  • I am not sure what you are asking-are you asking what materials for the driveway itself? If so, the determination for materials will be budget. Using crush and run gravel will be the least expensive while creating a brick drive could be the most expensive. You can use asphalt or concrete. If done right and maintained, the surface can last a very long time. Just make sure to get bids from at least 3 contractors and check their insurance, references, and licenses! Do not let them smooth talk you into anything! good luck

    Thanks for the advice especially paragraph 2. I never thought about that. Any ideas for what I can put in or around the circle ? Any pictures ?
    • @Durl are you talking plants? if so I need to know what zone you are in and if it is full sun, shade, morning sun, afternoon sun. then i can give you all sorts of ideas!

    Here is our circle drive..... we are in the country so we have a rock driveway... this is probably the most cost effective. We added a concrete border for the center island and over the years I've planted it.... low maintenance for the center would be a mulch that doesn't need replaced yearly (such as rock or rubber) and much less plantings (a couple trees, bushes and minimal perennials). ..... a rock garden would be beautiful.... and give some interest without needing as many flowers to care for.
