That's what our builder did for us-- it requires maintenance every 3 to 10 years depending on the brand and material used. You will have to pressure wash and the apply the product or pay someone to do that for you which in my area the first time is the most expensive then after that it is $500-700 for next application for an 800sq ft drive. Good luck!

Jacey, nice to see you are still here, many aren't after this length of time. I'm having a little chuckle here as when I originally read your post, my first thought was "move house", but I didn't want to sound so rude as to say so. It reminded me of my first house which was at the flat end of the street but the other end was very much "mountain goat territory" and the driveways reminded me of yours. After living in the homes for years, some spent mega amounts removing rock and excavating to create a garage more at road level and from there the stairs started zig-zagging to the front entry, new front entries were even created at a lower level, but the stairs still continued inside the house, there was just no escaping the climb. I wondered how you even got your wheelie bins up and down the drive. Hope you are enjoying your new home, long term I think you made a very wise decision.

It looks very steep from the road level to your front boundary. I would be having a chat with council first about a new crossover, as it will be a big disruption to their gutter, footpath and their land. If they are happy to accept the principle you will need to engage a surveyor to work out the levels to see if it can be designed to be usable. Are there any other adjacent crossovers and driveways that could act as a precedent? Best of luck, Dr Retro of Dr Retro House Calls and Dr Retro Virtual Visits via Zoom
