Driveways, aprons and walkways
Paver driveways with a border course, crushed stone driveways edged in cobblestone, granite cobblestone aprons at the street, and paver walks to the door.
How we build it
The crushed stone driveway is the classic Cape driveway. We finish the street end with an apron of granite cobblestones, which gives the stone a hard edge to stop at, and edge the sides in cobblestone where the lawn meets the stone.
Paver driveways can be laid in running bond or herringbone, in one color or mixed, with a border course in a second color, and even a compass rose set into the middle.
Walkways run from the driveway to the front door in pavers or stone, with steps and low walls where the ground changes.

Questions
Crushed stone or pavers?
Crushed stone is the traditional Cape driveway: rain soaks through it, and over the years it needs raking and a top-up. Pavers make a firm, even surface in the color and pattern you pick. We build both, and a cobblestone apron at the street works with either.
Does a driveway or an apron need a permit?
A driveway does not need a state building permit, but work inside the town road layout needs a town permit: in Barnstable from the Engineering Division, in Yarmouth a Road Opening Permit. In Barnstable the part inside the public way must be asphalt or concrete for at least 10 feet from the road.
