Limestone Versus Gravel Driveways

Your driveway is an important aspect of your home or business. In regards to your home, it serves as an entrance to your home or garage as well as a parking space. In terms of a business, it is a busy thoroughfare, with customers entering and exiting in their vehicles, as well as parking.

The material you use in your driveway plays an essential part in its use, durability and ability to withstand the elements. In Western Pennsylvania and Eastern Ohio, this is particularly important, as the seasons can be temperamental as well as extreme, wreaking havoc on your driveway materials.

The best and simple solution, one that is proven with time, is a limestone driveway. Crushed limestone driveways are often confused with gravel driveways, however they are very different materials. Limestone is a time-tested material that is known for its durability and has been used for ages, including being used in the construction of the Great Pyramids of Giza in Egypt, a testament to its durability.
