My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

DRIVEWAY MATERIAL?

9 years ago
ABSOLUTELY LOVELY LANDSCAPE DESIGN! For our house in VT, I'm in search of hard pack for the driveway that will match the pea gravel we have in the patio area. Is this hard pack? Thanks for any info you can provide!

    Thanks for the question. This driveway is actually loose pea gravel. But you can do a chip seal application, which is basically an asphalt driveway with a layer of the gravel of your choice embedded in the top layer.
