Cinder/Gravel Question

[OrchidIslander]

I've lived many places, but never one where the people so easily share with one another. I thank you all for your advice and input.

We've narrowed our choices down to gravel - absolutely no one wanted to deal with cinder - and perhaps paving.

Rene your advice regarding driveway prep was invaluable, and Scott most of my family thinks like you. Pave it and be done with it. Of course none of them is ponying up any cash whatsoever.

I hate to milk this thread for all is worth, but if anyone can recommend reputable paving companies or individuals - I'm all ears.

Thanks again for the time and insights. I've been here almost 8 years and have always thought that as beautiful as this place is, the people here are among this island's best feature.

Thanks again,
