[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 899424, member: 7509"] I had the same question this past year. I hate plowing snow off of gravel. After lots of input decided to pour a 4" thick concrete pad with rebar on 2ft centers 30 ft out from the garage where my heavy truck and other vehicles will usually be parked. From there out to the road had a good contractor pave with 2-1/2" of asphalt. The key to asphalt especially is to put down and compact a good base. The concrete supports the stationary wheel load in hot weather better than asphalt and the black asphalt absorbs heat from the sun and melts snow better than light colored concrete. This has worked very well and the best of both worlds - so far. Good luck. Jim [/QUOTE]
