Is a resin driveway cheaper than concrete?

• <div><p>Compared to a 10x20 concrete driveway costing between <b>$800 and $3,000</b>, a resin bound driveway of the same size costing <b>$3,900 to $4,000</b> is the more expensive option. However, the cost still makes resin a cheaper option compared to a 10x20 paver driveway costing an average of <b>$12,000</b>.</p></div>

Which gravel can you harden into a solid surface?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-decomposed-granite.htm">Decomposed granite</a> and caliche can both harden into a solid surface using a plate compactor. However, due to decomposed granite’s fine particles, it’s not suitable for driveway surfaces. Some homeowners use pea gravel mixed with a gravel-binding resin to bind the loose stones and create a solid surface that won’t shift like loose gravel.</p></div>

Q: Do you need a permit to build your own driveway?

• <div><p>The answer to whether or not you need to get a permit before you start your driveway can vary widely based on local ordinances and the scope of your <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/driveway-ideas.htm">driveway ideas</a>. In most urban and suburban areas, a permit is needed before building a new driveway to ensure that a homeowner is using safe materials and proper drainage practices while designing and constructing a new driveway. In some rural areas, a homeowner may not be required to apply for a permit. When building a new driveway on your own, always check with your local building department to see if you need to request a permit. When hiring a driveway contractor, verify that the right permits are being used before driveway construction begins.</p></div>

Q: Why do my new pavers look dull?

• <div><p>If your new pavers look dull, it&rsquo;s usually because of efflorescence. It is a chalky, white powder that is released when lime gets wet. If you have the patience, simply wait a year or so out. Efflorescence will be washed away naturally by rain. You can also use a pressure washer to restore faded pavers covered by efflorescence.</p></div>

Q: What is the ideal distance between stepping stones?

• <div><p>About 6 inches between the edges of each stone in the sequence is common. Rather than sticking to 6 inches, some people measure the length of the entire path and adjust the space between stepping stones a couple of inches wider or narrower than 6 inches to make sure the entire path fits the length perfectly without having to cut a paver at either end. Other people prefer a design with a 24-inch distance from the center of one stone to the center of the next stone, which matches the stride of an average-sized person.</p></div>

Service department--never trusted anything they said was wrong with my car, had problems in the past, but went there again due to time constraints and health problems and I was treated like I'm stupid from the moment I asked the first question. Left in car after telling them I'd take it...

At the full service station the attendant arrived promptly at the pump, filled the tank, washed the windshield, checked under the hood and then check the tires upon request at no extra fee. He was courteous and helpful.
