Generally, gravel is the cheapest material, with resin and concrete being the most expensive.

Concrete is seen as one of the best low-maintenance materials for a driveway. Yet, there isn't really such a thing as a high-maintenance driveway material, as most require the same level of upkeep and care, which, thankfully, isn't usually a lot.

Concrete driveways made from imprinted slabs are much lower maintenance than poured concrete. The difference from traditional concrete slabs is that you are less likely to have weeds growing between the paving joints.

Cost-effective: Gravel driveways are often the most affordable option upfront. This is why they're such a popular choice for homeowners on a tight budget. Excellent drainage: Gravel is permeable, allowing water to easily drain through and reducing the risk of standing water and potential flooding.
