Could anyone please share advice on the pros, cons and construction considerations of a a Crushed Granite/ Granatic Sand Driveway?
We have built a cottage style ‘old Queenslander’ type house which would lend it’s self to a gravel driveway. Recent quotes for an aggregate or textured concrete driveway are upward of $10, 000 for the 90m2 and just not attainable at this point (or any time soon for that matter). Crushed granite seems like a much more affordable option.
Would Granatic sand, or Crushed Granite as it seems to be called in SE Qld, work as a driveway? Would our small sideways slope be a consideration in the function of this surface? Is this a DIY job within the capacity of normal ‘handy folk’ or is this something that has to be laid by the professionals? And lastly ….who are the professionals who do this kind of work ?
Looking forward to any advice?
