Gravel Tips
- For driveways, use 4-6 inches of gravel with a compacted base layer for proper drainage and stability.
- Use landscape fabric underneath gravel to prevent weeds from growing through and mixing with soil.
- Gravel compacts by about 30%, so consider ordering extra to reach your desired finished depth.
- Gravel is sold by the ton for bulk orders. One cubic yard of gravel weighs approximately 2,700 lbs (1.35 tons).
- Angular gravel (like crushed limestone) locks together better than round gravel for driveways and paths.
- Edge restraints or borders help keep gravel contained and prevent it from spreading into adjacent areas.
