. The complete home landscape. Landscape gardening; Gardens. CONSTRUCTION DETAILS—DRIVES AND WALKS 31 construction of walks and drives, providing they are not extensive. There is now obtainable a stain that can be used to soften the glare. Crushed stone (Fig. 32B). Where there is a considerable length of driveway, this is most serviceable and fairly easy of upkeep. The macadam road is durable and good in color, blending in with the landscape. It is best to secure the bluish material that is rather sharp. Walks made in this way are adaptable to either formal or informal designs. Gravel (Fig. 32 C) is a good material to use. In the confines of the garden proper gravel is, perhaps, used more successfully than any other material. It is not, however, recommended for heavily used driveways, or on inclines. Cinders. The cinder or ash path is more or less common and provides a fairly good surface if well tamped down. It is not a good material for a much used road except when used as a sub-grade for stone or gravel. / <V.
