I've got both "paved" and "gravel" on a private road,
and "gravel" wins. The other eleven residents on my road maintain the "gravel" part year-round, and have properties with a collective value of about $18,000,000.
What do you bet that the "paved" part—which is breaking up—is returned to gravel?
Except for those driving
other-people's-vehicles , traffic is "tamed", and noisy bikers don't want their chrome dusty.
If your lot is dense with trees, any dust tends to settle-out on their leaves: our vehicles have an awful look, but it's because they're covered in
pollen!
A neighbor's private road
was a dirt road, then a new neighbor moved in with a Ferrari, and convinced his neighbors that the road just
had to be paved.
But
I'd take a look at the paving on Winnipesaukee Drive near the Alton/Wolfeboro line before paving! (Big
permanent bumps!
).

It's the granite.
You can buy the
"granite dust" saved from granite engravers to spread on your garden!
