There are pros and cons to all driveway surfaces. Concrete can be problematic as it can become uneven and crack, leading to puddles. Resin-bonded and resin-bound driveways are popular but have their drawbacks. Gravel driveways continue to be a top choice for most in terms of cost, maintenance, appearance and longevity.

The cost of a driveway depends on the amount of excavation/preparation required, the size of the driveway, and the surface finish. 

Concrete, while low-cost, might have an industrial-looking finish and is prone to cracking. Gravel driveways can be more affordable and don't have problems with puddles. Costs also include any special features and additional landscaping for a high-end finish, plus the hidden costs of laying a driveway, such as removing the existing driveway.

Traditional gravel driveways required frequent maintenance to rake stones back into place and suffered from rutting and thinning out. Modern solutions, like installing Gravelrings, create low-maintenance gravel driveways by keeping the gravel in place and resisting weed growth.
