Crushed shell driveways in West Yarmouth
The Route 28 side of the town, busy in season and quieter than it looks in February.
West Yarmouth runs along the Route 28 corridor between Hyannis and the rest of the town. It mixes year round housing with a large seasonal population, and driveways here get a very uneven year.
Four busy months and eight quiet ones
Uneven use wears a driveway differently from steady use.
A driveway that carries heavy traffic in July and almost none in January does most of its wearing in a short burst. Ruts form quickly during the season and then sit unchanged through winter, which is why so many look worse in September than they do in May.
The useful consequence is timing. Work done in spring gets you a driveway in good shape for the months that matter, where the same work in the fall mostly benefits an empty house.
If the property is a rental, it is worth being honest with us about how many cars actually use it. That number drives the base depth more than the size of the driveway does.
Crushed stone driveways in West Yarmouth
Crushed stone is worth considering wherever a property takes summer rental traffic. Several unfamiliar drivers turning in the same spot for four months is hard use, even if the driveway looks idle the rest of the year.
For a quieter year round house here, shell is perfectly sound.
