Driveway day, part 2

Today we finished the driveway (!). It only took about two additional hours of work. We ordered 5 tons of gravel this week from Georgia Landscape Supply in Marietta - I wish I had taken a picture of the guy dumping it, so cool! Per Emily's request, we were happy with the price of our project (compared to hiring someone, or pouring a driveway), the edging stones were from Home Depot and cost around $230 ($1.99 each and we bought 106 I think + tax), and the gravel was $240 ($34/ton + $60 delivery + tax). You'll notice in the pictures below that we ended up bumping out the left side of the driveway. Matt parks over there to the left so I can squeeze by on the right and pull up in front. After we had finished the first part of the driveway, we realized the cars wouldn't fit! (did we measure? no :)) Simple fix though.

Next up is the walkway,.. and soon everything will be absolutely covered in leaves anyway.

5 tons of gravel

Finished!

Driveway day

Does anyone still check this? ;) Here are before/after pictures of what we did today! Took us probably ~7 hours. We need to buy 5 more edging stones to finish off the end. We are going to be ordering a new gravel load in the next few days, 4-5 tons, and I will *try* to remember to post the next after picture. We're so excited about it. We'll also be redoing the walkway soon (in case you think it looks ugly here, because it does).
