"Just wanted to give you an update on my project... I am going with concrete fiber siding for now. I can use it as a good substrate base for cedar and stone (my ultimate plan) but it works fine as a finish siding for now. It's also relatively green. For my driveway, I went with recycled asphalt (ground-up highway macadam). Drains well, but also stays in place in heavy rains - and is also green."
