Is it possible for this small job

A very small part of my driveway was not concreted over when the house was built. I would like to lay pebbles down on that portion as it is very overgrown and unsightly. Would this be possible.

"Yes can be shingled with the right sub base underneath. Would need excavating to a a depth of 6/8 inches over the area needed then laying a membrane to stop weed and movement. 20ml crushed stone and Consolidated with wracked plate and then laying shingle over the top. If the grounds soft for any reason when it rains. This would be the best solution. Thanks"

"Yes to do that is possible. Would highly reccomend putting hardcore down first though and then putting some membrane down. Hardcore to stop it sinking and membrane to stop weeds coming through and maybe if you feel like it to keep it maintained if there is no grass or plants close around that u want to keep them keep it updated with a bit of weed killer spray"
