Frequently Asked Questions
How deep should gravel be for a driveway?
For driveways, use 4-6 inches of gravel. Start with a 4-inch base layer of larger crushed stone, then add 2 inches of smaller gravel on top.
How much area does a ton of gravel cover?
One ton of gravel covers approximately 100 square feet at 2 inches deep, or 50 square feet at 4 inches deep.
What type of gravel is best for driveways?
Crushed stone (#57 or #411) is best for driveways as it locks together when compacted.
