DIY Gravel Driveway Part 3 / The Carpenter's Daughter

So I have finally finished working on our gravel driveway. We've seen all seasons during this project.

We worked on and off over the last 3 months as we both work full time. But, we so proud of ourselves and I think it roughly cost us about £1300 - I'll tot it up properly soon and leave a pinned comment when I know for sure ;)

If you have any questions about it, then feel free to ask below and I'll try to answer asap.

Also, if you're unsure about how much gravel and subbase you need, then there's a lot of driveway calculators online. Here's a random one for you: http://decorativeaggregates.com/pages/gravel-calculator
