I have a 70 yr. old home; brick and stucco. I currently have one of those driveways that have concrete "lanes" with a grassy area in between the concrete. It goes all the way to the back of the house to a little-used garage and up to my back door. I am going to have it blacktopped but do not want the blacktop to go right up to my back door. I would like to use gravel in the back of the house where the driveway meets my backdoor. If you have to step out your backdoor onto a driveway, wouldn't it be more natural to step onto a gravel surface? What are some nice attractive gravel types to use? What about red instead of gray? Has anyone used gravel outside the backdoor and do you like it?
Thanks,
Pam Sedor
