"Good morning bill, you could use any surface really, just if it was a steep slope I wouldn’t recommend using gravel as that has a lot of movement. Tarmac, resin or concrete are good ones as the are one unit and don’t separate"

"Tarmac as it's not porous and as long as you have drainage in place if sloping towards the house as block paving let's water through and causes sinking over time and imprinted concrete would be ok but can be known to be slippery regards dependable driveways"
