Ferricrete gravel (also known as simply gravel) is commonly used by us in the Perth hills areas to match the existing landscape and provides a great material for hardstand driveways, carparks, parking areas and garden paths / footpaths. Hardstand driveways can also be installed using roadbase (which is grey in colour) or limestone (which is a cream / white colour), however gravel is the more popular choice, especially in the Perth hills. Hardstand driveways are very long lasting and durable, with minimal annual maintenance. In this case, the ferricrete was then sealed with red asphalt (red oxide bitumen) - see next Blog entry for the completed driveway.
