Glow-in-the-dark driveway

How beautiful is this driveway? It's actually doable: It's made of glowstones mixed with gravel. Imagine driving home after a long day at work--awesome.

    Cool, but upon a check of the price of "glowstones," I see that this would turn a simple gravel driveway (usually one of the cheapest types of driveway) into one of the more expensive driveways. In many areas, it's also very impractical, and that impracticality sends the price skyrocketing so that it's not just "one of the more expensive" driveways, but possibly THE most expensive driveway. If you live in a snowy area and have your driveway plowed, your gravel and the glowstones mixed in is going to work its way off the driveways and into your grass, other landscaping, etc.. Gravel driveways in such areas have to be replenished frequently.

    1. Another option is to have the stones seeded (embedded) into a concrete driveway. That way, it's longer lasting, making it more affordable. Or, you can just do an edging of your driveway with the stones, either as gravel or as a permanent installation. :)

  22. Glowstones in sky blue would go great with golden solar powered lights lining the edge of a driveway. It would be great for the summertime!

    very cool. Did you see the stepping stones on the company's site? I think I like those even better. A bit more subtle (probably much less expensive), but still really cool.
    Or, putting some under glass in a bathroom counter... No more nightlight!

    I think the novelty would wear off fairly quickly,and imagine having a light you could never turn off... would make it extremely unfriendly to any wild animal in the vicinity too!
