Re: New driveway blues
I’m building a house in mid-coast that needs a half-mile long driveway.
There are lots of technical issues (water, inclines, an existing driveway for half the distance with a center hump that causes every car to bottom out, and plenty of ledge in exactly the wrong spot.
The excavator is confident that he can solve the problems, and I have confidence in him, but we disagree on aesthetics. I don’t want an asphalt driveway even though plowing snow is a fact of life here. I want something that will be stable and level for a long time, but looks like a seldom-used country lane. Is there any way to use contemporary materials and techniques to get the performance I need without having a driveway that looks new?

Hiya Fluffy.
As a first time poster Welcome to Breaktime.
You might want to repost your question over in the General Discussion folder instead of here in the Breaktime Fests folder as it will get seen by more folks over there.
Got to wondering what made you decide to put it in this Breaktime Fests folder over the choices of the other folders available as General Discussion, Construction Techniques and the like?
Glad your here. Cheers.
