Any ideas for a driveway? I read the one about the gravel which is great except that my driveway is on a slope and a good shower of rain would wash a lot of it to the road.

I live on the side of a hill and had the same problem! I decided to brick the driveway instead! I watched craigs list for free brick and got quite a bit from there,then I started watching where new houses were going up.When they started bricking I always stopped and ask if I could have their "rejects". A lot were broken in half, but some were not damaged at all. Never take these brick before asking!
Then, as I got the brick, I would extend the driveway. Just place them closely together. I also used pea gravel to fill in the spaces and holes in the brick. My driveway is over 20 years old now and I've only had to replace a few. Good Luck!
Could you send me some pics of how its looks ?? My FIL is a contractor and said that wasn't a good idea because the bricks will come up from different temperatures . Thanks
I recommend concrete resurfacing with decorative Stamped Concrete Overlays. There's no need to tear out the existing slab so you can save time and money. Plus, it's durable and can be customized to match the look of your whole property. You may also apply concrete sealer or polish on top of it to preserve its beauty.
