Crushed shell driveways in Monument Beach
Small lots, short driveways, and a lot of use in July.
Monument Beach is a compact village built around its beach and marina, and the driveways match: short, close together, and often serving more cars in summer than they were ever laid out for.
Short driveways are not easier driveways
There is a assumption that a small driveway is a small job. It usually is not. A short driveway takes the same excavation and the same base depth per square foot as a long one, and it takes proportionally more turning, because there is nowhere else for a car to turn.
Turning is what moves a loose surface fastest. On a short village driveway where every car swings in the same arc, crushed stone will stay put a good deal longer than shell.
Working in tight streets
Access here is the thing that most often changes an estimate. Some of these streets will not take a loaded truck comfortably, which means smaller loads, more trips, or barrowing material the last stretch.
None of that is a problem, but it is time, and time is most of what you pay for once the material is bought. It is worth mentioning when you call so the number we give you is the real one.
Crushed stone driveways in Monument Beach
Short village driveways take a great deal of turning, and turning is what moves a loose surface fastest. That makes crushed stone the more practical surface on most Monument Beach lots.
Where a driveway is barely longer than the car on it, every arrival and departure works the same square yard of material.
