Crushed shell driveways in Cataumet
The last village before Falmouth, and the quietest corner of Bourne.
Cataumet sits at the southern end of Bourne, close enough to the Falmouth line that the character starts to shift. Older properties, larger lots, and a good number of driveways that have been there long enough to have been resurfaced more than once.
Driveways with history under them
An old driveway is rarely one driveway. It is several, stacked.
Where a driveway has been topped off repeatedly over decades, what is underneath can be a layered mixture of whatever was cheap at the time: stone, shell, cinder, sometimes asphalt millings. That mixture is not necessarily bad. Compacted over years, it often makes a perfectly sound base.
It does mean we dig a test hole rather than assume. Finding good material already in the ground is the difference between a refresh and a rebuild, and it is worth ten minutes to know which one you are buying.
Crushed stone driveways in Cataumet
Whether crushed stone suits a Cataumet driveway usually depends on what is already under it. Where an old driveway has compacted into a sound base over decades, either surface will sit well on top.
Stone is the better bet where the driveway is long, pitched, or used by more than a couple of vehicles.
