How To Describe A House Essay

Decent Essays

The street I live on has a lot of houses on it, and mine just happens to be one of them. Each house has its own driveway each one unique in its own way. Most of them are paved driveways, but mine happens to be made from hard pack. I can picture the driveway when it was built, still in the same place and still being made of rocks. The driveway to my house is a narrow driveway about as wide as one and ½ car widths. The driveway separates my house from my neighbors and serves as a place to park cars. It’s not perfect and doesn’t appear to have been made by professionals. It doesn’t have sharp clean edges, instead it just fades away at the ends. Its composition is not uniform. Millions of small rocks scattered throughout the driveway, each rock varying in size from a grain of sand, to a small stone the size of a ping-pong ball. Each rock varying in color, size, shape, and type of rock making each one unique. A strip of grass runs down the length of one side forming a boundary between the driveway and my neighbor’s house. A small concrete wall runs down the length of the driveway closest to my house and extends out a couple feet. On the wall is a pit of white colored gravel which is used for drainage. This allows rain dripping from the roof to land in a gravel pit instead of allowing rain to erode the surface of the driveway. It has some weeds growing along the edges that sometimes invade bits of the driveway sprouting up in almost random locations nowhere near the grass.
