Provide driveway size, photos and access details so the Driveway Specialist can plan materials, disposal and timing. Mention any sloped areas or water run-off issues. If a permeable surface is required, mention that early so drainage can be planned. If you need the driveway kept partly usable during the work, note this in the brief.
