Field Lab Green Features
The gravel driveway selected for this project was not only an economically sound choice, but allows for eco-friendly infiltration and evaporation of storm water.
A traditional asphalt driveway would have resulted in more emissions and heat-trap effects which can alter the climate of the plants around the area. Gravel helps to negate the heat trap.
