I live in a typical suburb with typical zoning, if I were to build a

The perimeter would be concrete of course.

It seems like it would be little different, functionally. Or am I
nuts !

They used to build garages all the time years ago with gravel floors.
Sometimes they later poured the floors, others had wooden floors.


I would not have a gravel garage floor, no way. Poured concrete is
just easier for auto repair work and much easier to keep clean. Epoxy
clear coat on concrete seals and protects. A smooth concrete floor
makes it easy to see any auto fluid leaks. Gravel is ok for the
driveway, but again, concrete or even asphalt is better.
