How to install Driveway Gravel
-
1
Prep the base
Excavate 4-6", compact the subgrade, and lay geotextile fabric.
-
2
Spread in lifts
2-3" lifts; compact between each lift.
-
3
Edge & crown
Edging stops migration; crowning sheds water.
-
4
Top up yearly
Plan a thin re-dressing each year as gravel migrates.

RV pad
Put down 8 tons over compacted base for an RV pad. The gray stone looks clean, stays put under the weight of the rig and drains well after rain. First time ordering gravel online and it could not have been simpler. Driver called before arrival and backed in without any trouble.

Good gravel, plan on raking
Six tons for a parking pad next to the garage. The gravel is a good size, not too big for tires and not so small that it scatters. It did arrive as one tall pile, so we spent a Saturday with rakes and a wheelbarrow getting it level. Small quibble. Delivery window was accurate and the driver was careful around my mailbox.

Farm lane
We bought 20 tons of driveway gravel for a farm lane out to the back pasture. Two loads, both drivers called ahead and dropped where we had flagged. Stone is a consistent 3/4 to 1 inch, spread smooth behind the tractor and packed in with a few passes. Tractor and truck tires have not chewed it up at all.

Fresh top coat on the drive
Our 200 foot driveway needed a refresh after ten years, so we ordered 12 tons of driveway gravel. The 3/4 to 1 inch gray stone spread nicely with the box blade and settled in after a week of traffic. No more potholes, and it looks sharp against the lawn. Driver spread it in a line down the drive as he dumped, which saved me hours of raking.
