What is the most economical driveway material?

• <div><p>Gravel driveways are the most economical driveway material, followed pretty closely by asphalt and concrete. At about <b>$1 to $3 per square foot, </b>gravel is about a third of the cost of either of the more common alternatives. But, not everyone likes the look and feel of the material and may opt to pay more for something that looks better.</p></div>

Q: What do you put under permeable pavers?

• <div><p>Professional installers often include a deep layer of crushed gravel under permeable pavers to allow more runoff to soak through into the soil below. Many installations will include multiple layers of gravel, with coarser aggregate at the base and finer aggregate that sits on top of that bottom layer. Above the gravel, you&rsquo;ll often find coarse sand that helps reduce paver shifting over time. Some permeable paver designs include a water collection system set into the gravel layer to route runoff to a safe area for disposal.</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: What are the parts of the driveway approach?

• <div><p>A driveway approach is the part of a driveway where the public road meets the private driveway. This section contains several key elements, including the driveway apron, the curb cut, and the end slope. Depending on the slope of the driveway, this area may also contain the trench drain. </p></div>

Q: What driveway materials last the longest?

• <div><p>Pavers last longer than both concrete and asphalt when well cared for. Since you can place individual pavers that suffer damage, you won't need to repave the entire driveway for an average of up to 50 years. However, the best material for you comes down to your local climate and budget.</p></div>
