What material is used for the driveway?

It looks like gravel? If so, what kind and color and can you get that locally in Massachusetts?

    This is a chip and seal driveway... It is essentially a standard asphalt base with a layer of liquid tar applied to the top. Loose peastone is then "pressed" or "rolled" into the liquid tar, giving it the appearance of a dry, gravel driveway.

    Oh, well that's too bad. I was thinking it was without asphalt and therefore had the ability of rain to penetrate. They do use gravel without asphalt in England, do they not? At least that was always my impression. Is there a reason they don't install a dry gravel driveway?

    We've specified many gravel driveways on our projects, but on an urban property this is a little less effective--the chip and seal holds up better to snow plowing/removal, etc., and it also prevents any weed growth, so it looks tidy year round. Each project (and client) is different, especially regarding how much maintenance they can put into taking care of a driveway, so this is just one of many surfacing alternatives. Unfortunately, chip and seal surfaces are not porous....
