I don't like gravel. That's it.

  • noisy
  • scatters all over the neighborhood.
  • hard to walk on
  • dogs and cats crap in it
  • kids chuck it around and put it in their mouth.
  • doesn't even look good.
  • difficult and heavy to remove once you have come to terms will all of the above.

Gravel advocates... explain your case for gravelling your garden/drive.

Gravel sceptics, feel free to share your distaste.

Because this cost under $3000 USD in materials and I just have to get the gravel delivered and I can spread it myself with my own equipment. A concrete or asphalt road would require hiring a crew and I'd expect to have to spend closer to $20-30k+ for materials and labor.

I was thinking, "holy moly, tarmac is expensive in the states", then I saw the size of the drive!
