes sense... But I'm thinking if my tires are only so wide, why bother with such a wide driveway... I was thinking about bricks and other options that I could possibly use to make two lines up the hill a bit wider than the tires so I could still have grass in other places such as the middle of the driveway... That would save on time and money etc... I was just thinking a little while ago, just thinking because I really have no clue yet, that I could take cinder blocks, lay them up the hill, fill the holes half way with gravel and the rest up with cement/concrete... something like that. I don't think cinder blocks cost toooooo much and that work could be done really easily by myself... There's almost enough rock there already(naturally) that it's almost like a gravel drive, but not quite... I have a lot of work ahead of me and need to be thinking about some of it... anyone have any ideas or thoughts... I need to have something of a driveway because it's a hill but I really need to do something cheap and easy...
