I drove home today and passed a van which said about new drive ways for properties. I was looking at the van when the man came out of the other property. I asked him if I could have a quote. They were so expensive I couldn't afford any one of them.
£5000 for yellow gravel
£7000 for tarmac
£12000 for bricks.
Do you have a drive way? If so what is it like?

My goodness that is really expensive to get that done there Maxi.
I do not have a driveway here it is just an alleyway a dirt one at that.
But the guys who do the driveways here are mostly travelers of a type and do not charge all that much.

@TiarasOceanView I am pleased that public transport is cheap where you live. The train station is a twenty minute walk away. A bus stops around the corner. My son's wheelchair works best on flat ground that isn't damaged.

@maximax8 Yes wish you had some there that would do it on the cheap but quality of course.
Well Maxi yes that would be terrible for your sons wheelchair.
I do not drive or rather do not have a car don't need one here as transport is so cheap and good. So it makes no difference to me the dirt alleyway.

@birjudanak Yes, one color will hopefully look the best on my drive way.

These rate were according to what?
If you come to India you will see we hardly have space for drive ways

@maximax8 The amount which was quoted was for depending upon the square feet area or how is it.
What all location you have visited?

That sounds ridiculous. Periodically, I have people come around that want to give me a quote..but honestly, getting new driveway gravel or having it black topped is not something I am going to spend the money on now.
