The driveway is long, but its also gravel.... well, compacted gravel into dirt. Its been a while since anyone has dumped new gravel on it. I'm hoping to get the support of the other three neighbors over the next year or two to pave it, but thats another story all together. Right in front of my house is fresh loose gravel, which will get pushed around much easier.
Anyone have any experience with plow vs blower on gravel/dirt?
