Driveway

A driveway is a private road, often paved, that leads from a public road to a private residence, garage, or other building. It provides access for vehicles and is typically located on the property itself. Driveways vary in length, width, and construction, and may be made of materials like asphalt, concrete, gravel, or paving stones. Their primary function is to allow cars and other vehicles to enter and exit the property easily and safely. They are often marked by a curb or edge to define the boundary of the driveway. Maintenance, such as snow removal or crack repairs, is a common homeowner responsibility.
