Frequently Asked Questions
How deep should gravel be for a driveway?
For a standard residential driveway, lay 4 inches of gravel base plus 2 inches of surface gravel (6 inches total). High-traffic or commercial driveways may need 8–12 inches. A compacted sub-base improves longevity significantly.
How much does a ton of gravel cover?
One ton of gravel covers approximately 100 square feet at 2 inches deep, or about 50 square feet at 4 inches deep. Coverage varies by gravel type and particle size. Order 10% extra to account for waste.
