Does anyone have views / experience for a choice of materials and build suggestions for paths to a front door to be resilient to snow 'n' ice?
More a general question brought on by taking the dustbin out on a frosty morning and an 80 year old person in the house than an urgent need.
Finishes that I have around my house include Pressed Council slabs, gravel and aggregate-exposed concrete.
Of those:
Council Slabs are an elevated patio on adjustable rises, and is very well drained but perfectly flat so sometimes gets ice puddles.
Gravel is perfect but more difficult for eg wheelchairs.
Exposed aggrgate concrete looks OK and drains well as it has a fall, and is good until conditions become a little more extreme.
