A great alternative to concrete is to use asphalt or clay pavers

Don’t forget to leave at least 3 inches between the stones and the top of the concrete. After you have poured the concrete, wait 30 minutes for the cement to begin to set before moving the stones into place. The gravel should be about 1/16th of an inch thick. Keep your eye out for cracks. You can make sure that the concrete is sealed to prevent moisture and dirt from getting in by troweling over it.

You should also keep the gravel clean. Use a power mower to keep it free of weeds, and pick up any broken pieces with a rake. For best results, apply an aggregate sealer at least once a year. This will add color and keep the driveway looking new. A gravel driveway is a great choice for most Concrete driveway homeowners. It is affordable, low maintenance, and easy to maintain. A gravel driveway has been shown to last longer than a poured concrete driveway.
